BUFFON, Georges-Louis Leclerc, comte de (1707-1788)
[Bibliothèque française] Histoire naturelle de Buffon, mise dans un nouvel ordre... Paris : Ménard et Desenne, 1825.

Précieux exemplaire en maroquin bleu nuit à long grain aux armes de la duchesse de Berry. L'édition comprend 33 volumes, que l'on trouve rarement réunis. Le présent ensemble est composé de 17 volumes : les 7 premiers sont des discours académiques et les volumes 8 à 17 concernent les quadrupèdes (les volumes 18 à 36, non présents ici, sont consacrés aux oiseaux). Il figurait au numéro 64 de la vente de collection de la duchesse de Berry en 1831 au sein de l'ensemble "Bibliothèque française" : la notice précisait déjà que seuls 17 volumes de l'Histoire naturelle étaient présents. Nissen, ZBI, n° 687.

17 vol. in-18 (133 x 82 mm). Illustré d'un portrait de l'auteur gravé par Bertonnier en frontispice, avant la lettre, 7 planches gravées illustrant les discours académiques (5 au tome 3, 2 au tome 4) et 168 planches gravées illustrant les volumes sur les quadrupèdes (certaines planches reliées dans le désordre, 2 planches portant le n° 60 et pas de planche n° 64, la planche n° 33 devant être reliée au tome 9 a été reliée au début du tome 17 avec d'autres planches figurant des chauves-souris). Reliure de l'époque : maroquin bleu nuit à long grain aux armes de la duchesse de Berry, filet doré enserrant une roulette à froid en encadrement des plats, dos à faux nerfs orné de filets, roulettes et fleurons dorés, roulette intérieure dorée, tranches dorées, roulettes sur les coupes. (cahiers 27 et 28 inversés au tome 2, coin inférieur déchiré au feuillet 27^4 du tome 3, infimes frottements à la reliure, légères taches au premier plat du tome 8).

Provenance : Marie-Caroline de Bourbon-Siciles, duchesse de Berry (1798-1870 ; OHR, n° 2554, fer 2, plus petit format ; sa vente, "Catalogue of the Splendid Library of an Illustrious Foreign Personage", 21 mars 1831, n° 64) -- Joseph Neeld (1784-1856 ; ex-libris gravé au contreplat de chaque volume).

Beautiful copy in a night-blue long-grain morroco period binding, bearing the arms of the duchess of Berry.
