Best.-Nr. 5709Nogent-sur-Oise and Paris France. Ca. 1861-1864. Oblong 4to 11" x 16" original pebbled burgundy morocco raised Gothic Revival strapwork with applied brass ornaments and two brass clasps at fore edge title stamped in black at upper cover a.e.g. 20 original watercolors 6" x 9.25" to 6.5" x 9.75" 3 tinted lithographs 5.875" x 5.625"; 4" x 5.75"; 7.25" x 5.25" all plus margins. CONDITION: Very good light wear to cover extremities. A lovely and historically valuable "estate portrait" album of original watercolor views by painter and lithographer Isidore-Laurent Deroy depicting the grounds of the Parc de Nogent and its residence noted for its incorporation of the façade of a 16th century château rescued from demolition at the eleventh hour in 1833. Constructed in the 1500s as an expansion and modernization of a fortification dating back to the Roman invasion the Château de Sarcus boasted twenty-two arches in total. It was designed by Martin Chambiges who worked in the high Gothic style and is known for the façades of several cathedrals. In 1833 its owner elected to demolish it and-so the story goes-Armand-Gustave Houbigant the mayor of Nogent-sur-Oise and the son of a famous early perfumer rushed nearly fifty miles to save it arriving in time to prevent the last three arches as well as several other architectural elements from being destroyed. Houbigant integrated the arched façade into his residence and as a historian wrote an account of what he had rescued. The Gothic façade appears in two of Deroy's watercolors and is the subject of all three of the lithographs one of which is captioned in the lower margin: "Trois des arcades du château de Sarcus Transportées et relevées par Mr. Houbigant à Nogent les Vierges Oise et formant un des façades de son habitation." After the second world war the Houbigant residence was vandalized and the façade was moved to the nearby parc Hébert à Nogent. Deroy's charming watercolors painted over the course of several years provide a comprehensive record of the Parc's many picturesque views and are almost always populated by figures-presumably meant to represent members of Houbigant's household-strolling with parasols along paths or across meadows boating on gentle waterways resting on the steps of a castle ruin playing with children or enjoying the view together often accompanied by their dog. In addition to the many lush and finely detailed landscapes Deroy's views show the Houbigant residence the Church at Nogent-sur-Oise exterior and interior and two other buildings as well as the distant town from within an octagonal or hexagonal porch with stained glass Gothic arches. In the captioned lithograph two male figures standing before the arched façade-one holding an open sketch book-likely represent Houbigant and Deroy themselves who were evidently artistic collaborators and friends. Armand-Gustave Houbigant who did not follow his father into the perfume business was a historian and visual artist. After inheriting his fortune he established himself at Nogent-sur-Oise in 1812. He is best known for designing a new set of playing cards in 1816 but he also produced numerous watercolors and views several of which Deroy lithographed and at least one of which "Lescar. Ruines du Château des Évêques de Béarn" 1854 Deroy actually retouched-"but only a little" according to an ink note on the painting: "he only touched the trees." Isidore-Laurent Deroy 1797-1886 was a painter draftsman and lithographer from Paris. He studied painting under Louis-François Cassas and architectural drawing under an artist cited in several sources simply as "Félix." His lithographs were exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1827 to 1866 and he received third class medals for lithography in 1836 and 1861. Some sources suggest he traveled to North America but this seems to be based on various lithographs of American views to his credit after August Kollner Köllner and others. All of these were produced by French lithographic firms-Gouptil and Vibert in the case of Kollner's "Views of American Cities"-but were often published by New York London and sometimes Berlin firms as well. From 1860 into the 1880s Deroy appears in the Paris trade directory Bottins as an "artiste-lithographe." A splendid collection of watercolor views of an impressive French country house and its grounds. REFERENCES: Houbigant A.-G.

Best.-Nr. 06709Paris: Ch. Motte 1831. A Deluxe India-Paper Copy with Hand-Colored Plates Heightened in Gum Arabic Preserving All Three Original Pictorial Wrappers DEROY Isidore-Laurent. Les Rives de la Seine. Trente-six dessins lithographiés par M. Deroy. Publiés en trois livraisons par Ch. Motte éditeur. Paris: Ch. Motte 1831. First edition. Oblong folio 10 7/8 x 14 inches; 277 x 350 mm. Hand-colored lithographic vignette title-page engraved map and thirty-six hand-colored lithographic plates each printed on India paper and mounted all bearing the small oval embossed publisher's stamp in the lower blank margin "Lith. à Paris / C. Motte / and London." The coloring throughout heightened with gum arabic. Complete with all three original hand-colored pictorial wrappers and the original plain end wrappers bound in. The first pictorial wrapper with an early nineteenth-century ink ownership signature. Early-to-mid twentieth-century three-quarter red cloth over marbled boards spine with green morocco label lettered in gilt fore and lower edges uncut. Art Nouveau bookplate dated 1910 on front paste-down. A remarkably fresh and attractive copy. One of the most beautiful lithographic tours of the Seine produced during the great flowering of French Romantic lithography. Issued in three separately published livraisons by Charles Motte the work comprises thirty-six views drawn by Isidore-Laurent Deroy among the most accomplished architectural and landscape lithographers of the Restoration period. The plates follow the course of the Seine through Paris and the surrounding countryside combining topographical precision with the picturesque sensibility that made French lithography one of the defining artistic achievements of the early nineteenth century. The present copy appears to represent a deluxe issue of exceptional rarity. The plates are printed on India paper mounted embossed with Motte's oval publisher's stamp fully hand-colored and further heightened with gum arabic to produce an effect closely resembling contemporary watercolor drawings. Such copies are seldom encountered. The distinguished Bobins collection did not contain a colored example the standard bibliographical references do not appear to specifically record a colored issue and we have been unable to trace a comparable hand-colored copy at auction. The survival of all three original pictorial wrappers is equally noteworthy. Because the work was issued in separate parts the wrappers were ordinarily discarded when copies were bound. Their preservation here together with the original plain end wrappers provides an unusually complete record of the publication's original form. The early ownership signature on the first wrapper and the finely designed Art Nouveau bibliophile's bookplate dated 1910 further contribute to the volume's appealing provenance. A superb copy of one of the finest Romantic lithographic books devoted to the Seine preserved in a form that is almost certainly far rarer than the ordinary issue and among the most desirable examples likely to survive.
