1777115583Paris: Nyon and Stoupe 1777. The invention of ball bearings making possible one of the great engineering feats of the 18th century First edition of this account of this remarkable feat the first practical use of ball bearings in engineering. Charged with designing the bronze equestrian statue of the Russian emperor Peter the Great that remains a celebrated landmark of St Petersburg the French sculptor Etienne Falconet decided that the traditional pedestal for equestrian statues would be too mundane. Only a massive rock would suffice. Eventually an enormous piece of granite was located in a marsh near the Gulf of Finland. The Thunder Stone as it was dubbed was estimated to be 40 feet long 25 feet side and 21 feet tall and weighed some 1800 tons: about 1300 tons more than any of the obelisks moved by the ancient Egyptians or Romans. Most engineers declared its removal impossible but Catherine the Great turned to Carburi a Greek of dubious moral reputation who had banished himself from his native island of Cephalonia and had come to Russia where he found favour with the empress. To move the giant rock Carburi devised a gigantic sled moving on a system of rails and six-inch bronze ball bearings. Although ball bearings had been shown in earlier sketches by both Leonardo da Vinci and Agostino Ramelli Carburi's feat was the first practical demonstration of their use. It predated the first modern recorded patent on ball bearings that awarded to Philip Vaughan a British inventor and ironmaster who created a design for a ball bearing in Carmarthen in 1794 by more than two decades. The project invited comparison to the moving of the Vatican obelisk by Fontana in the 16th century which Carburi here argues must have been easier because it was a shorter distance.

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.

Exemplify'd in One Hundred and Three Copper Plates Done by the Celebrated Monsieur Daret Engraver to the Late French King. With an Explanation of each Plate : Written Originally in French by Monsieur De Gromberville for the Use of the Said Prince. Translated into English by T.M. Gibbs late of Hart-Hall Oxon. A scarce and imposing first English edition of Gombervilles celebrated moral emblem book translated by T. M. Gibbs and illustrated with 103 copper-engraved plates by Pierre Daret.

With engraved frontispiece additional engraved title title vignette engraved initials headpieces and numerous full-page plates. A highly decorative and intellectually ambitious book equally appealing for its emblematic programme engraved work and sheer shelf presence. By Marin Le Roy de Gomberville Author Bio: Marin le Roy sieur de Gomberville 16001674 was a French novelist moralist and man of letters. His La Doctrine des Moeurs first appeared in seventeenth-century France and became one of the best-known emblematic moral works of its kind admired for the union of philosophical instruction and richly engraved illustration. Illustrated By: Pierre Daret Illustrator Bio: Pierre Daret was a French engraver and portrait painter whose work is closely associated with important seventeenth-century illustrated books. His plates for Gombervilles moral emblem text are central to the books enduring appeal. Synopsis: Work / historical context: Gombervilles Doctrine of Morality belongs to the great tradition of the emblem book in which moral and philosophical teaching is conveyed through images as much as through text. Drawing on Stoic thought and courtly didactic literature it presents human conduct vice virtue prudence ambition and self-command through a long sequence of engraved moral exempla. The 1721 English edition is an especially handsome survival of that tradition: a large folio translation by T. M. Gibbs illustrated after Pierre Daret and designed to impress as much visually as intellectually. Part moral manual part emblem book part engraved anthology of conduct and reflection it remains one of the most attractive English-language embodiments of early modern ethical literature.

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.

Primera edición de este famoso opúsculo tocante al derecho natural y de gentes. El derecho natural es el que se aplica a todos los animales incluido el hombre en lo que tiene de animalidad; el derecho de gentes es el que se ejerce sobre los hombres en tanto que racionales. JoaquÃn MarÃn y Mendoza 1727-1782 fue abogado de los Reales Consejos académico de la Historia y alcalde del Crimen. La obra de JoaquÃn MarÃn interesa sobre todo como "exponente de una situación que predominaba en los cÃrculos dirigentes y en las capas cultas de la España del siglo XVIII con respecto al derecho natural racionalista" Manuel GarcÃa Pelayo. Una vez creada la nueva disciplina de Derecho Natural y de Gentes en los Reales Estudios de San Isidro de Madrid con el objeto de demostrar la unión necesaria de religión moral y polÃtica MarÃn quiso ofrecer un epÃtome de su origen y progreso de los autores y sus doctrinas y de sus sistemas y métodos principales presentando una "guÃa segura" a los que buscaban conocer los primeros elementos de esta ciencia. Con claridad y sencillez acertó a difundir esta ciencia nueva europea forjada en los siglos xvii y xviii en la lÃnea divulgativa de la época emprendida por Vattel Burlamaqui o Almici. Buen ejemplar.

Engraved by Marin. <br> "The second largest Caribbean island known to the Spanish as Hispaniola or Espanola and to the French as Saint Domingue was first explored by Christopher Columbus in 1492 and became the center of Spanish rule in the 16th century. While the Spanish settlements were concentrated on the eastern two thirds of the island buccaneers occupied the western third during the 17th century. Consequently in 1697 Spain ceded the western third to France. Although the French name is applied to the entire island on this 1725 map by the noted French geographer Guillaume Delisle the Spanish presence on the eastern part of the island is acknowledged with the designation "Quartiers des Espagnols" while the French area is labeled "Quartiers du Nord " and "Quartiers du Sud." Delisle's rendition of the island is based on a 1722 map prepared by the French engineer Amedee Frezier." <br> "DeLisle is important as the first "scientific" cartographer who incorporated the most current information on exploration and topography into his maps. . Lloyd Brown states that DeLisle "undertook a complete reform of a system of geography that had been in force since the second century and by the time he was twenty five he had very nearly accomplished his purpose." - David Rumsey Historical Map Collection. <br> Refs: Tooley Mapping of America 59.
