‎The Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau‎

‎n.p. Edinburgh: Privately Printed by Oliver and Boyd 1904. Hardcover. Near fine. Hedouin Edmond. Two volumes complete large octavo size 735 total pp. Jean-Jacques Rousseau's 1712-1778 philosophy heavily influenced his contemporaries and helped to usher in the Age of Enlightenment which subsequently influenced "the development of modern political economic and educational thought" n.b. quote from Wiki. <br /> <br /> This work published posthumously was in many ways the first of its kind: very few autobiographies had been published up to this point and those had a clearly religious focus Augustine's "Confesssions" and St. Teresa's "Life". While scholars debate the exact veracity of many points in Rousseau's "Confessions" they are notable for being "one of the first autobiographies in which an individual wrote of his own life mainly in terms of his worldly experiences and personal feelings" ibid. <br /> <br /> Although first published much earlier than 1904 this work claims to be the first "unexpurgated" version; given that topics such as romantic relationships Rousseau had and the disposition of children born to him out of wedlock we are not surprised they were issued as a privately printed work. <br /> <br /> With thirteen reproductions of "a series of etchings" by Pierre Edmond Alexandre Hédouin 1820-1889 whose works are found in many of the world's major art galleries including the National Gallery of Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. <br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: Both volumes bound in half red leather over marbled paper boards gilt lettering and rules on the spines matching endpapers a different frontis portrait of Rousseau in each volume title pages in red and black with six etchings in Volume I and seven in Volume II all with original tissue guards; large octavo size 9 7/16" by 6" pagination: Vol. I i-vii viii-xix 3 1-281 and Vol. II i-vii viii-xv 3 1-414. <br /> <br /> ___CONDITION: Volumes near fine overall with clean boards straight corners with minimal rubbing a strong square text blocks with solid hinges the interiors clean and bright all illustrations present as called for note that the signatures in Vol. II are mostly unopened and hence unread the set free of prior owner markings other than a small label with the number "33" in Vol. II at the fore-edge corner of the front pastedown likely a private library label; some light rubbing at the spines corners and bottom edges the red colour on the spines somewhat uneven and light dustiness to the top edges of the text block; still overall a near fine set. <br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: Please note that due to weight additional postage may apply; please inquire for details. <br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

‎Louis Victor. Engravings by Sellier Barabe Berthault Poulleau and Michelinot‎

‎Salle de Spectacle de Bordeaux‎

‎Parias: Chez Esprit. Printer: L'Imprimerie Calleau 1782. First Edition. Half Calf. Paper pastedown on boards. The paper pastedown in done in a tree calf pattern that from a short distance is very convincing and gives the volume a full calf appearance. Near Fine. A stunning work that celebrates a late Ancien Regime architectural masterpiece one that still stands and is among the glories of Bordeaux and one of the most beautiful of theatres built anywhere. Elephantine Folio 64.5 by 49 cm. Title leaf dedication leaf 10 2 22 numbered engraved illustrated plates. 23 engraved plates in all including the Dedication. The Dedication page features a large and impressive copper engraving -- a cartouche in its way but without the ornamental border that characterizes the form -- of two eagles and several allegorical props such as a sword and scroll. This illustration takes up more than a third of the page and actually nearly overlaps the writing. After the text written in a large font the engravings include a large and rather ornamental city map that zooms into the local area surrounding the site of the theatre. Nine of the engravings are "blue prints of the floor plans for the theatre -- these also are quite lovely with details such as the ceiling frescos rendered in minute detail. Four plates give the exterior elevations of the building. Four plates render the interior as cut-aways as if sliced open. Next come two plates showing the theatre as one might experience it during the night of a performance with people milling about etc. The final plate shows a simplified bird's eye view floor plan of fourteen other prominent theatres of the day with the Bordeaux theatre serving as the centerpiece vignette. Almost all of these theatres used a horseshoe seating arrangement that was followed in the Bordeaux theatre. The Grand Théâtre of Bordeaux is a neo-Classical building with a front of Corinthian columns a disciplined symmetry carried out and notwithstanding plenty of ornamental touches a simplicity and restraint that sets it apart from the Rococo that had previously held sway in public buildings. The building was completed in 1780 two years prior to this magisterial work about its design. It was under construction for almost seven years prior to that under a commission from the then Duke of Richelieu who was the Governor of Guyenne from the same family as Cardinal Richelieu who served under Louis XIII during the prior century. The architect Victor Louis who also is the credited author of this work went on to design the gardens and galleries surrounding the Palais Royal and the whole building itself of Théâtre Français in Paris the home of the Comédie-Française. Later architects too were inspired by the Louis building most notably perhaps is the emulation of the grand staircase in the design of the Palais Garnier in Paris which opened nearly a century after the Bordeaux theatre. The latter incorporated elements Louis first worked out in the Bordeaux theatre. The Bordeaux theatre is the home of the Opera National and Ballet National of Bordeaux. Condition: Foxing mostly light and mostly confined to the margins where there is also darker age toning than elsewhere on the leaves. The foxing is a bit more intrusive on the text leaves. No where though is either issue -- the age toning or the foxing at a disconcerting level in our view. The calf has some light rubbing along the joints as do the edges of the volume from shelfwear and moderate use. A few scratches and stains on the faux calf of the boards again something not bothersome and might even enhance the illusion of another material. Chez Esprit. Printer: L'Imprimerie Calleau unknown‎
