Quarter mottled sheep paste paper boards vellum corners slightly worn at spine. Light browning & foxing but a fine copy.</p> <p> First Edition. Garrison-Morton 4922. Pinel was one of the first to treat the insane humanely striking the chains from the lunatics at the Bicetre Hospital and implementing his "traitement moral" a compassionate form of psychiatric therapy that identified insanity with illness rather than moral perversity or demonic possession. In his Traite Pinel replaced the theorizing and speculation characteristic of earlier works on mental illness with his own practical observations of the Bicetre's mental patients whose behavior could now be observed undistorted by cruel treatment. He retained the old classifications of mental illness but distinguished mania from delirium and recognized the relationships between periodic mania melancholy and hypochondria. He recognized emotional disorders to be the main cause of intellectual dysfunction but also took into account heredity predisposition and hypersensitivity and attempted to find relationships between insanity and cranial deformity. Pinel founded the Salpetriere's famous school of psychiatry and trained a generation of psychiatrists the most important of whom was Esquirol. Norman 1701. Hunter & Macalpine pp. 602-10.

Engraved title-page followed by 17 numbered engraved plates. Antwerp: Galle 1586. BOUND WITH: Nimpharum oceanitidum ephydridum potamidum naiadum lynadumque icones in gratiam picturae studiosae ivventutis deliniatae scalptae et editae a Phillip. Gallaeo. Engraved title-page followed by 17 numbered engraved plates. Small 4to. 219 x 165 mm bound in contemporary Flemish vellum with title in manuscript on the spine. Preserved in a green half morocco folding box. Antwerp: Galle 1587. First Editions of both sets of prints designed and meticulously executed by Philipp Galle one of the foremost Flemish engravers of the day. These allegorical depictions of classical water deities and personifications of European waterways set male and then female figures among their appropriate geographical environment. The settings often include topographical or mythological iconography i.e. Nilus or the Nile shows a pyramid and obelisk in the background or Lerna with its Hydra in the distance however it is undoubtedly the figures themselves that are of most interest to the artist. They clearly show the influences of High Renaissance Italy with the musculature of the male figures evoking Michelangelo and the elongation of the female figures reminiscent of Parmigiano's Madonnas. Philippe Galle 1537-1612 ranks among his peers Johannes Stradanus 1523-1605 Martin de Vos 1532-1603 Adriaen Collaert 1560-1618 and Maarten van Heemskerck 1498-1574 as being known for introducing Italian art into the Northern Netherlands and influential on Dutch artists of the great period of pictorial art the Dutch Golden Age in the following century. Both sets of prints are rare. We locate a copy of both at the National Gallery a complete copy of just Semideorum marinorum at the Bibliotheque Nationale and a selection of odd plates at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and British Library. A very desirable copy bound in an un-restored contemporary vellum binding with nice impressions of the plates and wide margins. Some insignificant soiling or spotting. Brief early manuscript notes on the verso of seven plates. hardcover books

Contemporary French quarter mottled sheep over paste paper boards. Smooth spine ruled in gilt with gilt red morocco lettering label. Occasional very light spotting. Housed in a custom brown cloth clamshell. Overall a superb copy. ìPhilippe PinelÃs TraitÈ mÈdico-philosophique sur lÃaliÈnation mentale ou la manie which presented the textual foundation of psychiatry stands as the first great publication of the nineteenth century in clinical medicineî Grolier Medicine. ìIn October 1793 while serving as mÈdecin des infirmeries at BicÃtre Hospital Pinel 1745-1826 had the chains struck off from forty-nine male psychiatric patients in order to substitute for this cruel oppression his ëtraitement moraleà a humane form of psychiatric therapy that identified insanity with illness rather than moral perversity or demonic possession. This dramatic act performed in the liberating spirit of the American and French Revolutions found immediate and enduring favor in the popular imagination as a symbol of a new attitude toward the insane and ignited a general desire for more humane treatment of the mentally ill that culminated in the English non-restraint movement of the mid-nineteenth century. Yet humanitarian treatment of the insane although crucial to PinelÃs psychiatric work was not that workÃs sole focus for Pinel also devoted himself to establishing psychiatry as a scientifically based branch of medicine. His TraitÈ replaced the speculation and theorizing characteristic of earlier discussions of insanity with his own practical observations of the lunatics of the BicÃtre whose illnesses could now be observed undistorted by cruel treatment. He retained the old classifications of mental illness stating that contemporary medicine was as yet too primitive for more precise categories but did introduce some subdivisions isolating mania from delirium and recognizing the relationships between periodic mania melancholy and hypochondria. He recognized emotional disorders to be the main cause of intellectual dysfunction but also took into account heredity predisposition and hypersensitivity and attempted to find relationships between insanity and cranial deformityî Norman Library.

LINDER Philippe Jacques 1835 ? & REGNIER BETTANIER & MORLON lithographers
Train de Plaisir / Pleasure Train
Paris: Dusacq & Cie. Editeurs 1864. Hand-coloured lithograph after a painting by Linder. Very good condition apart from some mild rippling a small loss in the top margin and a few skillfully repaired tears in the bottom margin. A beautifully coloured humorous plate that was most likely part of a series published by Dusacq of images by various artists depicting railway related scenes.<br/> <br/>During the mid-nineteenth century the technological advancement and financial prosperity of France under Napoleon III hastened the development of the railway and other modern modes of transportation such as the omnibus. These improvements brought about a culture of mass tourism as members of various classes flocked to the railroad to take day trips. An archetypal symbol of modern life the railway station became a popular subject during the period and was represented and parodied by artists such as Honoré Daumier and William Powell Frith. It was an ideal place to observe a varied cross-section of society and the idiosyncrasies of human behavior. In the tradition of Daumier's satiric railway scenes from the 1840s and 1850s Linder exploits the comic possibilities of this bustling modern subject in this charming print. The title 'Pleasure Train' was most likely intended as an ironic play on words since pleasure is the last thing enjoyed by the swelling crowd of people on the platform many of whom scream in frustration as they are pushed and prodded in an effort to exit and enter the train. A pupil of the celebrated artist Charles Gleyre Philippe Jacques Linder was a genre and portrait painter who regularly exhibited works at the Salon between 1857-1880.<br/> <br/>Cf.

HECQUET Philippe 1661 1737.
De l'indecence aux hommes d'accoucher les femmes et de l'obligation aux femmes de nourrir leurs enfants. Pour montrer par des raisons de physique de morale & de medecine que les meres n'exposeraient ni leurs vies ni celles de leurs enfants en se passant ordinairement d'accoucheurs & de nourrices.
Paris:: Jacques Etienne 1708. 1708. Two works in one volume. 147 x 86 mm. 12mo. xviii 94; xiv 145 7 pp. Decorated initials headpieces; lightly water-stained. Contemporary full calf raised bands gilt spine brown leather spine label marbled end-leaves; rubbed head of spine lightly chipped. Early ms. inscription on half-title. Franco Crainz rubber stamp on title. Very good. FIRST EDITION. Title translates as: "ON THE INDECENCY OF MALE PHYSICIANS ATTENDING TO WOMEN IN CHILD-BIRTH." In this work the pious French physician and theologian Philippe Hecquet argued that it is immodest and indecent to have male accoucheurs deliver their children and that a woman had a "natural right" to have a female midwife deliver their baby. In the second part of this two-part work Hecquet argues that it is a woman's duty to nurse her infant. He documents the problems of producing milk for nursing and concerns about the health of the mother. Philippe Hecquet was "M.D. of Reins 1684 and physician to Port-Royal 1688-93. . . Hecquet . . . had to enter the Paris Faculty as a student in 1694 obtaining the license two years later and the 'bonnet de docteur' in 1697. He was made dean in 1712 and physician to the Charite in 1710." Bibliotheca Osleriana p. 262. See: Blake NLM p. 202; Hirsch III p. 105; Osler 2922 1744; Waller 4176 Paris 1744; Wellcome III p. 232.

HILL J. after Philippe Jacques LOUTHERBOURG
Ramsgate with a View of the new Light-House
London: Published by I. & W. Macgavin No. 107 New Bond Street 1808. Coloured aquatint. Printed on wove paper. In excellent condition with the exception of a small brown mark in the lower left corner of plate. Slight creasing through center of image. Image size: 13 1/2 x 20 inches. A pretty view of Ramsgate Pier from Philippe Loutherbourg's great work "Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain."<br/> <br/>This impressive aquatint is plate two of Phillip Jacques Loutherbourg's seminal work "Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain." This accomplished text is comprised of six large aquatint views engraved after Loutherbourg's acclaimed paintings. The work which was first engraved in 1801 by J. C. Stadler was later re-engraved in 1808 by J. Hill. Reminiscent of Rowlandson's superb paintings this image depicts the stormy docks of Ramsgate pier. While a group of hardy sailors converse at ease a party of three figures are battered by the fierce winds that beat the shoreline. The son of a court painter in Darmstadt the versatile artist Philippe Jacques Loutherbourg was born in Fulda Germany and was a pupil of J. H. Tischbein and Carle Vanloo and Francis Casanova the elder in Paris. His romantic landscapes battle scenes portraits and biblical subjects were highly esteemed and lauded by influential colleagues such as Diderot. He frequently exhibited at the Salon and became a venerated member of the Académie Royale in 1767. In 1771 he moved to England where he was employed as the principal scenery designer at London's Drury Lane Theatre. His creative and minutely detailed sets revolutionized the genre of scene painting and he soon began dabbling in costume design. Loutherbourg once again astounded contemporaries in 1782 with his pioneering invention of the "Eidophusikon" a novel variety of moving panorama that was accompanied by music. His substantial and varied oeuvre also included book illustrations and a series of aquatints of British scenery that was published in 1801 and 1805. Aside from a brief trip to Switzerland in 1782 he remained in London for the duration of his life and became heavily engrossed in mysticism.<br/> <br/>Abbey Scenery of Great Britain and Ireland in Aquatint and Lithography 1770-1860 no.6 plate 2.

TRIERE Philippe after Jean Demosthene DUGOURE
Le Lever de la mariée
1784. Engraving. Proof before letters. Printed on laid paper with watermark. In excellent condition with the exception of some very light foxing in the right margin. Image size: 15 x 11 7/8 inches. A fantastic proof before letters of this decorative Rococo print of a happy couple the morning after their wedding.<br/> <br/>Genre painting came back into favor when the Academy admitted Watteau's "The Pilgrimage to Cythera" to its ranks in 1717. From that point on a fashion for decorative subjects swept the country influencing an entire generation of French artists. This craze for intimate boudoir scenes did not subside until after the onset of the Revolution when the frivolous tastes of the aristocratic elite were dispelled and a more sober era descended upon French art. This print is a wonderful example of French Rococo tastes. The picture is set in a sumptuous bedroom the morning after a young aristocratic couple's wedding. The young bride sits on her father's lap while he speaks with his new son-in-law. Two chambermaids ready her toiletries while another closes the curtains on the marriage bed. This beautiful print is the pendant picture to Pierre Antoine Baudouin's "Le Coucher de la Mariee" which depicts the young newlyweds retiring to bed on their wedding night. Baudouin's painting was engraved by Moreau le jeune and finished by F. P. Simonet. Dugoure's frivolous scene is beautifully engraved by Triere creating a truly captivating image which epitomizes the grand era of French Rococo art.<br/> <br/>Nevill French Prints of the Eighteenth Century p. 135. unknown books

COMTE B after Philippe Jacques LOUTHERBOURG
Fishermen Returning to Brighton
London: Published by P. J. de Loutherbourg and Sold by V. & R. Green No 14 Percy Street Bedford Square 1797. Coloured aquatint. Printed on wove paper watermarked 1794. In excellent condition. Image size: 9 1/2 x 15 3/4 inches. A wonderful early separately published impression of Loutherbourg's celebrated image of fishermen on Brighton Beach.<br/> <br/>This delicate aquatint is an early separately published state of a print which was later included in Phillip Jacques Loutherbourg's seminal work "Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain." The print which was re-engraved in 1801 by J. C. Stadler was enlarged and re-titled "Brighthelmstone Fishermen Returning." This early example of Loutherbourg's work wonderfully shows his skill as an artist. The composition and arrangement of the image provides a fluidity to the picture that is truly compelling and demonstrates Loutherbourg's abilities as a draftsman. The son of a court painter in Darmstadt the versatile artist Philippe Jacques Loutherbourg was born in Fulda Germany and was a pupil of J. H. Tischbein and Carle Vanloo and Francis Casanova the elder in Paris. His romantic landscapes battle scenes portraits and biblical subjects were highly esteemed and lauded by influential colleagues such as Diderot.

Franklin Benjamin: Vanloo Charles Philippe
FRANCKLIN sic
Paris: Marie Francois Drouhin 1790. Handcolored oval mezzotint portrait 10 x 8 1/4 inches on a 12 1/2 x 9 1/4-inch sheet. Sheet lightly browned more so around the edges. Overall very good. Matted. An attractive mezzotint portrait of Benjamin Franklin with delicate contemporary coloring. The engraving was done after an original portrait by the famed French painter Charles Philippe Vanloo sometimes spelled Van Loo. The original portrait was done while Franklin resided in Paris in the years during and after the American Revolution and is now in the collection of the American Philosophical Society which was founded by Franklin. Sellers asserts that it is "beyond question a life portrait" done between 1777 and 1785. In Vanloo's original portrait Franklin wears a fur coat. In this print of the painting the fur coat has been replaced by a simpler cloth coat. Franklin wears glasses his hair is long and gray and he has a slight smile on his face. In the caption below the image his name is spelled "Francklin." "The substitution of a simple gray coat for the fur-trimmed costume of the original was undoubtedly in deference to revolutionary feeling" - Sellers. This print was engraved after Vanloo's portrait by the noted French engraver Pierre-Michel Alix who was known for his portraits of leading French citizens and prominent personalities. A handsome contemporary portrait of the American who dazzled France as a diplomat scientist philosopher and gentleman of society. SELLERS BENJAMIN FRANKLIN IN PORTRAITURE p.394.
