FIRST EDITION. 608 x 445 mm. 24 x 17". xiv 56; 2 vi 28 pp. Two parts in one volume. <br/> Later early 20th century quarter sheep over marbled boards raised bands compartments gilt reddish-brown leather label with gilt lettering all edges untrimmed. With large woodcut vignette on title and 60 ENGRAVED PLATES by Le Bas Littret de Montigny Neufforge and Patte after Le Roy. Brunet III 103; Millard French 101. A little rubbing to corners and head and tail of spine leather a bit faded chafed and freckled in places but the binding entirely sound and still quite pleasing; very faint diagonal crease at lower corner of many leaves a handful of plates slightly browned one more noticeably so other minor issues but quite a fine copy internally--the vast majority of the contents clean and bright with deep impressions of the text with the engravings richly impressed and with vast margins.<br/> <br/> With engravings by the some of the most esteemed artists of the day this imposing work contains beautiful depictions of Greek ruins and monuments that proved extremely influential to the development of French Neoclassical architecture. The text is divided into two parts the first covering the history of various monuments and Le Roy's thoughts on the principles of architecture and the second primarily containing a discussion of the orders of columns--particularly the Doric order--as well as several reconstructions of ruined temples. According to Millard this work "breaks new ground in providing a synthesis of archaeological findings with a body of architectural theory developed and expanded from the important controversy of Claude Perrault and Francois Blondel i.e. quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns. . . . Perhaps most important Le Roy's treatise provides the theoretical framework and many of the actual models for French neoclassical architecture." Although "Les Ruines" came under some criticism especially by British rivals James Stuart and Nicholas Revett it nevertheless "made a strong public impact" in the words of the Dictionary of Art Historians and "greatly influenced the architects of the day particularly Jacques-Denis Antoine Jean-Arnaud Raymond Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart and François-Joseph Bélanger." This was in no small part due to the exquisite plates that included many picturesque views engraved by talented artists such as Louis-Joseph Le Lorrain Pierre-Charles Le Mettay Claude-Antoine Littret de Montigny and Jacques Philippe Le Bas among others. The son of the horologer to Louis XV Julien-David Le Roy 1724-1803 was an architect art historian and archaeologist. He was a protégé of Jacques-François Blondel 1705-74 whom he later succeeded as professor at the Académie Royale d'Architecture. After winning the Prix de Rome in 1754 Le Roy spent time in Greece studying and measuring ancient architecture and developing many of the theories that he would eventually publish in the present work.

1768ST17496-011London: Chez l'auteur 1768. First Edition in French. 590 x 380 mm. 23 1/4 x 15". 52 2 pp. <br/> Modern brown quarter morocco over green linen boards brown morocco label with gilt lettering on smooth spine edges untrimmed. WITH 25 FULL-PAGE ENGRAVED PLATES OF GRECIAN RUINS and seven smaller engraved plates in text including one on dedication page. A Large Paper Copy. Fowler p. 157; Millard British 41; Blackmer 1065; Brunet III 1329. Head of spine partly torn but with no loss contents with not infrequent light marginal soiling though plates uniformly clean other minor imperfections but an excellent copy with greatly generous margins with deep impressions of the type and with strong impressions of the plates.<br/> <br/> This work is the first significant account of the ancient city of Paestum being in the words of Blackmer "larger and much more complete than any of the previous publications." Located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of southern Italy Paestum or Poseidonia in Greek was founded by Greek colonists in the sixth century B.C. and still contains beautifully preserved ruins from that period including temples an amphitheater and painted tombs. Abandoned in the Medieval period Paestum wasn't rediscovered by the West until the 18th century with the first modern publication of the site not appearing until 1764 when a suite of plans by G. P. M. Dumont appeared with no text based on the observations of Jacques-Germain Soufflot. As Millard indicates the genesis of the present publication has an extremely complex history we do not even know with certainty who wrote the text but we do know that engraver Thomas Major 1729-99 whom DNB calls "the first great English landscape engraver" was responsible for preparing the plates. Because he had no first-hand knowledge of the site Major relied on images by other artists including Antonio Joli Gaetano Magri Robert Mylne and Jacques-Germain Soufflot. The text was first published in English and then in French the same year. According to Fowler "this work . . . was an important eighteenth-century pioneer contribution to the knowledge of Greek architecture in England"; and Millard tells us that "the book was surprisingly well received by reviewers" in both England and France remaining "the standard reference to Paestum until 'Les Ruines de Paestum ou Posidonia' by C.-M. Delagardette was issued in 1798.". Chez l'auteur unknown

First of a series of five works with similar titles exposing Gilpin to the satire of Combe's Dr. Syntax. In June of 1770 Gilpin embarked on his first picturesque tour. "Sailing down the Wye proved a very different trip from Gilpin's earlier tame journey down the Thames: the ruined castles and mountains of Wales were indeed exciting after the flat countryside of eastern and south-eastern England. . . . here was landscape that called for description that matched his conceptions of beauty and grandeur." Barbier According to Chilvers & Osborne Oxford Dictionary of Art Gilpin was "first to establish the picturesque as an aesthetic category and by his numerous writings illustrated by his own fine aquatints he exerted a profound and lasting influence on both English and European taste in natural and artificial scenery and landscape painting."

With 4 architectural drawings 3 double-page ca. 37 x 50 cm at a scale of about 1:60 and 1 loosely inserted full-page 24 x 35 cm at a scale of about 1:107 skillfully drawn in brown ink and several shades of grey watercolour. Two of the double-page drawings are elevations 1 partly in cross-section the other 2 drawings are floor plans each plan with a folding flap tipped on showing the plan of a higher level. The original designs for the alterations to the chapter library at Verona situated in the Church of St. Helena abutting the famous Cathedral of San Zeno the common wall appears in the drawings. The alteration was ordered by Scipione Maffei 1675-1755 and Jacopo Muselli and executed by the architect Lodovico Perini; it was finished in 1726. In 1713 Maffei a leading scholar poet and man of letters had made a remarkable discovery in the library: in its old cupboards he found late-classical and early Christian manuscripts from the 5th to 9th century stored there centuries earlier apparently to protect them against danger of flooding of the river Adige. On the basis of these old manuscripts and helped by the Canon Carlo Carinelli Maffei formulated a completely new and epoch-making theory regarding the development of the Latin script in three variants: the Roman majuscule the minuscule and the cursive hand showing an uninterrupted evolution from Roman Antiquity to the Renaissance. Maffei published the results of his studies in his Istoria diplomatica 1727 and Verona illustrata 1742. The rediscovery of these old manuscripts also resulted in a revival of Patristic studies and many new editions of the works of the Church Fathers.With some faint stains near the fore-edges an one edge of the loosely inserted drawing and a couple rust spots in the paper but still in very good condition. unknown

First edition of this very scarce and impressive treatise on 18th-century Austro-Hungarian architecture structural civil and mechanical engineering. Brust was the Royal Architect in Prague at the end of the 18th century and intended this treatise to aid architects and builders in Central Europe during the Napoleonic era. Reflecting the heavy influences of Baroque and Classicism styles at the time he has included numerous detailed plans and instructions on building trusses for roofs from the simple to incredibly large and elaborate. He has even included the spread sheet for materials and costs for constructing the truss and roof to a large public or private building plate 6. There are numerous different church steeples bell towers and even domes with detailed designs and instructions. In addition he has included instructions for building a large industrial wine press; well-drilling equipment; construction cranes for lifting trusses and stone; Japanese gardens; pile driving equipment; constructing bridge piers and timber bridges; the gates for locks in irrigation canals and transportation canals; and finally a detailed plate for water wheels and equipment -- 1 of which using an Archimedes screw. Of particular interest is plate 43 showing plans for the design and ornament of the roofs of Turkish mosques. Worldcat locates 5 copies; Engelmann Bibliotheca mechanico-technologica p. 55.

Spine sunned to a light olive shade one corner bumped one plate with a little browning along the fold occasional mild marginal foxing or trivial smudges but A FINE COPY--fresh bright and clean internally with deep impressions of the type rich impressions of the plates and generous margins in a binding with few signs of wear.<br/> <br/> This is an extremely appealing copy of one of the great architectural books of the 18th century described by Cicognara as a "magnificent and grandiose work." Scottish architect Robert Adam 1728-92 was a product of the Scottish Enlightenment and moved in intellectual circles that included historian William Robertson who wrote the introduction here David Hume and Adam Smith. His interest in architectural drawing was stimulated by books in his father's extensive library which DNB tells us contained "a working collection of illustrated architectural books in English French and Italian and a series of manuals on architectural draughtsmanship." This curiosity developed into a passion during his 1755-57 tour of Italy which "was in every way a period of intense professional training during which the skills learned in Scotland were tested and given an international gloss by the Roman circle in which he now moved." DNB At the center of this circle was French architect antiquarian and artist Charles-Louis Clérisseau 1721-1820 the leading authority on Roman antiquities and architecture who introduced Adams to among others the great Piranesi. With Clérisseau as guide and tutor he explored and sketched various sites before arriving at the un-surveyed fortress palace built by the former emperor Diocletian at Spalatro the modern-day Croatian city of Split. Adam undertook a survey of the building and drew the architectural plans and elevations for this work while Clérisseau sketched views of the ruins. Adam planned this book as a way of promoting his career as an architect and worked with Clérisseau to have engravings made for it. According to Thom "while the traditional plans elevations and sections--what Robert Adam called the 'Geometricals'--were generally supplied by English engravers like Rooker Patton and Walker the all-important picturesque views and perspectives which Adam thought were essential to convey the emotional impact of the remains of Diocletian's Palace were engraved in Italy mostly by Bartolozzi Paolo Santini and Zucchi." Adams also wrote the architectural commentary. The publication was a success praised by the "Critical Review" in October 1864 as possessing "a taste and execution that has never been equalled in England." As DNB observes "during these two Roman years Adam succeeded in transforming himself from a provincial and rather green Scottish architect into a cosmopolitan figure ready indeed to put into effect 'the Antique the Noble & Stupendous.'" Now based in London he embarked on a distinguished career specializing in country houses and townhomes that reflected the deep influence classical architecture and his Italian sojourn had on his work. Our copy was once owned by another artist Francis Donkin Bedford 1864-1954 who exhibited landscapes at the Royal Academy and illustrated books during the Golden Age of children's book illustration in the late 19th and early 20th century.

"After their return to London in 1755 Stuart worked on the first volume of Antiquities of Athens which was published in 1762. He wrote and revised the text had the illustrations engraved and designed a binding as well as painting views of Greece and Pola in gouache for exhibition. The first volume contained details of just five buildings in the northern part of Athens but more were promised in further volumes. The first volume had more than 500 subscribers. Few were architects or builders which limited the impact of the work as a design sourcebook. It was however well received by scholars antiquaries and gentleman amateurs. The presentation binding that Stuart designed for Antiquities of Athens had a Neo-Classical design and inspired architect Robert Adam to design similar presentation bindings for his work on the antiquities of Spalatro. Antiquities of Athens helped shape the European understanding of ancient Greece. It brought an entirely new design vocabulary to 18th-century European architecture and design and later became an essential sourcebook for the 19th-century Greek Revival - V&A exhibit on Stuart in 2007." Most of these engravings were engraved by James Basire who ten years later taught engraving to William Blake. I count 78 engravings including head and tail-pieces and two folding plates. A few plates were executed by Edward Rooker who was celebrated for his architectural plates. Printed By John Haberkorn for the Authors hardcover
