Hubert-François Bourguignon commonly known as Gravelot 26 March 1699 20 April 1773 was a French engraver a famous book illustrator designer and drawing-master. Born in Paris he emigrated to London in 1732 where he quickly became a central figure in the introduction of the Rococo style in British design which was disseminated from London in this period through the media of book illustrations and engraved designs as well as by the examples of luxury goods in the "French taste" brought down from London to provincial towns and country houses.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .

Cohen-de Ricci 160-61; Ray 15; Furstenberg 26. A couple of boards with trivial chafing isolated faint foxing occasional minor marginal smudges touching text on a couple of pages but A VERY FINE SET clean and fresh internally with spacious margins and in sparkling bindings with virtually no signs of wear.<br/> <br/> This is an elegantly bound and unusually well-preserved copy of one of the most famous and charming illustrated books of the 18th century a work frequently regarded as the supreme example of refined libertine illustration of the period. Owen Holloway calls it one of the four masterpieces of book illustration at the end of the Rococo period. Ray too is expansive in his praise calling the work simply "one of the masterpieces of the illustrated book." The publisher first released this work in Italian in 1757 with the present edition following later the same year. Although he had as collaborators on this work some of the outstanding French artists of the 18th century Gravelot born Hubert-François-Bourguignon 1699-1773 was chiefly responsible for its production designing 89 of its 111 plates and all 97 of its immensely delightful tailpieces. In this the most ambitious undertaking of his career Gravelot gave Boccaccio's narrative the settings and costumes of 18th century France and this transposition Ray tells us "made it possible for him to exercise his special talent for depicting the social world around him. For the most part his figures are young the women graceful and pretty the men lithe and handsome." But "all levels of life are presented from the peasant in his hovel to the king in his palace. Every variety of interior is there from boudoirs and bedrooms to dining rooms and salons. Animated street scenes alternate with glimpses of gardens and farms forests and river banks. The human condition has rarely been so attractively displayed." Our copy is particularly pleasing: it is in fine condition with wide generous margins and was bound in rich indigo morocco by David. Parisian binder Bernard David 1824-95 worked under Pfister Dompierre Lortic and Gruel before striking out on his own to establish a very high reputation in the trade. His bindery was taken over by his son Salvador in 1890. Prault] unknown
