The Société littéraire typographique was a publishing house founded by Beaumarchais and Condorcet in order to publish a new complete edition of Voltaire's works. Based in Kehl in Baden to escape censorship it operated from 1780 to 1790, and included all stages of book production. Two editions of the 'Oeuvres Completes de Voltaire' were published simultaneously, one in 70 volumes in 8vo and one in 92 volumes in 12mo. [Brunet].
Some rubbing to spine, hinges and corners on all volumes.
