Some of the text-leaves of the last section of the second volumes are evenly browned, and a few of the last leaves are professionally repaired, otherwise only occasional brownspotting to a few leaves. Nicely printed on good paper. Richly and beautifully illustrated w. the engr. portrait of La Fontaine, engr. frontisp. in both volumes, engr. title-vignettes, engr. preliminary vignette-leaves, 77 full-page engr. plates and 63 engr. text-vignettes.

‎This rare and very beautiful Amsterdam edition is printed two years after the monumental first edition from Paris, which was commissioned by Ferniers Géneraux, and which is very scarce and sought after. This is the most beautiful and well-executed of the re-impressions (Paris, 1762 (-without vignettes), Amsterdam, 1764 and London, 1764). -""Celle d'Amsterdam, 1764, 2 vol. in-8. fig. copiées sur celles de l'édition de 1762, est assez belle..."" (Brunet III:760). The illustrations of this edition are excellent and copied from the beautiful first edition"" many of them are engraved and signed by C. Boily, and all are after Eisen. Most of the vignettes are after Choffard. The portrait of La Fontaine is engraved by Macret after Ficquet. ""Cette imitation de l'édition des fermiers généraux est assez jolie. Le portrait de La Fontaine est tantôt gravé par Savaret, et tantôt par Macret, suivant les exemplaires."" (Cohen, p. 310).The illustrations of this work are considered Eisen's main work, the book is considered one of the greatest works of rococo book-illustration, and it has greatly inspired later tradition in this field. ‎

‎Photograph of Rococo style furniture ‎

‎Paris NP C1880 Une belle photographie de trois meubles rococo. Numérotée à la main #385 N.D. Il n'y a pas d'indication sur ce que cela signifie, il pourrait s'agir d'une référence d'un vendeur de meubles ou d'une archive d'une photothèque. Nous pensons qu'il s'agit de la première hypothèse (il faut résister à la tentation de supposer que N.D. est sans date, car en français, il s'agirait de S.D.) La photographie présente quelques plis et marques légères. L'ensemble de meubles figurant sur l'image est de style Louis XV (rococo), caractérisé par des sculptures ornementales, des pieds cabriole et des motifs de coquilles, autant de caractéristiques des arts décoratifs français du milieu du XVIIIe siècle. 24cm x 29cm.‎

‎An attractive photograph of three pieces of Rococo furniture. Numbered by hand #385 N.D. There is no indication what this means, it could be a furniture seller's reference, or a photo library archive. We suspect the former (the temptation to assume that N.D. is no date should be resisted, as in French this would be S.D.) The photograph has some light creasing and marking to it. The furniture set in the image is in the French Louis XV (Rococo) style, characterized by its ornate carvings, cabriole legs, and shell motifs, all hallmarks of mid-18th-century French decorative arts. 24cm x 29cm. .‎
