Trages y costumbres de la provincia de Buenos AiresCesár Bacle, 1833-1835BACLE, Cesár Hipólito (1794-1838) and Adrienne Macaire (1796-1855). Trages y costumbres de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires: Litografia de Bacle, [1833-1835]. First edition of an attractive costume book, from the first lithography shop in Argentina. The Swiss-born Bacles arrived in Buenos Aires in November 1828. Lithographs had been produced in Buenos Aires as early as 1824, but Cesár and his wife quickly established what was the first artistically important and commercially successful lithographic establishment. This is his most important work, containing costumes, caractures, and scenes of street life. "Bacle sought to capture the aesthetic of an emerging fashionable class as well as to record the sentiment of daily life ... these acute observations of national character, dress, and manners brought a unique visual vocabulary to the printing arts of Argentina" (Root). It was published in six parts each containing six plates; a seventh part was announced but apparently never appeared (although there is a record of a copy containing 42 plates having sold at auction). The lithographs are after the work of the artists Hipólito Moulin, Arthur Onslow, and possibly Adrienne Bacle herself. Colas 2905 (only 30 plates); see Regina Root, Couture and Consensus: Fashion and Politics in Postcolonial Argentina (2010).Six parts bound in one, quarto (311 x 218mm). 36 lithographed plates with printed Spanish captions, most with captions translated into English in manuscript (some manuscript captions shaved, some light spots). Modern calf-backed boards to style, spine gilt (a little stained and worn). Provenance: Jonathan W. Ross, Baltimore, [18]52 (inscriptions).
