Spines slightly faded occasional scuff to extremities and covers a few minor marks to covers mild foxing to contents but overall quite clean a couple of small chips to text block never affecting text front hinge of vol. 3 just starting. A handsomely bound wide-margined set. First edition thus the superior quarto issue with the plates after two of the finest French illustrators of the period Marillier and Monsiau. This is a beautiful set bound by Charles Hering d. 1809 "the artistic successor to Roger Payne the doyen of English bookbinders" Judith Goldstein Marks "Bookbinding Practices of the Hering Family 1794-1844" British Library Journal 6 1980 p. 46. This copy is significantly larger than that noted by Ray which measured 238 x 155 mm and is of the preferred quarto issue which he notes offered "fine impressions of the plates on 'satined paper'" Ray 47 a technique akin to the "hot pressing" process of John Baskerville which gives a pleasing sheen to the page. "The pertinacity with which this vast project was brought to completion between 1789 and 1804 is remarkable. Despite the vicissitudes of these fifteen hectic years the twelve volumes were published in twenty-five numbers with their 300 plates 204 for the Old Testament and 96 for New distributed exactly as promised for Defer de Maisonneuve in a prospectus of 1790. His only departure was the introduction of Monsiau in the place of Marillier as the illustrator of the gospels. The first 132 plates issued in eleven numbers of twelve plates each had appeared by the end of 1792. Thereafter the volumes were published sporadically no doubt as the conditions of the time dictated. Indeed this is clearly a Revolutionary Bible. Marillier's fondness for voluptuous subjects which found vent not only in 'Incest of Lot's daughters' I 63 and 'Joseph's chastity' I 150 but also in scenes of his own invention like 'Fornication and idolatry of Israel' II 239 was confirmed by the taste of the day and it is not fanciful to see an increased emphasis on violence in the designs of 1793 and 1794. Marillier provided five-sixths of the plates for this immense undertaking and thereby joined the succession of outstanding biblical illustrators" ibid.
