The full series comprises 113 parts cahiers in 27 folio volumes along with three supplements and "provide detailed accounts of a wide range of handcraft and manufacturing processes carried out in France at that time. The volumes are well-illustrated with precise engravings by Jean Elie Bertrand 1737-1779 a noted typographer from Neuchâtel where the printing was done. Many of them provide the background for shorter articles in Diderot's Encyclopedia which was appearing at much the same time. The project had its origin in request from Colbert in 1675 to the Academy Royal des Sciences for detailed accounts of various mechanic arts to be prepared and for new machines to be reported upon. This led to the formation of the Bignon Commission under Abbé Bignon. René-Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur 1683-1757 became editor soon after he joined the Academy. He inherited number of drawings the earliest prepared in 1693 and an illustrated manuscript on printing type and book binding which had been prepared in 1704. It was left to Réaumur's successor Duhamel du Monceau to bring about the publication of the series probably as the result of the competition from the Encyclopedia."

The Academy was formed in 1635 at the request of Cardinal Richelieu "after the pattern of the Italian academies of the Renaissance. The Cardinal's purposes were to create something very serious a piece of governmental machinery to legislate for language as other bodies legislated on matters economic or judicial. In 1638 the work on the dictionary was begun. There was little practical organization of the task and hardly any efficiency. The result was an exasperating slowness which invited numerous lampoons. One wag suggested that the dictionary then being at the letter F he would be delighted to live until they reached G. There was one time papers were seized by creditors and the work was practically paralyzed. Finally in 1694 that is to say fifty-eight years after its inception the book was off the press and was presented to the king with ceremony. As was to be expected it was ultra-conservative and based essentially on the canons of Malherbe with even more restrictions on the admission of popular terms" Holmes & Schutz Hist. of the French Lang. pp. 86-87.

A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedown with evidence of bookplate removal the ex-libris of Brian Stilwell pasted over it. ◆Rear joint with thin crack corners somewhat rubbed a couple small abrasions but the binding solid and still lustrous. Internally A BEAUTIFUL COPY--EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN FRESH AND BRIGHT and with vast margins.<br/> <br/> This is an almost astonishingly well-preserved example of the press work that made Joaquin Ibarra the most renowned Spanish printer of all time and along with Baskerville Bodoni and Didot one of the great European printers of the 18th century. His large paper copies like the present item were especially beautiful printed on linen paper with margins that occupy a good deal more space than the text. Ibarra 1725-85 trained at the Pontifical and Royal Printing Press managed by his brother Manuel before moving to Madrid to establish his own workshop. He created a secret formula for ink that was famed for its quality and brilliance producing an especially dark crisp text on the paper. The effect was enhanced by the technique he developed for "satinizing" the paper to remove any traces of the printing plate. After Ibarra's death the firm was carried on by his widow and heirs until 1836 maintaining the high standards he had set. The text here reports on the transactions of the Royal Academy of Fine Art between July 1796 and July 1799 and the prizes distributed by the king to academicians in the fields of painting sculpture and architecture. Previous owner Brian Stilwell is an active collector of a range of material focusing on printing as an art from incunabula to private press books. A member of the Philobiblon Club he donated 500 limited editions of fine press books to Rutgers University. Viuda de [Widow of] Joaquín Ibarra unknown
