[DIDEROT, Denis (1713-1784)] et Guillaume-Thomas RAYNAL, abbé (1713-1796)
Histoire philosophique et politique des établissements et du commerce des Européens dans les deux Indes. Genève : Pellet, 1780.

Bel exemplaire avec les planches en double état et les cartes rehaussées à l'aquarelle, enrichi de gravures provenant des éditions in-8. L'édition originale parut en 1774, dépourvue d'atlas. On doit la partie philosophique de l'ouvrage à Diderot et Holbach. Une note manuscrite en début d'ouvrage mentionne Renouard – l'exemplaire présent au catalogue de 1831 au n° 3183 a une composition similaire mais la reliure ne correspond pas au présent exemplaire : "toutes les gravures y sont doubles ou triples, avant la lettre et avec eaux-fortes. On a ajouté les gravures plus nombreuses de l'in-8, celles de toutes les éditions antérieures, et l'arrêt de condamnation du 29 mai 1781". Cohen-De Ricci, col. 854 ("Belle édition que les figures de Moreau ont fait préférer").

5 vol. in-4 (295 x 196 mm) dont 1 atlas. Troisième édition. Illustré d'un portrait de Raynal par Cochin gravé par Launay en double état en frontispice du volume 1, 2 autres frontispices aux volumes 2 et 3 et 16 planches gravées d'après Moreau ou Eisen (on a rajouté dans l'exemplaire des planches provenant des éditions in-8), la plupart en double ou triple état. Atlas composé de 50 cartes à double-page, contours rehaussés à la main à l'aquarelle (cartes numérotées de 1 à 49, avec la carte 17bis) et 23 tableaux dépliants. Reliure de Bisiaux : maroquin bleu nuit, triple filet doré en encadrement des plats, dos à nerfs orné de roulettes et petits fers dorés, roulette intérieure dorée, tranches dorées, gardes en parchemin. (piqures et rousseurs éparses, reliure frottée, griffures et accidents aux plats, certains mors fendus avec petits manques de cuir).

Fine copy enriched with plates from the 8° editions, most of them in two or three states, with the maps of the atlas enhanced by hand.
