Add to basketSmall 4to (222 x 172 mm), a wide-margin copy, 81ff. title page, 71 leaves of ornament specimens (7 of which are double-page, mounted on stubs), followed by 9 leaves of music (3 of which are double-page, mounted on stubs), title and music specimens printed in red and black, printed throughout within a double border, the specimens… are clean and crisp, marbled endpapers, contemporary calf, rubbed, joints cracked, corners rubbed through, spine tooled in gilt with original red morocco label lettered in gilt, a very good copy. An fine and important early French type specimen showing an interesting array of types of various periods, some dating back nearly two centuries, and some in the latest fashion. Of this specimen book Updike spoke very highly "Lamesle issued in 1742 an 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." "Lamesle's specimen book of 1742 was meticulously planned, with much of the text used for the specimen settings running on continuously from roman to italic and from one size to the next. His types were consistently numbered from start to finish, with Greek and Hebrew included in the numeration. Ornaments, signs, titlings and initial letters of various sizes were shown at appropriate junctures in the sequence, making the book a very comprehensive and helpful guide to printers deciding what they needed to order from him."Dreyfus. Updike I, 270; Audin, 27; Bigmore & Wyman I, 417; Birrell & Garnett 35; Dreyfus, Aspects of French Eighteenth Century Typography, 1982.

[1 leaf (title page); 71 leaves of type and ornament specimens (of which 7 are double-pa…ge, mounted to paper guards); and 9 leaves of music type (of which 3 are. 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.
