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."

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
