72391Paris Briasson 1768. Single sheet. Folio 39.8 x 25.6 cm. Engraved plate with printed caption; finely hand-coloured; frame gilted. = A very rare contemporarily coloured plate published in the atlas of the first - folio - edition of the famous great Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences des arts et des métiers a massive work edited and partly written by Diderot d'Alembert and Voltaire being the first true encyclopaedia epitomizing the age of Enlightenment. Published between 1751 to 1772 it synthesized the knowledge of the time. It became not only a source of knowledge but also a political weapon on the battleground for power between secular and ecclesiastical thinkers and writers. The plate was drawn by François Nicolás Martinet and engraved by Robert Bénard. Its dimensions indicate that this plate comes from a large-paper copy which according to Brunet ".sont assez rares". Brunet does not record coloured copies. Plates with modern colouring are not unheard of but this is altogether different - not only is the colouring very well done but the printed border is carefully gilted too often yellow in modern colouring. The animals figured are two primates "le jocko" that is: a chimpanzee but obviously not actually seen by Martinet himself and "le gibbon" which is a gibbon indeed. The engraving is by Prévost after an original drawing by Martinet. Pinpoint holes in the left margin and a thin red line on the other three edges indicate that this plate comes from a once bound copy. Some toning - stronger in the margins otherwise a very good copy. Brunet 2 pp. 700-701; Nissen ZBI 4622; PMM 200. unknown

177259266France 1772. First edition. Disbound. This listing consists of several groupings of pages containing plates and descriptions of those plates which were removed from the first edition of Diderot's Encyclopedia. Pages measure 39 x 27 cm which are still bound together in signatures. Plates are either full page or two page plates. Description of each signature follows: <br /> <br /> Potier D'etain Tin consisting of a description of 9 plates of which 8 our present. Plate I is missing of this group. Bound with this: Potier D'etain Bimblotier consisting of a description of 6 plates all of which are present. <br /> <br /> Next grouping: Following this are 4 plates with no description page with titles like "Travail du Bas au Metier".

These are the plates with descriptions no binding and they are not a complete set. The original Encyclopédie was published in 17 volumes with 11 volumes of plates published by 1772. Later printings did not include plates to cut down the costs and allow a wider audience to read the work. This was the first encyclopedia to describe the mechanical arts and also the first to include contributions from many important named contributors. These include such famous enlightenment figures as Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. unknown
