HÉRALDIQUE –[LA PORTE DES VAULX, Jean-Pierre Armand de (1826-1890)]. Essais sur les armoiries. Les Gloires de la France. Dernier quart du XIXe siècle.

2 vol. in-12 oblong (170 x 218 mm). Manuscrits sur papier, d’environ 291 ff. et 66 ff., la plupart recto-verso à l’encre brune. Titres de rubriques peints aux encres de couleurs, nombreux écus et ornements para-héraldiques peints à l’aquarelle et rehaussés à l’or et l’argent. Reliures jumelles de l’époque en chagrin rouge, décor à la Du Seuil sur les plats avec titre doré au centre, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés, gardes de papier marbré, tranches dorées (quelques rousseurs et frottements).

Traitémanuscrit et armorial illustré. Les 50 premiers feuillets du volume présentent certains principes de base de l’héraldique : l’origine des armoiries, les divisions de l’écu, les couleurs (émaux et métaux), les figures, divers ornements para-héraldiques. Cette première partie s’achève par un lexique.
Le reste du volume est un armorial proprement dit, c’est-à-dire une liste de personnages et de familles, classés par ordre alphabétiques, dont les armes sont peintes à côté d’une biographie plus ou moins fournie. Cette seconde partie s’intitule « Les Gloires de la France », et parmi les noms les plus fameux que l’on y rencontre, se succèdent Colbert, Commynes, Craon, Richelieu, d’Estrées ou encore Montmorency. Le supplément poursuit cet armorial.
Le texte est issu du Trésor héraldique, publié en 1864 par Jean-Pierre Armand de La Porte des Vaulx.

Finely calligraphed and illustrated manuscript treatise and roll of arms.
