Description

First and only edition of this excellent guide to 18th-century French prints: the "dessins", "gouaches", and "tableaux" alluded to in the title are the works upon which many of these prints are based, and are only discussed in passing. The book is in fact an alphabetical guide to French printmakers of the period, with extensive descriptions of their most important works, including states and prices realized between 1855 and 1892. This is one of 550 numbered copies on laid paper, from a total edition of 605. Large, thick 8vo, bound in quarter morocco and marbled boards. Top edge gilt. Light wear to extremities of binding. Internally fine and uncut.
