The Pleasures of Solitude

1777réf. 10110London: F. Vivares in great Newport Street 1777. Colour-printed mixed method engraving. Printed on laid paper. In excellent condition with the exception of being trimmed within the platemark. Small tear in lower left corner and another small tear on bottom margin. Image size: 10 9/16 x 8 1/4 inches. A lovely impression of this famous print by Louis-Marin Bonnet one of the most celebrated masters of French colour-printing. The son of a Parisian stocking manufacturer Louis-Marin Bonnet 1736-1793 trained with the engravers Louis-Claude LeGrand and Jean-Charles François the latter the inventor of the chalk-manner technique of printmaking. Throughout his career Bonnet developed Francois's printing technique producing some of the most beautiful prints of the period. Bonnet's chalk-manner prints became immensely popular with collectors seeking images that imitated the subtle effects of drawing but he also experimented with various forms of colour printing as seen in this charming print of a young lady playing the guitar. During the late 1770s and 1780s Bonnet's success as a color printmaker was unrivaled and hence he counted among his patrons the wealthiest Parisian collectors of the time. This spectacular print exemplifies the single plate colour printing technique developed in England but quickly adopted by French engravers. The effect is achieved by inking a single plate with several different colours by using a rag stump this process is known as a la poupée. These English colour prints became very popular in Paris and threatened to affect the market for French prints. In an effort to capitalize on this vogue for English prints a few clever French engravers printed their own colour prints with London addresses. This charming image is just such a print; Bonnet published it with F. Vivares's address in London although it was probably published in Paris. He also uses a different variation on his name and lists himself as L. Marin instead of Louis-Marin Bonnet. This is not only an exquisite image from one of the most renowned French engravers but a fascinating glimpse at the practices of the print market in France.

M. Gibbs late of Hart-Hall Oxford.A substantial and visually striking first English edition of Marin Le Roy de Gomberville's celebrated moral emblem book: a remarkable union of Stoic philosophy allegorical art and early-modern moral instruction presented in parallel French and English and illustrated with an extensive suite of copper engravings.First published in Paris in 1646 as La Doctrine des murs the work was conceived as a visual education in virtue for the young Louis XIV. Gomberville's moral discourses accompany a sequence of emblematic scenes concerned with prudence ambition fortune self-command vice virtue mortality and the proper conduct of human life. The visual programme ultimately derives substantially from Otto van Veen's celebrated Quinti Horatii Flacci Emblemata of 1607 reworked and expanded through the publishing and engraving enterprise of Pierre Daret.This imposing 1721 London edition brought the work to an English readership through the translation of Thomas Manington Gibbs. In two parts bound as one folio it retains the spectacular emblematic apparatus: an engraved frontispiece additional engraved title to each part title vignette engraved portrait of Gomberville decorative initials and headpieces and 103 engraved illustrations including the portrait. The text is printed in parallel French and English.An especially attractive feature of the present copy is an early manuscript ownership inscription IOHN SEALE. 172 written within the otherwise blank cartouche of the first engraved title. A possible association with John Seale 17051777 later of Mount Boone Dartmouth remains under investigation and is not asserted here as established provenance.PROVENANCEEarly ink ownership inscription IOHN SEALE. 172 to the cartouche of the first engraved title.A possible identification with John Seale 17051777 later of Mount Boone Dartmouth is currently under investigation.
