A remarkable and most attractive sammelband of eight French Dutch and Belgian art auction catalogues. All of them are rare. I. Jean Omer Joly de Fleury 1700-55 a member of a prominent and wealthy family was an important collector of prints drawings books scientific instruments and natural history objects. We learn from Gabriel Martin’s preface that due to the collector’s sudden death the prints and drawings would be sold “as found” in portefeuilles and the large collection of specimens again would be sold “as found” in the drawers. Nevertheless the collection is quite well catalogued and we can gather an excellent idea of the contents. Dezallier d’Argenville described Joly’s collection in 1755 calling it “famous.” He illustrates some of the specimens. II. A fine sale of 847 lots of prints and 19 lots of books with plates. Very rare; no copy in OCLC. III. 116 lots. OCLC locates only one copy at the BN. IV. A painter’s collection of art. 443 lots including paintings drawings prints and reliefs. Collin de Vermont 1693-1761 was “a pupil of Rigaud and Jouvenet. He studied in Rome and entered the Académie in 1725. In 1727 he was one of the artists to work on decorations for the Apollo Gallery in the Louvre.”–Benezit III p. 1244. OCLC locates only one copy at the BN. V. 300 lots of paintings by Rubens van Dyck Breughel Wouwermans and Teniers. Very rare; no copy in OCLC. VI. Benjamin da Costa a member of the prominent Anglo/Dutch Jewish family formed a small but important collection of paintings. 90 lots. Very rare; no copy in OCLC. VII. Adrien Maurice duc de Noailles 1678-1766 had a brilliant military career and served in the wars of Louis XV in Italy and Germany. He was appointed a marshal of the French Army in 1734. The duc de Noailles was also a fiscal advisor to Louis XV and unsuccessfully recommended financial prudence.
