An important home industry in the eighteenth-century France was for some time at the forefront of the manufacture of artificial flowers. The first plate's charming studio scene depicts a small yet busy and lively workshop. Further plates show the patterns used and the tools employed the aim of the plates volumes being the provision of useful guides for learning and improving the craft. The final plate larger than the rest is an illustration of a marvellous table display a depiction of a formal garden. The suite and the accompanying article on Fleuriste are the work of Jacques-Raymond Lucotte whose contribution to the plates volumes is far more extensive than his work in the text volumes. He designed over 650 himself and wrote around forty-five of their commentaries. He was heavily influenced by the Descriptions des arts et métiers of the Paris Académie royale des sciences. Although his speciality was masonry and architecture his contribution on artificial flowers is characteristic of his attention to detail. unknown

Giant flea from the Encyclop�die ou Dictionnaire des sciences plate 85.
Paris Briasson David Le Breton 1768. Oblong folio 39.2 x 45.9 cm. Broadsheet plate with a fine large engraving with fine contemporary hand-colouring gilt border and printed caption. This is a highly unusual contemporarily coloured copy of an exceptionally large plate showing an extraordinarily small and peculiar animal. It was published in the atlas of the first folio edition of the famous Encyclop�die ou Dictionnaire raisonn� des sciences des arts et des m�tiers and is a highlight in the history of microscopy. The massive Encyclop�die was edited and partly written by Diderot d'Alembert and Voltaire being the first true encyclopaedia epitomizing the Age of Enlightenment. Published between 1751 to 1772 it synthesized the knowledge of the time. It became not only a source of knowledge but also a political weapon on the battleground for power between secular and ecclesiastical thinkers and writers. The plate was drawn by Fran�ois Nicol�s Martinet and engraved by Robert B�nard after the famous image of Robert Hooke's Micrographia from 1665. Its dimensions indicate that this plate comes from a large-paper copy which according to Brunet ".sont assez rares". Brunet does not record coloured copies. Plates with modern colouring are not unheard of but this is altogether different - not only is the colouring very well done but the printed border is carefully gilted too often yellow in modern colouring. A vertical fold as always; some weak marginal fraying a short tear in the left margin; a few minor marginal spots; otherwise clean. The colouring bold and accurate. A very good copy. Exceedingly rare. Brunet 2 pp. 700-701; Nissen ZBI 4622. unknown

Impressive cross-sections of shafts and images men at work in the processing halls and foundries make this one of the most visually compelling suites from Diderot’s Encyclopédie. However these are not only attractive depictions of eighteenth-century mining and Earth Sciences they are a comprehensive guide to the operation and construction of the machines and tools employed. Diderot and Goussier ‘the third Encyclopédist’ who together visited many factories and workshops around France and Europe meant the Encyclopédie as a textbook and as a way of propagating new ideas and methods. For instance one of the largest sections in this suite is devoted to the famous Pont-Péan lead mines in Brittany where innovative hydraulic machines had recently been installed. Further plates demonstrate the arts of underground surveying and geometry the renowned slate quarries of Anjoun and the refining of mercury copper gold tin zinc and cobalt. No other publication had devoted this amount of attention to the mechanical arts before and none did again until the mid-nineteenth-century. These images are of considerable significance now as one of few records of mining practices and the mining machines of the eighteenth-century particularly interesting because of their attention to detail and their useful cross-sections and disassemblies.To accompany the plates are many relevant text entries including the main articles for Mine Minéral Minéralogie Minéraux Métal and Métallurgie by Paul-Henri Thiry Baron d’Holbach a French-German philosophe and encyclopédist author of the renowned Système de la Nature ou Des Loix du Monde Physique et du Monde Moral 1780.D’Holbach contributed around four hundred articles to theEncyclopédie a number of which were translations of Germanphilosophical works.Another important paper is on Regne Minéral and is an abrigedversion of a work by Charles Le Roy a French physician and professor of medicine at Montpellier University.

Histoire naturelle Planche X. Le couguar le linx. Contemporary hand-coloured plate.
Paris Briasson 1768. Single sheet. Folio 39.8 x 25.4 cm. Engraved plate with printed caption; finely hand-coloured; frame gilted. A very rare contemporarily coloured plate published in the atlas of the first - folio - edition of the famous great Encyclop�die ou Dictionnaire raisonn� des sciences des arts et des m�tiers a massive work edited and partly written by Diderot d'Alembert and Voltaire being the first true encyclopaedia epitomizing the age of Enlightenment. Published between 1751 to 1772 it synthesized the knowledge of the time. It became not only a source of knowledge but also a political weapon on the battleground for power between secular and ecclesiastical thinkers and writers. The plate was drawn by Fran�ois Nicol�s Martinet and engraved by Robert B�nard. Its dimensions indicate that this plate comes from a large-paper copy which according to Brunet ".sont assez rares". Brunet does not record coloured copies. Plates with modern colouring are not unheard of but this is altogether different - not only is the colouring very well done but the printed border is carefully gilted too often yellow in modern colouring. The animals figured are the Eurasian and North American Lynx figure 2 top and the North American Cougar or Mountain Lion figure 1 bottom. The engraving is by Pr�vost after an original drawing by Martinet. Pinpoint holes in the left margin and a thin red line on the other three edges indicate that this plate comes from a once bound copy. Small chip in lower left corner a tiny smudge in the left margin otherwise a very good copy. Brunet 2 pp. 700-701; Nissen ZBI 4622; PMM 200. unknown

The engraving is by Pr�vost after an original drawing by Martinet. Pinpoint holes in the left margin and a thin red line on the other three edges indicate that this plate comes from a once bound copy. Some toning - stronger in the margins otherwise a very good copy.

Contributed by François-Nicolas Martinet 1731-1800 famous for his ornithological engravings these plates display many noted mammals reptiles and amphibians. Martinet was well regarded because of his ability to depict the creatures realistically and many of his subjects are now scarce or endangered. Perhaps his most famous illustrations were those for Mathurin Jacques Brisson's Ornithologia sive Synopsis Methodica 1760-63. These visually compelling plates show creatures of all sorts from elephants to capybara and apes sloths and monkeys to cabasssou armadillos surinam toads and chameleons. Martinet's illustrations are detailed and informative although in places are charmingly naïve. Several relevant text entries follow and these include Animal by Diderot and Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton a French naturalist of note. Futher articles were contributed by Pierre Tarin Paul Jacques Malouin and Baron de Haller. unknown

This vast suite of plates shows mines and earth works of an enormous size. Impressive cross-sections of shafts and images men at work in the processing halls and foundries make this one of the most visually compelling suites from Diderot's Encyclopédie. However these are not only attractive depictions of eighteenth-century mining and Earth Sciences they are a comprehensive guide to the operation and construction of the machines and tools employed. Diderot and Goussier 'the third Encyclopédist' who together visited many factories and workshops around France and Europe meant the Encyclopédie as a textbook and as a way of propagating new ideas and methods. For instance one of the largest sections in this suite is devoted to the famous Pont-Péan lead mines in Brittany where innovative hydraulic machines had recently been installed. Further plates demonstrate the arts of underground surveying and geometry the renowned slate quarries of Anjoun and the refining of mercury copper gold tin zinc and cobalt. No other publication had devoted this amount of attention to the mechanical arts before and none did again until the mid-nineteenth-century. These images are of considerable significance now as one of few records of mining practises and the mining machines of the eighteenth-century particularly interesting because of their attention to detail and their useful cross-sections and disassemblies. To accompany the plates are many relevant text entries including the main articles for Mine Minéral Minéralogie Minéraux Métal and Métallurgie by Paul-Henri Thiry Baron d'Holbach a French-German philosophe and encyclopédist author of the renowned Système de la Nature ou Des Loix du Monde Physique et du Monde Moral 1780. D'Holbach contributed around four hundred articles to the Encyclopédie a number of which were translations of German philosophical works. Another important paper is on Regne Minéral and is an abriged version of a work by Charles Le Roy a French physician and professor of medicine at Montpellier University. unknown

Olschki. cm. 15 x 21 xxxviii-92 pp. Immagini della Ragione Il Nipote di Rameau che pu essere considerato il capolavoro di Diderot sia dal punto di vista letterario che filosofico sottolinea il rilievo che esso ebbe tra i filosofi del 700 francese.

Le neveu de Rameau is probably Denis Diderots masterpiece both from literary and philosophical standpoints underscoring his prominence among the philosophers of Eighteenth Century France. Defined by Fredrich Schlegel the tale of the birth of irony in a situational frame that allowed Diderot to turn Enlightenment into a dialogue Jauss this charming composition on ethic politics and musicology presents the lumires intent in enlightening the dark side of human nature. 192 gr. xxxviii-92 p. . nuovo.
