CHALON, John-James (1778-1854)

Twenty-Four Subjects exhibiting the Costume of Paris, the Incidents taken from Nature. Designed and drawn on stone by JJ. Chalon. London: Rodwell & Martin, C. Hullmandel's lithography, 1822.

A very fine, large-margined copy of this rare work, beautifully and fully coloured by hand with the four original engraved wrappers bound in at the end. The plates in this volume charmingly depict vendors of various commodities, including tisanes, coffee, fruit, brioches, flowers and tobacco. 'Jean-Jacques Chalon was a French artist born in Switzerland who eventually settled in England. His designs are by no means mere costume plates. Instead they are animated and faithful studies of Parisian manners and costumes in the years 1820 to 1822. There is hardly a touch of caricature, though the profiles of his personages have a family likeness which suggests a domesticated Girodet' (Ray). Abbey Travel 108; Bobins II, 514; Colas 588; Lipperheide Fd15; Rahir 262; Ray, French, 124.



Folio (408 x 312mm). 24 unnumbered lithographic plates, all fully coloured by a contemporary hand, each with address of editors and the date (1821-1822) on Whatman watermarked 1820, designed and drawn by J.J. Chalon, upper cover of the four original engraved wrappers bound in at the end (very rare marginal mark or spot, one wrapper a little spotted and stained). Later blue-black straight-grained morocco, covers gilt to a panel design corners to inner panel with gilt pointillé tooled fan design, spine with blind ruled raised bands gilt in compartments, edges and inner dentelles gilt, all edges gilt (inner hinges restored, perfectly rebacked to match). Provenance: Alfred N. Beadleston (1912-2000; American Republican Party politician who served as Speaker of the New Jersey General Assembly and President of the New Jersey Senate; bookplate).
