Description
Paris: No printer stated, 1652. Hardcover. Fine. A superb album OF NINETY-ONE PLATES IN RICH EARLY IMPRESSIONS presents the work of three French and one Dutch artists, including the Parisian architect Antoine Le Pautre’s ideal and realized designs for exteriors and interiors at the height of the French Baroque. All eight suites are in excellent condition. Bound in contemporary vellum over stiff boards, four green ties. The first two suites (fifty-eight plates) are essentially the complete works of Le Pautre. All in first state, these impressions appeared prior to his 1652 privilege and title leaf. The plates are notable for their dramatic handling of space and their sculptural approach to mass. “Le Pautre, son of a master woodworker, was trained as an engraver by his brother Jean. He chose architecture as his profession, and advanced rapidly. By the age of twenty-two he was titled ‘mason and architect,’ and in the following year received the title of ‘architect of the king's buildings.’ He is responsible for several major buildings in Paris and is the chief representative of the baroque episode in French architecture, which was based on Italian models. He became one of the founding members of the Academie Royale d'Architecture when it was established in 1671. “The examples contained in Le Pautre's Oeuvres are evenly divided between four built works, including his important designs for the Chapelle de Porte-Royale and the Hotel de Beauvais [and Hôtel de Fontenay-Mareuil], all designed and engraved by Le Pautre; and four projects consisting of highly imaginative fantasies on country houses, for which the ultimate source appears to be the third book of Jacques Androuet du Cerceau's ‘Livres d'architecture’. “The unbuilt projects on country houses had considerable impact on the designs of later architects. Bernini was influenced by the fourth project in his first design for the east front of the Louvre, and both the second and fourth designs would be adapted for projects by such major eighteenth century architects as Germain Boffrand.”(Millard) ¶Préaud, Graveurs du XVIIe Siècle: Antoine, Jacques, et Jean Lepautre 14-34: 3-5, 7-58, 60-61; Berger, Antoine Le Pautre passim; see Weibenson & Baines, The Mark Millard Architectural Collection French Books 96. ADDITIONAL SERIES OF PLATES: Bound with Le Pautre’s plates are Gabriel Perelle's highly romantic and tranquil Italianate landscapes and ruins. Eighteen of the plates comprise the desirable "Views of the Ruins of Rome and Environs", a collaboration with the Dutch painter Jan Asselijn, “a prominent landscape painter and draftsman in the Dutch Italianate tradition. In Rome, Asselijn became a member of the Bentvueghels (Dutch for “Birds of a Feather”), an association of northern artists who painted views of the sun-drenched Roman countryside, as well as picturesque scenes of everyday urban life.”(Metropolitan Museum of Art) Asselijn’s celebrated painting “De bedreigde zwaan” (“The Threatened Swan”) hangs prominently in Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. “Gabriel Perelle was the son of a farmer for the Duke de La Vienville, who noticed his taste for design and sponsored lessons for him with the painter Daniel Rabel. Perelle continued his studies in Paris, where he worked in the atelier of the eminent French painter Simon Vouet. Perelle developed his talent uniquely in the arts of design and engraving and in painting in the landscape genre… “Where Perelle's paintings were inspired by the designs of Claude Lorrain and Francisque Millet, his designs for his engraved views are close in spirit to those of Israel Silvestre… Perelle produced his views in the traditional format of the oblong illustrations of Jean Marot: they belong to the growing number of views produced for the public, rather than for royal patronage.”(Millard) ¶For suites III-V, see Hollstein, Dutch & Flemish Etchings, Engravings and Woodcuts 1450-1700 I: 44. The final two plates are from Jean Marot's Ceiling Sections. ¶See Mauban, Jean Marot: Architecte et graveur Parisien 176-177. FULL CONTENTS: LE PAUTRE, Antoine. 1621-1679.

Contemporary calf, blind rules to boards, blind fillets along joints, gilt tooling to board edges, lettering pieces, gilt-edged raised bands and gilt volume numbers to spine.

Light toning to text, a few faint dampstains and early owner inscriptions (of Thomas Percival, Royton, Lancashire) to endleaves. Appealing copies, uniformly and attractively bound. $750. * Fifth editions. The first edition of Blackerby's Justice of the Peace, His Companion appeared in 1711. A companion volume, Cases in Law, which carries the subtitle "The Second Part of the Justice of Peace's Companion," followed in 1717. Both were held in high esteem, went through several editions and served as primary sources for many subsequent manuals. Justice of the Peace is arranged alphabetically by topic. Such entries as Apprentices, Bastardy, Gaming Houses, Overseers of the Poor, Papists and Popish Recusants and Witchcraft offer a unique perspective on rural English society during the early 1700s. Our copies, bound as a uniform set, are from the library of Thomas Percival [1719-1762], a Lancashire landowner and antiquary. On his death, his papers (and presumably his library) passed to his son-in-law, Joseph Pickford [1744-1819] (ODNB). Pickford, who later adopted the surname Radcliffe, was a magistrate and justice of the peace best known for the prolonged and brutal campaign against the Luddites which won him a knigh.
