Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling and minor foxing. A beautiful plate with stunning early colour from Lacépède's "La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle" an important scholarly work and one of the finest examples of eighteenth-century French natural history illustration.<br/> <br/>A professor of zoology at the Museum of Natural History the French naturalist Bernard-Germain-Étienne Delaville Comte de Lacépède 1756-1825 was a versatile and precocious scholar who published a number of books on zoology physics and music. He was greatly influenced by the pioneering naturalist Georges Louis Marie Leclerc comte de Buffon whom he succeeded as Intendant at the Jardin du Roi which later became the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in 1793. During his tenure Lacépède completed a comprehensive study of amphibians and reptiles Historie Naturelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens which was published as a supplement to Buffon's magnum opus on animal classification Histoire Naturelle Générale et Particulière.

"The Italians discovered the effectiveness of the dexterous use of the point rather than the edge of the sword.

Most of the wrestling tricks used in earlier disciplines were abandoned the lunge was discovered and fencing became established as an art" Encyclopaedia Britannica. The present image marks the zenith of the use of the epee in Europe. "In the latter half of the 17th century the sword and swordsmanship changed dramatically with a change in gentleman's dress.

Will Napoleon ever recapture his true identity Who in the end is he now that 'the Emperor is dead' Simon Leys's truculent delightful fable poses these and other questions in a rare work of fiction that is continually surprising and effervescen" dust jacket.<br>Â Â Â Â Novel translated by Patricia Clancy and the author.

John Leech and the Victorian scene.
Suffolk England: Antique Collectors' Club 1984. 4to 28 cm 11". 265 3 pp.; col. illus. <br><br>For nearly twenty-five years in the middle of the 19th century one name seemed to capture the hearts and sympathies of the Victorians in the field of illustration and caricature; that name was John Leech 18171864. Leech's quick eye and rapid pencil brought the moving kaleidoscope of the Victorian age into sharp perspective delighting his contemporaries and providing us with a unique and unsurpassed glimpse of those exciting days . . . Simon Houfe's biography . . . is the first full length life of the artist to appear for over fifty years. In it he investigates Leech's background friendships technique and influences in the world of illustrations. Publisher's burgundy cloth with gilt lettering to spine and front board. In original red pictorial dust jacket; original price sticker on front flap. Highly enjoyable. Antique Collectors' Club hardcover books

Meriden CT: Timothy Press 1941. Oblong 8vo 20.6 cm 8.125". 13 3 pp.; 6 ff. of plts. illus. <br><br>. . . Simon Gribelin deserves recognition because of his skill and ingenuity . . . Such quality of workmanship such calligraphic and intricate but confidently assured design is quite wanting in art today. We have no designers trained in this tradition. Nor do we deserve them because we do not notice nor will we pay for such attention to detail. Yet it is only when we look into Gribelin's engravings with a magnifying glass that the real inner content of his work stands revealed: the play of light and shade the intricate interlacing of foliage and lines which indicate so cleverly a roundness of form and a perspective. It is almost impossible to believe that this was achieved mainly free hand by a young man working on a recalcitrant copper plate."<br>Â Â Â Â This is one of 310 unnumbered copies printed.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: From the library of American collector Albert A. Howard small booklabel "AHA" at rear. Black cloth shelfback pictorial papercovered sides white label printed in black and red on front board; rubbed. Foxing to endpapers. Very good.
