Description
Finely engraved frontis. with profile of Le Bas (drawn by Cochin & engraved by C.E. Gaucher) & finely engraved tailpiece at the end of the biographical sketch (by same). xlix, 92, 19 pp. catalogue list. 8vo, orig. semi-stiff boards (head of spine a little split), leaves uncut. Paris: Clousier & Joullain, 1783. The very rare sale catalogue of the engraver to the Cabinet du Roi; with a valuable list of 133 catalogues produced by Joullain since 1763. Le Bas (1707-83), studied under Antoine Hérisset and is famous for his skilled imitations of works by Teniers, Wouwerman, Falens, Coypel, Watteau, Oudry, etc. This catalogue begins with a lengthy and most informative biographical sketch based on notes by Hecquet, a connoisseur of prints and close friend of Le Bas. It discusses contemporary debates on the artistic merit of engraving and Le Bas’ reputation in the art world, providing an intimate understanding of the man. The present catalogue describes 15 paintings, 56 drawings, 705 lots of prints (some very large group lots), 10 lots of artist’s tools, a lot containing several reams of fine paper, and three lots of furniture and several portfolios, for a total of 787 lots. The auctioneer denotes whether or not prints are in “first state.” There is a table of artists at the end. Nice copy, sporadic marginal dampstaining. The frontispiece portrait has a small stain just touching the image. ❧ Benezit, Vol. 8, pp. 586 (Le Bas). Blanc, Trésor de la Curiosité…, Vol. II, pp. 84-87. Lugt 3639. N.B.G., Vol. 30, col. 65.

Description
15 folding lithographed plates (three handcolored). xvi, 631, [1] pp.; xiv, 1104 pp. Two vols. 8vo, cont. half-sheep & marbled boards (lower joint of Vol. I partly cracked but strong, minor foxing), spines gilt. Karlsruhe: C.T. Groos, 1829-32. First edition of one of the most extensive introductions to mineralogy and geology of the period. Walchner (1799-1865), was professor at the University of Freiburg and, in 1825, was appointed professor of mineralogy, geology, and chemistry at the Polytechnic of Karlsruhe. He wrote many books and articles. “Very scarce. A technical treatment of mineralogy designed to be sufficient for the isolated amateur to study the subject. It covers all the basic elements including crystallography, physical and chemical properties, and a lengthy descriptive portion that covers the various mineral species. One section provides a list of recently published mineralogical literature.”–Schuh, Mineralogy & Crystallography: A Biobibliography, 1469 to 1920, 4866–(incorrectly giving the date of Vol. II as 1830). The first volume is devoted to descriptive mineralogy and the second to geology. Nice set. Old stamp on each title of the “Grosherz: Bad: Muenzverwaltung.” ❧ A.D.B., Vol. 40, pp. 656-57. Poggendorff, II, 1244-45.
