réf. 72391Paris Briasson 1768. Single sheet. Folio 39.8 x 25.6 cm. Engraved plate with printed caption; finely hand-coloured; frame gilted. = A very rare contemporarily coloured plate published in the atlas of the first - folio - edition of the famous great Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences des arts et des métiers a massive work edited and partly written by Diderot d'Alembert and Voltaire being the first true encyclopaedia epitomizing the age of Enlightenment. Published between 1751 to 1772 it synthesized the knowledge of the time. It became not only a source of knowledge but also a political weapon on the battleground for power between secular and ecclesiastical thinkers and writers. The plate was drawn by François Nicolás Martinet and engraved by Robert Bénard. Its dimensions indicate that this plate comes from a large-paper copy which according to Brunet ".sont assez rares". Brunet does not record coloured copies. Plates with modern colouring are not unheard of but this is altogether different - not only is the colouring very well done but the printed border is carefully gilted too often yellow in modern colouring. The animals figured are two primates "le jocko" that is: a chimpanzee but obviously not actually seen by Martinet himself and "le gibbon" which is a gibbon indeed. The engraving is by Prévost after an original drawing by Martinet. Pinpoint holes in the left margin and a thin red line on the other three edges indicate that this plate comes from a once bound copy. Some toning - stronger in the margins otherwise a very good copy.

réf. 63704Paris Diderot et d'Alembert 1768. Folio 43.2 x 27.2 cm. 4 pp. 130 plates partly folded. Disbound. = Part of the massive famous and notoriously complex Encyclopédie by Diderot and d'Alembert being the first true encyclopaedia. This is most if not all published on mining and mineralogy. The text pages contain a description of the plates subdivided in "Collections". In total the Regne minérale consists of seven "collections" with 47 plates which are all present. This includes 14 plates with fossils and 11 with crystals as well as three large folded plates of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1754 and 1757. Various other minéralogie sections not listed as "collections" follow this. These include for instance Géometrie souterraine one plate Sonde de terre three plates Instruments des mines two plates Coupe d'une mine three plates Mercure one plate and an explanatory text leaf Cobalt idem Souffre two plates and text etc. etc. Some of these sections dealing with specific minerals are quite large; for instance the one on Salpetre has four text pages and nine plates of which two are larger and folded. Another larger section deals with the Ardoiserie de la Meuse slate mining along the Meuse river with eight text pages and five plates a similar one with slate mining in the Anjou region and another large section on salt mining as well as one on fabricating gunpowder. In total there are 129 plates of which many are large and folded or double folded all with explanatory text leaves. Some soiling a few old paper repairs but in general a very good set.

réf. 51-1438Paris: Chez Briasson David & Le Breton 1762-1767. 395 x 255 mm. with 18 pages of letterpress descriptionsRustic economy. Rustic economy is the art of knowing the useful and profitable products of the countryside appropriating and conserving them and drawing the greatest possible advantage from them. This method of enriching oneself has unlimited scope: it is a tax imposed on all matter even on the elements. A simple exposition of the subjects embraced by the term ‘rustic economy’ would be a considerable undertaking. 1 These are the primary ones: whoever wishes to live in the countryside and profit from his stay there should know the arts of agriculture and gardening in the finest detail. He should be ignorant of nothing which pertains to the buildings he requires for himself and his family servants animals and various crops; hunting fishing and falconry; stud farms water and forests; rustic work and the manufacture of a variety of products such as stoneware pottery lime brick iron etc. Although a man who devotes himself entirely to such pursuits is scorned by the common man these activities are all in accordance with nature sound health the broadening of useful knowledge the elevation of the mind a simple life a taste for good things virtue the commonweal integrity and good sense. For those subjects which pertain to rustic economy consult sections of this dictionary and articles: Hunting Fishing Agriculture Pheasantry Falconry Gardening Soil cultivation etc. Paris: Chez Briasson, David & Le Breton, 1762-1767. unknown
