About This Item

Se vend. A Bruxelles, Chez Jean Leonard Fils, (Brussels): ., 1737 pp. (20), 576 + Engraved frontispiece. Title vignette. WITH 267 Engraved copperplate text illustrations skillfully executed mainly by Pieter Devel. Various decorative head and tail pieces throughout. Old binding with the leather mostly worn away BUT **Four engraved and chased decorative rococo Silver corner pieces, and a decorative silver closure strap and receiver remain. The survival of this silver 'furniture' is remarkable. Text has some age stain but this in not too distracting. Dedicated to Monseigneur le Dauphin, eldest son of Louis XIV (1661-1711). Louis de France, known as Le Grand Dauphin or Monseigneur, died before his father, Louis XIV, and so never inherited the throne. This Bible history is attributed to Nicolas Fontaine (1625-1709). Brunet IV, 1433. The detailed engraved illustrations made it one of the most popular biblical works of the 17th and 18th century. Many of them are in the style of Jan Luyken (1649-1712). This edition is scarce, especially in a silver enhanced binding. SAFE ADD 1. Hardcover.
