VERY RARE TITLE IN HALF LEATHER WITH VELLUM CORNERS

HUQUIER ~ Iconologies ou sont representés les Vertues, les Vices, les Sciences, les Arts, et les divinites de la Fable en 216. Estampes jnventeés et Graveés par Huquier.

Paris : Chez le dit Huquier, rue des Mathurins au coin de celle de Sorbonne, (1768)

Half calf, 10.25 inches tall, 6 inches deep (26cm x 21cm). A splendid example of a very rare book in a neat half calf with label and gilt pallets, speckled pink edges and vellum (recycled manuscript fragments) corners. The margins are exceptionally wide. The plates are lettered and numbered A1-12, B1-12 etc. to S1-12 , there is no J1-12) and in this example the last two leaves S11 and S12 are lacking, they do not appear to have ever been bound in, so we have 214 of 216 plates. Copac records only one copy in the UK (in the Royal Academy of Arts).

£3500
