About This Item

Paris: Defer de Maisonneuve, 1793. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Contemporary mottled calf, rebacked, ornate border stamped in gilt on boards, gilt-stamped lettering in red leather spine label, spine compartmented in gilt; large 4to (330 x 243 mm); pp. 125, [1], with 4 color engravings (all in proof before letters) after Monsiau. First and only edition with Monsiau's illustrations. This handsome and imposing volume was one of the earliest works to appear in France with color-printed engravings. The publisher, Defer de Maisonneuve, was an innovator in this regard, publishing a number of works with colour engravings between 1786 and 1796. The four designs by Nicolas-Andre Monsiau are reproduced in soft, delicate pastel hues by J. F. azenare and Nicolas Colibert. According to Thieme-Becker, the former was a specialist in colour engraving. Monsiau (1754-1837), a painter of both classical and modern subjects, was praised by Baron Portalis for his "bonhomie, observation of nature, and feeling." All of these qualities are in evidence in Galatee. Rebacked, otherwise fine. Cohen-De Ricci 400. Thieme-Becker VI, 244. Portalis II, 415. Sander 698. Lewine 188. Brunet II, 1307.
