HANCARVILLE, Pierre-François Hugues d’ (1719-1805)

Antiquités étrusques, grecques et romaines. Paris : François-Anne David, 1785-1788.

Bel exemplaire en maroquin vert de l'époque, avec la plupart des planches coloriées à la main.

L’exemplaire compte 324 planches coloriées à la main sur les 361 que compte l’ouvrage. D’Hancarville, vingt ans plus tôt, a écrit « Antiquité Etrusques, Grecques et Romaines, tirées du cabinet de M. Hamilton, envoyé extraordinaire de Sa Majesté britannique en cour de Naples» (1766-67), travail à l’origine de la rédaction de la présente édition.

L'exemplaire est bien complet de la dédicace gravée au comte de Néale, qui manque parfois.

Blackmer, n°847 ; Brunet, II, col. 536 ; Cohen-de Ricci , col. 474.



5 vol. in-4. (248 x 190 mm). Première édition française. Frontispice colorié à la main et répété dans chaque volume, et 361 gravures par F.A. David dont 324 coloriées à l’époque (rares rousseurs aux feuillets de texte). Reliure de l’époque : maroquin vert, triple filet doré sur les plats, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés, pièces de tomaison et de titre en maroquin rouge, gardes de papier Ingres rose, roulette intérieure, tranches dorées. Le décor de la reliure du cinquième tome, paru en 1788, diffère très légèrement (dos un peu passés, frottements, coins du t.V émoussés).

Provenance : Alexis de Rédé (ex-libris).



An attractive copy in contemporary green morocco, with 324 (out of the 361 contained) plates in contemporary hand-colouring. The binding of the fifth volume, which was issued later, is slightly different from the others but the overall aspect is still uniform.
