About This Item

Paris, Janet et Cotelle, 1823.

8vo of (2) ll., xxxiii pp., (1), 446, (1) bl.l., 1 figure out of pagination. Straight-grained red morocco, gilt, mosaic and blind-stamped pattern, large rectangular plate in the center, fillets and borders, flat spine richly decorated, gilt edges. Cloth case made for Major Abbey. Binding signed by Vogel.

Dimensions of the binding: 237 x 155 mm.

Elegant edition by Didot illustrated with a frontispiece engraved by Barthélémy Roger after Desenne.
Vicaire, Manuel de l'amateur, I, 1132; Brunet, II, 1735.

This copy was printed on large vellum paper from Annonay, with the engraving before the letters.

"Published at 6fr.50 on thin glazed paper from the Vosges; at 7fr.50 on thin glazed paper from Annonay; at 21fr. on large vellum satin paper from Annonay, engraving before the letters…" (Vicaire).

Exceptional romantic mosaic binding by Vogel, decorated with patterns deriving from the neogothic repertoire (rosettes, arches, leaves …).

This artist, of foreign origin, worked in Paris from 1814 to 1851 approximately; he supplied the imperial libraries and some bibliophiles with bindings.
His bindings offer a large variety of patterns, but "it's above all in the use of mosaic that Vogel shows great skill, technique and decorative invention" (Paul Culot, Relieurs et reliures décorées en France à l'époque romantique, 1995).
In 1833, "M. Vogel, binder, 40 years old […] was struck down by paraplegia with a total loss of sensibility", then partly cured thanks to the care of Théodore Junod, doctor of the Paris faculty.

This binding is remarkably delicate for its patterns and the brightness of its red, green and aubergine, which contrast with the multiple gilt patterns.

Provenance: Major John Roland Abbey (ex libris; Sotheby's London, III, 1967, n°1880).



Français
Paris, Janet et Cotelle, 1823.

In-8 de (2) ff., xxxiii pp., (1), 446, (1) f.bl., 1 figure hors texte. Maroquin rouge à grain long, décor doré, mosaïqué et estampé à froid, grande plaque rectangulaire au centre, encadrement de filets et roulettes, dos lisse richement orné, tranches dorées. Boite-étui en toile confectionnée pour le Major Abbey. Reliure signée de Vogel.

Dimensions de la reliure : 237 x 155 mm.

Élégante édition de Didot ornée d'une figure en frontispice, gravée par Barthélémy Roger d'après Desenne.
Vicaire, Manuel de l'amateur, I, 1132 ; Brunet, II, 1735.

Exemplaire en grand papier vélin d'Annonay, avec la gravure avant la lettre.

" Publié à 6fr.50 sur pap. fin des Vosges satiné ; à 7 fr.50 sur pap. fin d'Annonay satiné ; à 21 fr. sur grand pap. vélin d'Annonay satiné, fig. avant la lettre... " (Vicaire).

Exceptionnelle reliure à plaque romantique mosaïquée de Vogel, ornée de motifs dérivés du vocabulaire néo-gothique (rosaces, arcs, feuillages,...).

Cet artiste, d'origine étrangère, exerça à Paris de 1814 à 1851 environ ; il fournit des reliures aux bibliothèques impériales et à quelques bibliophiles.
Ses reliures offrent une grande variété de décors, mais " c'est surtout dans l'utilisation de la mosaïque que Vogel fait preuve de maîtrise, de technique et invention décorative " (Paul Culot, Relieurs et reliures décorées en France à l'époque romantique, 1995).
En 1833, " M. Vogel, relieur, âgé de 40 ans [...] fut frappé de paraplégie avec perte totale de la sensibilité ", puis en partie guéri grâce aux soins du docteur de la faculté de Paris, Théodore Junod.

Reliure remarquable par la délicatesse de ses décors et la luminosité des couleurs rouge, verte et aubergine, qui contrastent avec les multiples motifs dorés.

Provenance : Major John Roland Abbey (ex libris ; Sotheby's Londres, III, 1967, n°1880).
