The Pleasures of Solitude

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. The son of a Parisian stocking manufacturer Louis-Marin Bonnet 1736-1793 trained with the engravers Louis-Claude LeGrand and Jean-Charles FranÃ§ois 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 poupÃ©e. 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.

178330521Paris: printed by FranÃ§ois-Ambroise Didot l'ainÃ© 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 maniÃ¨re 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 The first edition of a work of great importance to the history of the development of colour printing. 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. FranÃ§ois 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 FossÃ© 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.
