19530Paris: Saintin Et Mame. 1814. First edition published under this title second overall. First edition published under this title second overall. Four volumes. Sextodecimo 130 x 96mm. Publisher's original pink coated-paper boards with titles and volume numbers in gilt to the spines. Page edges untrimmed. Housed in a later pink handmade paper-covered card slipcase. Illustrated with 107 hand-coloured engraved plates including a frontispiece depicting visitors to the Menagerie to the first volume. A near fine set the bindings firm with light rubbing to the boards sunning to the spines and some wear to the extremities. The contents with a corner missing to the front free endpaper of volume two appears to be an original paper flaw and some occasional light foxing are otherwise in excellent order and clean throughout. The plates remain bright and fresh. A superb set. A most attractive embodiment of the early nineteenth-century endeavour to transform royal and imperial ménageries displays of power and authority into the first zoological gardens. This formative period for the modern zoo was partly linked to the ongoing development of scientific zoological study but was also as is so wonderfully demonstrated by the present set an attempt to educate and entertain the general population democratising a formally exclusive arena of knowledge and spectacle. This work was first published in 1812 under Napoleon's reign as Emperor and was thus titled "La Ménagerie Impériale". Following his abdication in 1814 and his succession by King Louis XVIII the publisher Saintin was prompted to reissue the same book with identical text and illustrations and in the same exact format but under the new title "La Ménagerie Royale". He even recycled the pages from the previous edition in the binding of this one as revealed by the somewhat see-through endpapers. A rare and entirely original set of a charming French popular natural history especially desirable with contemporary colouring. Not listed in Copac nor at the Bibliothèque nationale de France OCLC only lists three copies of the "Impériale" edition. Huzard 4010. Provenance: pencil ownership inscriptions of Euphémie and Esther Courtois to versos of front free endpapers one dated "38" possibly pointing to a contemporary family living near Guiscard in the Oise department north of Paris. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers. Paris: Saintin Et Mame. 1814 hardcover

The majority of these leaves come from the 18th and early 19th centuries but there are two incunabular leaves and 14 leaves from the 16th and 17th centuries. The two incunabular leaves both in fine condition are the "Ortus Sanitatis" Mainz Jacob Meydenbach 1491 and the same work printed by Johann Pruß in Strassburg ca. 1497-99. Works represented include Pliny Gessner's illustrations of fish and fowl Audubon's "Birds of America" and Meyer's "British Birds" among other notable titles. Felinophiles take note: whoever compiled the specimen leaves for the present copy included an inordinate number of illustrations of cats. There are a total of 13 leaves depicting cats both great and small including one print not called for in the list of contents. Weiss-Hesse Antiquariat unknown
