CROZE-MAGNAN, Simon-Célestin (1750-1818), Pierre LAURENT (1739-1809) et d'autres. Le Musée français, recueil complet des tableaux, statues et bas-reliefs, qui composent la collection nationale, avec l'explication des sujets, et des discours historiques sur la peinture, la sculpture et la gravure. Paris : de l'Imprimerie de L.-E. Herhan, 1803-1809.

Édition originale de ce monumental panorama gravé de l'impérialisme culturel napoléonien. L'ouvrage ayant paru en livraisons, les souscripteurs peuvent composer à l'envie leur volume et, ainsi, leur "parcours de visite" dans ce Musée français.
Le présent exemplaire était à l'origine orné d'aigles impériales aux angles et probablement au centre des plats, qui ont été remplacées, certainement à la Restauration, par des lys et les armes de France. Cohen de Ricci, col. 743; Vicaire ,V, 1229 ; Brunet, IV, col. 1335. Vicaire, Cohen et Brunet donnent des collations différentes (respectivement 346, 344 et 344 planches).

4 vol. in-folio (615 x 452 mm). Tirage limité à 600 exemplaires, parus en livraisons. Vignettes de titre, 8 vignettes gravées et 345 planches gravées (brunissures et piqûres éparses, déchirure restaurée à la première planche et à celle de "Renaud et Armide"). Reliure de l'époque par Bradel l'Aîné en maroquin rouge (avec son étiquette), aux armes royales de France au centre des plats semés de lys, encadrement de palmettes avec lys aux angles, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés d'un décor de croisillons, aux alvéoles peuplées d'abeilles, d'aigles impériales et d'étoiles, non rogné. Provenance : ex-libris de Rudolf von Gutmann (1880-1966 ; Sotheby's Londres, 2 avril 1993, lot n°29).

First edition of Croze-Magnan's colossal tribute to art in the age of Napoleonic cultural imperialism ; the best documentation of the holdings of the musée du Louvre during the age of Napoléon. In contemporary red morocco, originally stamped with the gilt emblems of Napoléon, later overstamped by the lys and amrs of France probably during the Bourbon restoration
