'.there is scarcely a better book' - D.B. Updike. Fine specimen book from Lamesle's firm, who took over the foundry of Pierre Lot in 1737 and five years later, issued this "extremely handsome and dignified specimen . This book, both in type and ornaments, I think, presents better than any other the output of French foundries during the last quarter of the seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth century. The collection of types is remarkably fine. They are purely old style, and after each size the initials and ornaments belonging to that size are introduced . For the student of French type-forms of the earlier part of the eighteenth century there is scarcely a better book." A superb copy of a rare and important book - OCLC locates only one copy (Houghton Library, lacking initial blank). Lamesle's book was reprinted in 1758, when he sold the foundry to Nichlas Gando. A modern facsimile edition was produced in 1965. Audin 27; Birrell & Garnett, 35; Bigmore & Wyman, p. 419; Updike, Printing Types (1922), vol.

The most spectacular eighteenth-century French type specimen book. The first part of the work displays an interesting collection of types of various periods of splendid ornaments, on seventy-eight leaves. Besides Latin, it includes, Greek, Armenian, Arabic, and Hebrew specimens, shows different faces of the same size, presents two curious types cut by Robert Granjon in the sixteenth: "Cicero Gros Oeil no. xxxiv" and "Petit Parangon no. li", and an illicit copy of the Imprimerie Royale's "romains du roi", cut by Jean Cot's son Pierre. Of the finishing nine leaves of musical scores (on staves of four or five lines), three were printed in red and black. Updike claims that Lamesle's book both in type and ornaments "presents better than any other, the output of French foundries during the last quarter of the seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth century. The collection of types is remarkably fine. [.] For the student of French type-forms of the earlier part of the eighteenth century, there is scarcely a better book." (Updike, 1962) Claude Lemesle was a publisher and type-founder at Paris. He bought Jean Cot's foundry (Cot père, mère, et fils) in 1737, which he sold it to Nicolas Gando in 1758. Later he started the business again in Avignon, but his subsequent history is unknown. (Bigmore & Wyman, 2014) Bibl.: Bigmore, E. C., & Wyman, C. H. W.: A Bibliography of Printing. Bigmore & Wyman.
