Add to basketIn-4 de : un faux-titre, un beau frontispice représentant Vénus anadyomène, gravé en 1776 d'après le tableau original de Titien, par Aug. De Saint Aubin, Gaveur du roi, titre orné d'une grande vignette, un feuillet (dissertation sur les attributs de Vénus,) orné d'un bandeau gravé, un feuillet d'avertissement et 108 pages. Dans…le texte nombreuses médailles gravées ainsi qu'un hors-texte (8 médailles gravées) et un beau cul-de-lampe. Exemplaire à belles marges. Edition originale. Ex-libris au contreplat de Henry Houssaye. Fines piqûres sur le faux-titre, le front; le titre et 2 pages de la table, le reste de l'ouvrage est en excellent état. Demi-maroquin bleu à coins, filet or sur les plats, dos à nerfs richement orné de caissons fleuris, tête dorée. Reliure de David. En très bon état malgré un léger gauchissement. M. L'abbé de la Chau était Bibliothécaire, Secrétaire-Interpréte & garde du cabinet des Pierres-gravées de S. A. S. Mgr. Le Duc d'Orléans. Dans la mythologie romaine, Vénus était la déesse de l'amour, du sexe, de la beauté et de la fertilité. Elle était l'homologue romaine de la déesse grecque Aphrodite. Cependant, la Vénus romaine avait beaucoup plus de qualités que l'Aphrodite grecque; elle était une déesse de la victoire, de la fertilité, et même de la prostitution. Selon la mythologie grecque, telle qu'elle est présentée dans la Théogonie d'Hésiode, Aphrodite naquit de l'écume de mer après que Saturne (Cronus grec) ait castré son père Uranus (Ouranos) et son sang coula dans la mer. Cette dernière explication semble être plus populaire en raison des innombrables uvres représentant Vénus naissant de la mer dans un coquillage. Des images de Vénus ont été retrouvées sous d'innombrables formes, allant de sculptures aux mosaïques en passant par des sanctuaires, des peintures murales et des fresques domestiques. Vénus, en raison de sa beauté naturelle et de sa nature sexuelle, était souvent représentée nue. La plupart des sculptures de Vénus ressemblent à l'Aphrodite de Cnide et à la Vénus de Milo. Cependant, il existe de nombreuses peintures murales à Pompéi qui représentent Vénus sous différentes formes. Vénus a continué d'être un sujet populaire auprès des artistes à travers l'antiquité et la renaissance jusqu'à nos jour Henry Houssaye (1848-1911)) fils du poète Arsène Houssaye, l'auteur de l'Histoire du 41e fauteuil ; il fut décoré pour faits de guerre en 1870. Collaborateur de la Revue des Deux Mondes, du Journal des Débats et de plusieurs autres journaux ou revues, il s'est occupé d'histoire et surtout de l'histoire et de l'art grecs. Il a été président de la Société des gens de lettres en 1896 et en 1897. Élu à l'Académie française le 6 décembre 1894 en remplacement de Charles Lecomte de Lisle, Henry Houssaye a été reçu le 12 décembre 1895 par Ferdinand Brunetière.

Chez M. l'abbé de la Chaud M. l'Abbé Le Blond | à Paris 1780 - 1784 | 20.50 x 34 cm | 2 volumes reliés | Edition originale, magnifiquement illustrée d'un frontispice de Cochin, gravé par Saint-Aubin, d'une vignette de titre du même, de 59 grands culs-de-lampe et en-tête (dessinés et gravés par Saint-Aubin) exp…liqués et décryptés en début d'ouvrage, et de 179 figures hors-texte présentant chacune une pierre gravée (gravées par Saint-Aubin). Belle impression sur Grand papier de Hollande. Reliure en plein chagrin maroquiné noir ca 1850. Dos à nerfs plats orné de filets et roulettes sur les nerfs. Encadrements à frois sur les plats avec fleurons angulaires. Tranches marbrées. Legers frottements aux coiffes, coins. Manque de papier en marge d'un feuillet du tome I. Quelques feuillets brunis. Pâle mouillure angulaire sur 3 feuillets du tome I. Bel exemplaire, à grandes marges. * Le Duc d'Orléans, Louis-Philippe D'Orléans, fut un grand collectionneur, tant de livres, d'antiques et de pierres gravées ; ces dernières fournissent d'utiles renseignements à l'archéologie et sont même déterminantes pour les études sur l'Antiquité. Réunir des pierres gravées exigeait de longues et patientes recherches et beaucoup d'argent, et il n'y a guère que les souverains qui pouvaient rassembler une telle collection. Celle du Duc d'Orléans fut à cet égard remarquable. En fin d'ouvrage, une lettre de Daubenton sur l'exactitude de la représentation des hippopotames. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition, magnificently illustrated with a frontispiece by Cochin, engraved by Saint-Aubin, a title vignette by the same, 59 large tailpieces and headpieces (designed and engraved by Saint-Aubin) explained and deciphered at the beginning of the work, and 179 figures hors-texte each presenting an engraved stone (engraved by Saint-Aubin). Fine printing on deluxe Holland paper. Full black morocco-grained shagreen binding ca 1850. Smooth spine with flat raised bands decorated with fillets and roulettes on the bands. Triple-ruled frames on boards with corner fleurons. Marbled edges. Light rubbing to headcaps, corners. Paper lacking to margin of one leaf in volume I. Some leaves browned. Pale angular dampstain on 3 leaves of volume I. Handsome copy, with wide margins. * The Duke of Orléans, Louis-Philippe D'Orléans, was a great collector, both of books, antiquities and engraved stones; the latter provide useful information to archaeology and are even decisive for studies on Antiquity. Gathering engraved stones required long and patient research and much money, and there were scarcely any but sovereigns who could assemble such a collection. That of the Duke of Orléans was in this respect remarkable. At the end of the work, a letter from Daubenton on the accuracy of the representation of hippopotamuses. (32) 303pp. et (4) v (3) 215pp. (5).

Cohen-de Ricci 542; Ray 67; Brunet III, 727. A handful of minor dark spots to the boards, occasional very minor foxing, some leaves and plates with a faint overall browning, one plate with an expert marginal repair (not approaching the image), but AN ESPECIALLY PLEASING COPY, entirely clean and fresh internally, printed on very bright paper, and in sparkling bindings showing almost no wear. Superbly bound and with notable provenance, this is the sumptuously illustrated catalogue of the Duc d'Orléans' extensive collection of engraved gemstones, our copy including the often missing cancelled leaves and seven extra erotic engravings. Duke Philippe II d'Orléans (1674-1723), who served as Regent of France during Louis XV's minority, assembled a large collection of ancient engraved gemstones and medals, which were sold to Catherine the Great of Russia during the French Revolution and now reside at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. The present catalogue, produced after the collection had been inherited by Louis Philippe Joseph, duc d'Orléans (1747-93), was the work of by Gaspard Michel, Abbé Le Blond, librarian at the Bibliothèque Mazarine, and Geraud, Abbé La Chau, who was associated with the Palais Royal, Paris. The plates are nearly all the work of Jacques-Gabriel de Saint-Aubin (1724-80), the older brother of the well-known Augustin. Despite the aim of the work as being largely documentary (in Ray's words, Saint-Aubin depicted the gems with "minute exactness"), it is nevertheless full of rich and imaginative artwork, with graceful vignette tailpieces inspired by the original stones. The official publication--with the names of two clergymen attached to it--omitted a few spintria, or Roman erotic medals, and provided edited versions of a few stones with the original exaggerated genitalia of fauns and satyrs reduced or removed from the composition. However, seven supplementary plates were produced showing the actual erotic stones and medals, and all are present here, along with both the cancelled and uncancelled states of pp. 135-36 and 261-62 of the first volume and 61-64 of the second volume, with the criticism of Flaconet in the first case and the erotic culs-de-lampe in the latter two. Our copy is offered in splendid bindings by Lefebvre, who took over the workshop of his uncle, the celebrated Jean-Claude Bozerian (called Bozerian l'aîné, to differentiate him from other Bozerian binders) when the latter retired. The standard of workmanship remained consistently high under Lefebvre, and the present bindings, with immaculate, glittering tooling over red morocco, are no exception. Our copy has graced the shelves of no fewer than four notable collections. The first recorded owner is Duke Albert Casimir of Saxe-Teschen (1738-1822), the founder of the Albertina in Vienna, which to this day houses one of the world's finest collections of old master prints and drawings. This copy later passed into the library of Philip Hofer (1898-1984), librarian, bibliographer, and collector, whose.
