177710110London: F. Vivares in great Newport Street 1777. Colour-printed mixed method engraving. Printed on laid paper. In excellent condition with the exception of being trimmed within the platemark. Small tear in lower left corner and another small tear on bottom margin. Image size: 10 9/16 x 8 1/4 inches. A lovely impression of this famous print by Louis-Marin Bonnet one of the most celebrated masters of French colour-printing.<br/> <br/>The son of a Parisian stocking manufacturer Louis-Marin Bonnet 1736-1793 trained with the engravers Louis-Claude LeGrand and Jean-Charles François the latter the inventor of the chalk-manner technique of printmaking. Throughout his career Bonnet developed Francois's printing technique producing some of the most beautiful prints of the period. Bonnet's chalk-manner prints became immensely popular with collectors seeking images that imitated the subtle effects of drawing but he also experimented with various forms of colour printing as seen in this charming print of a young lady playing the guitar. During the late 1770s and 1780s Bonnet's success as a color printmaker was unrivaled and hence he counted among his patrons the wealthiest Parisian collectors of the time. This spectacular print exemplifies the single plate colour printing technique developed in England but quickly adopted by French engravers. The effect is achieved by inking a single plate with several different colours by using a rag stump this process is known as a la poupée. These English colour prints became very popular in Paris and threatened to affect the market for French prints. In an effort to capitalize on this vogue for English prints a few clever French engravers printed their own colour prints with London addresses. This charming image is just such a print; Bonnet published it with F. Vivares's address in London although it was probably published in Paris. He also uses a different variation on his name and lists himself as L. Marin instead of Louis-Marin Bonnet. This is not only an exquisite image from one of the most renowned French engravers but a fascinating glimpse at the practices of the print market in France.<br/> <br/>Le Blanc Manuel de L'Amateur D'Estampes No. 386.

His paintings use mixted media that inlcude adobe dust from bricks marble and graphite and express anthropological themes. Catálogo de bolsillo y de excelente factura realizado con motivo de la exposición de la obra del artista en el Museo de Bellas Artes en julio de 2008. La publicación en formato de bolsillo y de bella factura incluye fotografías de algunas obras de Hugo Marín por Mario Vivado y un encendido prólogo de Alejandro Jodorowsky viejo amigo del artista. Sobresale la agudeza y estilo del ensayo de Carrasco que ahonda primero en la obra y luego en la biografía de Hugo Marín presentándonos el trabajo más completo hasta ahora sobre el artista haciendo una notable introducción al rico mundo que nos fascina y nos inquieta de esas esculturas de cuero o barro de sus "cabezas" de esa ancestralidad siempre nueva y transfigurada. Para Hugo Marín el arte es un medio de autoconocimiento que posibilita la creación y el poder organizador de la naturaleza. Tanto en la pintura como en la escultura se expresa a través de imágenes relacionadas a elementos míticos y ancestrales que se conservan en todas las culturas a través de la memoria colectiva. Mezcla lo primitivo y ritual de culturas ya extinguidas. Recurre tanto a mitos y símbolos de antiguas religiones como la tibetana o el Tantra de la India como a la iconografía de los pueblos precolombinos y el arte rupestre. Para sus pinturas utiliza la técnica mixta en la que incluye adobe y paja el polvo de ladrillo mármol y grafito. Son obras en las que ejecución y temática reflejan claramente su interés por los temas antropológicos. Ocho Libros unknown books

178330521Paris: printed by François-Ambroise Didot l'ainé published by Alexandre Jombert jeune 1783. Large quarto. 11 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches. Half-title title with wood-engraved vignette letterpress dedication with engraved armorial headpiece printed in colours. 11 engraved plates 10 folding printed in colours "en manière de pastel" by Louis-Marin Bonnet "premier Graveur en ce genre" each plate hinged to the upper margin of the relevant caption leaf as issued. Contemporary tree calf covers bordered in gilt flat spine divided in compartments with gilt roll tools red morocco lettering piece in the second the others with a repeat decoration in gilt marbled endpapers<br/> <br/>The first edition of a work of great importance to the history of the development of colour printing.<br/> <br/>One of the most successful eighteenth century experiments in colour-printing this is the only book illustrated by Bonnet the inventor of pastel manner engraving or "gravure en maniere de pastel." The crayon manner technique for reproducing chalk drawings in three-colour prints had been invented by J.C. François in 1757 and Bonnet was his pupil. Bonnet extended the technique to suggest tone and printed additional colours calling his new method the pastel manner. This technically demanding process allowed Bonnet to produce colour prints of the highest quality and paved the way for the great French illustrated works of the late-18th and early-19th century. The text is the work of the French military engineer Charles-Louis de Fossé and divides naturally into two sections. The first dealing with the strategies to be employed when attacking or defending a small military outpost manned by between 30 and 300 men; the second dealing with the correct use of colour when drawing military maps and plans and touching on perspective drawing as applied to military plans. This second part is illustrated using Bonnet's plates. Apart from the colour printing another unusual feature of this beautifully produced work is that the plates are all attached along the upper margin of the descriptive associated caption leaves: this allows for individual plans to be folded out whilst the relevant text in the body of the book is studied.<br/> <br/>Brunet II1354; cf.

1683001262Paris: A. Soubron 1683. Full Calf. Very Good. 14 412 pp. 100 emblem plates all full page. 12mo. 6 by 4 inches. Decorative devices head and foot pieces throughout in the form of bouquets friezes vases baskets as well as decorated letter at the beginning of each section 100 in all. Plates are wonderful baroque woodcuts each illustrating a moral. This would appear to be a second or third edition the first being in 1646. Brunet II 1658 who describes the work as "now a bit rare" mentions a 1684 edition without citing this earlier one and clearly meaning a different edition. Graesse III 114 mentions a 1681 edition without detail and thus this might essentially be. Tight. With some light scattered soilage but overall impression is clean other than on some of the plates a prior owner wrote Latin translations of the maxims beneath the printed captions -- never affecting the pictorial image. Also old handwritten cursive notes on title and blank verso. Attractively rebound in full modern calf with green and red spine labels. <br/><br/> A. Soubron unknown books

18195367Mexico: Alejandro Valdes 1819/20. First editions. Small quarto pp. x 201 9: x 55. Medina 11897 & Palau 111216 Guridi was an important Mexican ecclesiastic and one of the two deputies sent by Mexico to the Cadiz Cortes of 1810. Both of these books printed separately but bound here together are replies to the "attack" made on the credibility of the apparition of the Virgin Mary to Juan Diego in 1531by the Spanish historian Munoz in 1817. Mexicans everywhere felt aggrieved by this effort by a Spaniard to demean their beloved national cult. Guridi leapt to the defense reprinting Munoz' pamphlet in toto and then refuting it point by point. Gomez Medina 11486 the other author also presents a defense of the Apparition. See Brading Mexican Phoenix for a complete discussion of these works. The Guridi book according to Medina has a frontis. portrait of the Virgin by de Oca which is not present in this copy.
