173913984Amsterdam: Renard 1739. Copper-engraved sea chart with full orginal colour in very good condition. A highly decorative sea chart of the English Channel by the master-engraver Renard.<br/> <br/> The marine atlases of 17th and 18th century Holland were best sellers. The nation that led the world in overseas commerce also led in the arts of engraving and cartography. Plus there was a large audience of mariners and mariners' parents who needed to study the obscure straits and recently discovered island groups their sons were seeing. Louis Renard 1678-1746 was from a Huguenot family. He moved from France to the Netherlands and became a book dealer and publisher in Amsterdam in 1703. Louis Renard first published Atlas de la Navigation et du Commerce qui se fait dans toutes les parties du monde in 1715. It was re-issued unchanged by the Ottens in 1739. The charts were printed from plates made by Frederick de Wit in 1675 Orbis Maritimus ofte Zee Atlas. These were corrected by Renard using primarily van Keulen.<br/> <br/> Koeman Atlantes Neerlandici Ren 1. Renard unknown

Second edition; 2 volumes bound in 1 folio 41.5 x 26.5 cm; 100 hand-coloured engraved plates of which 1 is folding title printed in red and black engraved dedication leaf divisional title printed 19th century bookplate of Dr. Henry Petit later pencilled notes identifying species short closed tear to plate 22 not affecting the image some spotting primarily to the front matter and index but plates overall clean; later paste-paper boards in red blue and yellow marbled paper backstrip in tree-calf pattern manuscript title to spine some wear hinges and spine professionally conserved a very good copy housed in a custom marbled slipcase with chemise.<br /> The first colour plate book on ichthyology among the rarest and most beautiful of all works of this type. One of only approximately 35 remaining copies of the second edition.<br /><br />The first edition of Poissons Ecrevisses et Crabes was produced by Amsterdam publisher Louis Renard in 1718 or 1719. This edition and the two that followed it 'each contain 100 color plates bearing a total of 460 brilliantly colored copper engravings representing 415 fishes 42 crustaceans two stick-insects a dugong and a mermaid. With one exception all of the illustrations represent tropical species of the East Indies said to have been drawn from nature on the island of Ambon in the South Moluccas by an artist named Samuel Fallours in the employ of the Dutch East India Company. The original drawings were obtained by Renard from various individuals who brought them to Holland in 1708 and 1715'. A recent survey by biologist and historian of science Theodore Pietsch determined that of the one hundred copies printed only sixteen are still know to exist Pietsch 'Louis Renard and his Poissons' in Ichthyology in Context 2023.<br /><br />The second edition is 'only slight more accessible' than the first'. 'It seems that the publishing firm of Ottens took the 30 or 36 unbound copies purchased from Renard's estate had the plates colored replaced the old undated title page of Renard and added a "Preface" provided by Vosmaer and the 'Declaration sur cet Ouvrage' of Renard. These then together with some 70 additional copies newly printed from the original coppers save for the new title page and "Preface" constitute the second edition' of which around 35 copies still exist Pietsch.<br /><br />While the illustrations have been criticised in the past for their 'dazzling' colour and embellishments they are in fact based on real specimens and were considered a valuable source of information by naturalists including Georges Cuvier who in 1828 described them as 'still indispensable'. 'Indeed fully 91% of the 460 organisms depicted in the book have been identified at least to the taxonomic level of family' Pietsch.<br /> Amsterdam, Reinier & Josué Ottens, 1754. hardcover
1754ABC_46313Amsterdam: Reinier & Josua Ottens 1754. Contemporary calf richly-gold tooled spine and bords green morocco spine label with title in gold decorated edges marbled endpapers. Preserved in a professionally made black cloth box with a black morocco spine label with the author title and imprint in gold. Folio. Title-page in red and black a divisional-title for each volume and 100 engraved plates numbered 1-43 & I-LVII no. LVII folding vividly hand-coloured as published showing 460 fishes and other marine animals. 2 volumes bound as 1. Renard's famous but rare work noted for the spectacular imagery of colourful but also bizarre tropical fishes crabs and lobsters from the Indo-Pacific being the first colour-plated fish book here in its rare second edition. The book contains 100 plates with 460 originally and extraordinary hand-coloured copper engravings divided over two volumes with their own half-title 'Histoire naturelle des plus rare curiositez de la mer des Indes' of 415 fishes 41 crustaceans two stick insects a dugong and even a mermaid all living in the Indian Ocean between the East Indies. Sometimes the descriptions specifically refer to fishes of some islands in the East Indies as Ambon the Moluccas or Buton but they also contain references to the "fishes of the Antilles Brazil" Sabin and Mauritius. The illustrations in the first volume seems to be quite realistic in contrast to those in the second volume which are sometimes quite surreal which is even more emphasized by the short anecdotical and highly entertaining descriptions.The Amsterdam publisher and bookseller Louis Renard compiled this collection of ichtyological illustrations by copying the sets of drawings which were brought to Amsterdam by Frederik Julius Coyett the son of the governor and ambassador of Ambon and Banda Balthasar Coyett. The drawings in the first part were copied after the collection of Balthasar Coyett. The illustrations in the second part were copied by Samuel Fallours a soldier in the service of the Dutch East India Company who started drawing marine life in the East Indies for the governors after those in the collection of Andriaen van der Stel governor of the Moluccas.The book shows marine life in the East Indies and the Indo-Pacific when Europe knew very little on this subject there. Because of the brilliant colours fantastic shapes and the described habits of its subjects the work however was often dismissed in its own time as fantasy. Nevertheless Renard's Poissons ecrevisses et crabes is nowadays still one of the rarest and most magnificent ichtyological works being the first colour-plated fish book and a highly interesting scientific effort to represent the Indo-Pacific maritime life mixed with flights of fantasy.Spine and joints professionally restored preliminaries a little foxed some minor browning especially in volume 1 but overall in good condition with brightly coloured plates. One of 35 known copies of a rare ichthyological work.l Landwehr Coloured plates 159; Nissen ZBI 3361; Nissen Schone Fischbucher 103; Sabin 69600; cf.
