‎Paris: A. Quantin 1883. Fine. A. Quantin Paris 1883 22 x 31.50 cm une feuille Original etching before lettering heightened with aquatint and signed in the plate. Created on laid paper commissioned by publisher A. QUANTIN to illustrate La Fontaine's fable: ""Le paysan du Danube"". Very fine condition presented in a modern black mat and protected by a tissue guard. Auguste Delierre 1829-1891 is referenced as follows in the Bénézit dictionary of painters sculptors draftsmen and engravers: ""history painter genre scenes animated landscapes still lifes illustrator. Student of Eugène Ciceri he participated in the Paris Salon between 1852 and 1889. His compositions of landscapes animated with hunting dogs show the influence of works by Desportes and Oudry which he long copied. He also shows a predilection for still lifes. He also illustrated the Fables of La Fontaine."" Alain-Marie Bassy in his book ""Les Fables de La Fontaine quatre siècles d'illustration"" ""The Fables of La Fontaine four centuries of illustration"" analyzes his style for the representation of fables: ""S'il recherche le même angle de vue sur l'animal que Gustave Doré il écarte tout sens de l'effroi. L'oiseau blessé d'une flèche n'est plus un grand oiseau migrateur mais la caille délicieusement colorée des natures mortes. .Devant les animaux au milieu desquels nous vivons l'œil de Delierre est aussi froid que celui d'un entomologiste. L'art de la fable devient chez lui le plus bel exemple de naturalisme pictural."" ""If he seeks the same angle of view on the animal as Gustave Doré he eliminates all sense of terror. The bird wounded by an arrow is no longer a great migratory bird but the deliciously colored quail of still lifes. . Before the animals among which we live Delierre's eye is as cold as that of an entomologist. The art of the fable becomes in his work the finest example of pictorial naturalism."" A deluxe edition in two volumes: Fables de La Fontaine. Edition illustrée de 75 planches à l'eau-forte par A. Delierre Paris Quantin 1883 is catalogued at the Bibliothèque Nationale. The etchings of the fables are before lettering and enclosed in lovely Louis XVI frames."" A. Quantin unknown‎

Didot Paris 1803 40 x 54 cm une feuille Original unshaved full-page etching from the “Imperial edition” of the Description de l'Égypte or ‘Recueil des observations et recherches faites en Égypte pendant l'expédition française publié par les ordres de Sa Majesté l'Empereur Napoléon le Grand A Collection of the observations and research carried out in Egypt during the French expedition published on the orders of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon the Great'.Produced between February 1802 and 1830 on the orders of Naopleon Bonaparte and published between 1809 and 1828 1000 copies were printed and distributed to institutions on vergé paper with an 'Égypte ancienne et moderne' watermark visible when held up to the light. Light marginal spotting not touching image otherwise in very fresh fine condition. An engraving from the Description de l'Egypte one of the masterpieces of French printing and the birth of a new field: Egyptology. A gigantic survey of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests in 1798 and 1799 the work is divided into 13 volumes of engravings making up 892 plates of which 72 colored as well as presenting the splendors of the Egypt of the Pharaohs in 9 volumes. The other volumes discuss natural history and present a fascinating portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Eastern Armies. The ‘Egyptian campaign' militarily a disaster demonstrates through the engravings of the Description d'Egypte the scientific success it nonetheless became thanks to the 167 expert members of the Commission of the Sciences and Arts of the Institut d'Egypte Egyptian Institute who followed Napoleon's army. The Institut gathered together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects and doctors. They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants.This edition the so-called “Imperial” edition of the plates for the Description de l'Egypte was printed in four large formats two of which were specially created for it and christened “Moyen-Egypte” and “Grand-Egypte”. A special press was built to print it the process extending over 20 years from 1809 to 1829. The “Imperial” edition proved so popular that a second edition this time in black and white and without the “Egypte ancienne et moderne” watermark – known as the “Royal Edition” – was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke Paris.The engravings of the Description d'Egypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon illustrator diplomat collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon the Louvre. His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte.Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51 reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut d'Egypte the Natural History Museum's painter H.J. Redouté brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté author of Roses the mineralogist Dolomiue and the draughtsman Joly Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When however he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798 he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan. He said that he had crossed “a country that is apart from its name entirely unknown to Europeans and therefore everything was worth describing” Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant les campagnes de Bonaparte en 1798 e Didot unknown‎
