Est: £5,000 - £7,000
Jean Claude Richard, Abbé de Saint-Non Voyage pittoresque ou description des rouyaumes de Naples et de Sicile. Paris: imprimerie Clousier, 1781-1786 FIRST EDITION, 5 volumes, folio (518 x 330mm.), 305 engraved plates, maps and plans, many plates with 2 views, some maps folding, numerous engraved illustrations, vignettes, head- and tail-pieces, contemporary calf gilt, spines with raised bands in seven compartments, morocco labels in second, third, and fourth compartments, gilt edges, marbled endpapers, extremities slightly rubbed, one morocco label detached "One of the monuments of French eighteenth-century book production" (Blackmer). Jean Claude Richard de Saint-Non went to Italy in 1759 and studied art and architecture in Rome where he met the artists Fragonard and Hubert-Robert, who were among those who contributed drawings for this work. He travelled to Naples with them in the spring of 1760, spending several weeks in Naples itself, as well as visiting Paestum, Pompeii and Herculaneum, where he drew copies of murals and antiquities. On his return to Paris in 1761 preparation of the plates was put in hand under the direction of Jean Benjamin de Laborde, co-author with Zurlauben of the equally monumental Tableaux...de la Suisse. However the cost of such a lavish production ruined Saint-Non and hastened his death in 1791. The magnificent engraved plates include maps, views of Naples and its environs, neighbouring towns, Vesuvius, churches, palaces and other buildings, catacombs, temples, tombs, grottos, ancient and Renaissance works of art, and many other architectural and scenic subjects, after Cochin, Fragonard, Hubert-Robert, Saint-Non and others.

1791 Criticisms on The Rolliad Four Works in One Volume, 1790-1791 LEATHER
Est: -
[Joseph Richardson, George Ellis, Richard Tickell, et al:] Criticisms of the Rolliad. Part the First. [BOUND WITH:] Criticisms of the Rolliad. Part the Second. [BOUND WITH:] Probationary Odes for the Laureatship; with a Preliminary Discourse by Sir John Hawkins, Knt. [BOUND WITH:] Political Miscellanies. By the Authors of The Rolliad and Probationary Odes. London: Printed for J[ames] Ridgway, 1791, 1790. Four works in one volume, 8vo (22 cm) in early/period tree calf; 164 p.; iv, 136 p.; xliv, 131, [1] p.; [iii]-viii, 156 p. Ninth and fourth editions of the first and second parts of the Rolliad; ninth edition of the Odes; first edition of the Miscellanies. As the bindings spine label states, this is the Rolliad Compleat. The Rolliad was a popular, bitterly satirical attack on William Pitt and his followers, disguised in the surprisingly post-modernist form of a series of mock reviews of a non-existent epic poem entitled The Rolliad. Written by various Whig members of the "Esto Perpetua Club" (Richard Tickell, Richard Fitzpatrick, Joseph Richardson, George Ellis, French Laurence and others) and first issued piecemeal in the Morning Herald in 1784, it is a landmark in the history of political satire, vivacious and witty, bizarre and scabrous. The authors followed up on its success with the Probationary Odes, a collection of satires and parodies purporting to be the competitive essays of Thomas Wartons rivals for the post of poet laureate. Front paste-down with the engraved armorial bookplate of Sir John Eden, Bt. (1740-1812).

WALLICH, Nathaniel (1786-1854). Plantae asiaticae rariores; or, Descriptions and figures of a select number of unpublished East Indian Plants. London: [Richard Taylor for] Treuttel and Würtz, [1829]-1830-1832. 3 volumes, 2o (525 x 360 mm.), 295 hand-colored lithographic plates on 294 sheets, by M. Gauci and Weddell after Gorchand, Vishnu Prasad, M. Curtis, Miss Drake, and others, plates 222/223 constituting one folding plate, printed by Engelmann, Graf, Coindet & Co., Engelmann & Co., and Graf & Soret, one hand-colored engraved plate (plate 6 in vol. I), plates 226-300 constituting one folding double-page engraved map. (A few plates with marginal surface soiling, a few plates trimmed touching imprint, some light spotting predominately to text leaves.) Contemporary tan morocco gilt, spines in 6 compartments with 5 raised bands gilt, gilt-lettered in 2, edges gilt (rebacked preserving original spines, corners renewed, rubbed, hinges starting, upper cover of vol. 2 partially detached). A MAGNIFICENT RENDERING OF INDIAN PLANTS according to European taste, including on the first plate the orchid tree (Amherstia nobilis) which the author found near a derelict monastery on the Salween river in what is now Myanmar. Like Roxburgh's earlier Plants of the Coast of Coromandel, this work was heavily subsidized by the East India Company, who even employed the same team of artists at the Calcutta botanic garden where Wallich served as director from 1817 to 1846. The Indian plant illustrator Gorchand executed 146 watercolor paintings for the work, and his colleague Vishnu Prasad 109, "but all that is known about these two is their miserable pay - they received the same salary as scribes" (Lack). Wallich had several years' leave of absence in England to supervise the printing and coloring. According to his preface, the skilled colorist was "Mr. John Clark."

Provenance: marquis Townshend (ex-libris armorié aux contreplats). ÉDITION ORIGINALE, PREMIER TIRAGE. Jean-Claude Richard Saint-Non se rendit en Italie pour la première fois en 1759. Il fit alors la connaissance de Fragonard et d'Hubert Robert avec lesquels il visita Naples, Herculanum, Pompéi et le Vésuve. "A son retour [en France] il entreprit d'en publier la relation (Voyage pittoresque de Naples et de Sicile) et l'accompagna de planches et vignettes, gravées par les meilleurs artistes du temps d'après ses propres dessins et ceux de ses compagnons; car il en exécuta un grand nombre, soit à l'eau-forte, soit au lavis d'un procédé de son invention, et qui diffère de celui de Le Prince. Une semblable publication, ne s'adressant qu'à un nombre très restreint de riches amateurs, était au dessus des forces d'un simple particulier. Elle fut ruineuse pour Saint-Non, et absorba non-seulement sa propre fortune, mais aussi celle d'un de ses frères" (Hoefer). Saint-Non s'assura les services des meilleurs artistes et écrivains de son temps dont Vivant Denon qui rédigea un grand nombre d'articles. Cet ouvrage, qui compte parmi les plus ambitieux jamais publiés par une personne privée, servit de modèle pour des publications postérieures comme le Voyage Pittoresque de Houel et le célèbre Voyage en Dalmatie et en Istrie de Las Cases.
