Copy richly illustrated with drawings by Jacques de Sève engraved by Robert de Launay Lucas Michel Madeleine-Thérèse Rousselet C. Baron Hubert Catherine Haussard Carl Gottlieb Guttenberg Jean-Guillaume Blanchon Menil Dufour Louis Claude Legrand Claude Mathieu Fessard Elisabeth Haussard François Hubert A.-B. Duhamel Mlle Mansard C. Baquoy Heinrich Guttenberg Laurent Guyot Benazeth Schmitz Marie-Anne Rousselet M. R. veuve Tardieu Louis-Gabriel Monnier Pierre-Étienne Moitte Jean-Louis de Lignon Levillain N. du Four Thomas Chambars Nicolas Thomas Luigi Valperga and George Louis Biosse. Accompanied by two additional plates heightened in color numbered XX and XXII from a volume 7 of the Histoire naturelle des oiseaux. The illustrator Jacques de Sève's main work was unquestionably the Histoire naturelle générale et particulière for which he executed nearly 2000 drawings. Unlike the illustrations he produced for other sections of Buffon's monumental work made primarily from stuffed specimens his work on birds was essentially executed from living models. To accomplish this vast project Jacques de Sève drew inspiration from the works of the king's ""Peintre ordinaire"" Jean-Baptiste Oudry. This judicious decision won him the favor of the queen a great admirer of the master of animal painting. By incorporating small Boucher-style putti in the introductory vignettes of certain volumes of the Histoire naturelle des oiseaux Sève also gained the good graces of the king's mistress. These illustrations at once decorative and scholarly which appear in the present first edition were not retained in the duodecimo edition. A superb complete copy of Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon's Histoire naturelle des oiseaux by the French Pliny. As Ferdinand Hoefer wrote this work maintains the same ""magnificence of style"" as the other publications in the Histoire naturelle générale et particulière. Imprimerie royale hardcover

1790WRCAM45754Paris: Marie Francois Drouhin 1790. Handcolored oval mezzotint portrait 10 x 8 1/4 inches on a 12 1/2 x 9 1/4-inch sheet. Sheet lightly browned more so around the edges. Overall very good. Matted. An attractive mezzotint portrait of Benjamin Franklin with delicate contemporary coloring. The engraving was done after an original portrait by the famed French painter Charles Philippe Vanloo sometimes spelled Van Loo. The original portrait was done while Franklin resided in Paris in the years during and after the American Revolution and is now in the collection of the American Philosophical Society which was founded by Franklin. Sellers asserts that it is "beyond question a life portrait" done between 1777 and 1785. In Vanloo's original portrait Franklin wears a fur coat. In this print of the painting the fur coat has been replaced by a simpler cloth coat. Franklin wears glasses his hair is long and gray and he has a slight smile on his face. In the caption below the image his name is spelled "Francklin." "The substitution of a simple gray coat for the fur-trimmed costume of the original was undoubtedly in deference to revolutionary feeling" - Sellers. This print was engraved after Vanloo's portrait by the noted French engraver Pierre-Michel Alix who was known for his portraits of leading French citizens and prominent personalities. A handsome contemporary portrait of the American who dazzled France as a diplomat scientist philosopher and gentleman of society. SELLERS BENJAMIN FRANKLIN IN PORTRAITURE p.394.

As a soldier Philippe Fortin de la Hoguette 1585-1668 fought in the French Wars of Religion and was present at the siege of La Rochelle in 1627. As a philosopher he wrote several works of Catholic fideism corresponded extensively with the Dupuy brothers and smuggled many of Francis Bacon's manuscripts out of England after his death in 1626.
