122517Paris 1771. Folio 253 x 393mm. 3 pages of descriptive text & 5 loose plates with their accompanying text sheet. Slight browning to margins a little spotting otherwise very good. § The 5 plates and descriptive text for the entry of Sculpture Fonte des Statues Équestres from volume VIII of plates. Plates are numbered 1-5. Plate 3 is continued on a second sheet Plate 4 is a double plate and plate 5 is a triple plate.1 page 822 from volume XIV of the Encyclopédie 1765 including Observations sur les chevaux des statues équestres2 pages 497 & 502 from volume XV of the Encyclopédie 1765 including information on Équestre StatueWith some browning to a few leaves.This suite of plates is noteworthy as a record of the practises of sculptors of this period. The illustrations and their explanations are influenced heavily by the writing and descriptions of Germain Boffrand. Boffrand had served as the first architect of numerous 18th-century noblemen and had been a witness to the casting of Louis XIV's statue by Giradon and Jean-Balthazar Keller. The statue was melted during the revolution and only a smaller model remains which can be found in the Musée du Louvre. On hearing of the troubles Lemoyne was having casting a similar statue of Louis XV Boffrand sought to assist Lemoyne recognising that he was the only remaining assistant who had taken notes at the earlier casting. Boffrand wrote his Description de ce qui a été Practiqué pour Fondre en Bronze d'un Seul Jet la Figure Équestre de Louis XIV enabling Lemoyne to complete his work although this statue was also later destroyed in the Revolution. Diderot's plates here presented are an almost exact copy of Boffrand's originals only shrunk and simplified to suit the Encylopédie's format.Included with these plates is the relevant entry for equestrian statues written by Jaucourt the 18th-century aristocrat who wrote around one quarter of the Encyclopédie voluntarily. unknown books

1771003772Paris 1771. First Edition. Buckram cloth folio folder. . Near Fine. Folio 38.5 by 25 cm with two double plates 50 cm wide and the triple plate 68 cm wide. The six plates show the steps in the casting of massive equestrian statues one of the staples of public monuments before the twentieth century. As the rule with the plates in the Diderot and d'Alembert Encylcopedie though the plates are handsome works of art transcending their pedagogic purpose and the images here have an element of the curious and novel that separates them from more traditional equestrian artwork. The plates and their two page textual description that precedes them were carefully removed from the larger volume and remain attached to each other like a thinner brochure. Other than occasional light and insignificant soiling and minor age toning the plates are clean and fresh. The folder made to house them is of a modern buckram cloth decidedly utilitarian in appearance but not unattractive with their multi-color ribbon ties. <br/><br/> hardcover books

1771410481771. DIDEROT. Tapestry-weaving in 3 parts: 7 pp. 45 plates of which 11 are double-page. From vol. 8. Folio bound in half terra-cotta morocco over salmon cloth boards gilt. Tapissier with a view of the Boutique and the many products available therein including curtains bedspreads upholstery and so forth. With two additional suites entitled Tapisserie de basse-lisse des Gobelins and Tapisserie de haute-lisse des Gobelins which illustrate the practice of the famous Gobelins tapestry factories. These tapestries were decorated with pictorial subjects; painted; embroidered; woven in colours gold and silver thread and so forth. Alan Summerly Cole distinguishes between the practices of Gobelins and Beauvais: "At the Gobelins the warp threads are stretched in frames standing vertically high warp or haute lisse: at Beauvais in frames placed horizontally with the ground low warp or basse lisse." This suite of plates and text derives from the great French eighteenth-century Encyclopédie edited by Denis Diderot and Jean Le Rond D'Alembert. The Diderot & D'Alembert Encyclopédie remains "A monument in the history of European thought; the acme of the age of reason; a prime motivating force in undermining the Ancien Régime and in heralding the French Revolution; a permanent source for all aspects of eighteenth-century civilization."

Shown in the first part are some of the most spectacular theaters and opera houses of the day including the Theatre de Turin the Comedie de Lyon the Theatre d"argentine in Rome and theaters in Montpellier Metz and Stuttgart. The second part is comprised of detailed drawings of the machinery that brought magic to the eighteenth century stage. The drawings are not merely depictions of equipment though but also include occasional renderings of the illusions. Generally very fresh condition. <br/><br/> Encyclopedie ou Dictionnaire raisonne des Sciences, des Arts et Metiers hardcover books
