Illustration by Etienne Calo (Paris, Gastaud fr\u00e8res, 1945)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

On December 20, 1757, Voltaire took up winter residence in Lausanne. There, he wrote part of a \u201ccoitonnerie\u201d that would become one of the most widely read, illustrated and transposed texts: Candide ou l’optimisme<\/em>, the original edition of which went to press in Geneva in 1759.Jean-Pierre Payot (1914-1984), director of Payot bookshops in Switzerland, was fascinated by this tale and assembled an exceptional collection of Candide <\/em>, including 10 of the 17 editions published in 1759, as well as a wide range of illustrated editions. Following a donation by Jean-Marc Payot, the BCUL is delighted to present a selection of this remarkable collection to the public. <\/p>\n\n

The exhibition can be visited at BCUL’s Riponne site from November 9, 2023 to October 19, 2024.<\/p>\n\n

Curator: Silvio Corsini, former curator at the BCUL<\/p>\n\n

Information for visitors: <\/strong>after 7 months on show, the original illustrated books have been replaced by reproductions for conservation reasons.<\/p>\n\n
