Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, 1796
GRASSET DE SAINT-SAUVEUR, Jacques (1757-1810). Encyclopédie des voyages, contenant l'abrégé historique des moeurs, usages, habitudes domestiques, religions, fêtes, supplices, funérailles, sciences, arts, et commerce de tous les peuples. Paris: chez l'auteur, 1796.

An attractive set of Sauveur's exhaustive catalogue of world costumes. The author was born in Montreal, but fled with his family to France during the Great Deportation and eventually served as a diplomat in Hungary and Cairo. He produced several collections of costume prints; this one is rare complete, with hundreds of plates by Labrousse after his original drawings. Volume 5 deals with the Americas, including the Pacific Islands. Colas 1292; Forbes I 264 (vol 5 only); Hiler, p.390; Lipperheide 41; Sabin 75487.

Four volumes bound in five, quarto (246 x 180mm). 432 hand-colored aquatint plates, including 4 allegorical frontispieces, on various paper stocks (some foxing, a few leaves with chips or tears in blank margin, hole in title of vol 1 part 2). Contemporary mottled calf gilt, edges marbled (a little wear).Jacques Grasset St. Saveur
