Sobre este artículo
Paris: Chez l'Auteur, 1788. . Quarto, engraved title, engraved dedication, 24 engraved plates accompanied by engraved text, contemporary mottled calf gilt, neat repairs to joints.
Lovely example of this celebrated work, bound in full contemporary calf.
The plates are reductions of large plates engraved from drawings by Jesuit Attiret, on orders of the Emperor of China and the intervention of the East India Company. Cochin the French engraver was charged by M. de Marigny to oversea the work, and the plates were actually done by Aliamet, Choffard, Le Bas, Nee, Prevost and Saint-Aubin. Distribution was very strictly limited to China, and only one or two rare copies were found in Europe. It was after these sets that Helman made his fine engravings.
Cohen de Ricci 479; Lust 1987; Cordier 587-88.
