1748rif. 5611Book Pedlars CAYLUS Anne Claude Philippe comte de. Memoires de l'Academie des Colporteurs. Paris l'Imprimerie ordinaire de l'Academie 1748.£1500 8vo engraved frontispiece pp. viii 319 with 8 unsigned engraved plates in the text one an engraved title title printed in red and black with attractive title vignette; contemporary full red morocco flat spine ruled lettered and dated directly to spine sides with triple gilt fillet a.e.g. from the collection of Andre Langlois and his red morocco book plate to front pastedown; a fine copy. First edition of this unusual and attractively illustrated work on Paris street pedlars hawkers and distributors of pamphlets and books allegedly published under the auspices of the Paris Guild of Booksellers and Printers. Caylus 1692-1765 was an amateur engraver antiquarian and writer from a well-off aristocratic family which allowed him to follow his lifelong interest in the arts and antiquities. He played a prominent role in the Société du Bout du Banc an informal group of writers and aristocrats who met at the home of the actress Quinault. They published a whole series of oeuvres badins licentious and playful stories mostly published under Caylus' name and in fact mostly written by him. This appears to be in the same vein a collection of histories and sketches relating to the exploits and experiences of book pedlars and hawkers. Each anecdote is illustrated with an appealing and competent engraving executed possibly by Caylus himself. The particularly attractive engraved title showing a billposter putting up a poster or placard with the title and partly obscuring it in the process is according to Cohen possibly by Ch. N. Cochin. The work is also interesting in that the section beginning on p. 188 Le Malebosse describes and illustrates a scheming poet i.e. Voltaire who is duped by a fake book pedlar. This is in fact one of the first anti-Voltaire caricatures Apgar. Cioranescu XVIII 16265; Cohen c 210; see Apgar Trois siècles d'iconographie voltairienne.
