‎JOMBERT Charles-Antoine - Roger de PILES :‎
‎élémens de Peinture Pratique. Par M. De Piles, de l'Académie Royale de Peinture & Sculpture. Nouvelle édition entièrement refondue, & augmentée considérablement par Charles-Antoine Jombert.‎

‎ Amsterdam & Léipsick, chez Arkstée & Merkus, et se vend à Paris chez Charles-Antoine Jombert, Libraire du Roi pour l'Artillerie & le Génie, à l'Image Notre-Dame, 1766, in-8°, 17 x 9,5 cm, xx pp + 484 pp + 5 folding plates, (two parts in one volume, with continuous pagination). Bound in contemporary mottled calf, raised gilt spine with title label, red coloured edges, marbled endpapers. The first edition of this study by Roger de Piles (1635 - 1709 ) appeared in 1684. This 1766 edition, reworked by Jombert , was published when the complete works of Roger de Piles appeared in Amsterdam in 1766 ( 5 vols.). This is however a completely separated work. Apparently very rare. Fine and very well preserved copy. No provenance indication. ..‎
