1806145411Paris: Barba 1806. A beautiful copy Scarce first edition of this essential culinary encyclopaedia the most popular work published by a professional cook in the 19th century. Viard a worthy competitor to Carême in terms of celebrity dedicated his book to the famed gourmand and restaurant reviewer Grimod de La Reynière praising Grimod and his fellow food enthusiasts for having elevated culinary discourse. "To judge from his practical knowledge Viard must have been a professional cook at one time thought to have been chef de cuisine to Louis Philippe comte de Ségur and Francis Egerton 8th Earl of Bridgewater but he described himself simply as an homme de bouche food expert probably someone in charge of catering for a large household. Despite his book's impressive title Viard declared he was writing for 'all levels of fortune' in this egalitarian society of citoyens and indeed the polished text includes such basics as pea soup quick-cooked rabbit and salt cod provençale. At a higher level he was the first cook to describe the classic puffy soufflé flavoured with chestnuts frangipane white coffee vanilla or potato still a novelty that became such a symbol of France. The book did well even when the restoration of the French monarchy required a hasty title change to Le cuisinier royale and the 'year of revolutions' in 1848 precipitated another change this time to Le cuisinier national. only to revert to impérial once more under Emperor Napoleon III. The text too underwent hundreds of additions first by Viard and later by colleagues allowing it to remain in print until 1875" Willan running to at least thirty-two editions. Food scholar Darra Goldstein notes that Le cuisinier impérial also contains the first published recipe for apple charlotte. Hector Dubois d'Enghien was a trade bookbinder son of the prominent Brussels binder Joseph-François Dubois d'Enghien 1841-1923. He took over his father's workshop c.1918 and partnered with Edmond Dooms a gilder from De Samblanx in 1923. An accomplished scholar Hector Dubois d'Enghien wrote a history of bookbinding in Belgium published in 1954. The first edition of Le cuisinier impérial is rare both institutionally and commercially.

José Xavier Veloso 1742-1811 born in what is now Minas Gerais Brazil was ordained in 1766 in the convent of St. Anthony in Rio de Janeiro where he studied philosophy and theology later geometry in San Paulo and finally natural history. He collected plants animals and minerals in the Rio de Janeiro area from 1783 to 1790 at which time he moved to Lisbon where he worked at the Royal Academy of Sciences while preparing Florae Fluminensis his greatest work for publication. Using the Linnaeus’ system of sexual classification of plants he prepared very highly detailed texts and 1700 prints many of them of new species. But the publication of the work was beset by problems. First sent to Venice the plates were never completed. Later the French invasion of the Iberian peninsular sent the Portuguese government then Veloso and his manuscripts into exile in Brazil where he died in 1811. In 1825 an abbreviated version of the text was published followed by the eleven volumes of the Icones in 1827 of which few copies survive.

Later he would make sketches of the Siege of Sevastopol at the height of the Crimean War of 1853-1856. In 1855 this earned him the title "Academician" conferred by the Imperial Academy. In 1860 the collection was compiled and an index of drawings prepared. The publication discontinued in 1862 due to the weakening condition of V.F. Timm's eyes.
