JACQUIN, Pierre Joseph.

Monographie complète du melon. Paris : Rousselon et Jacquin Frères, 1832.

Unique édition de cette monographie recherchée pour ses superbes planches représentant 88 variétés de melons et pastèques : melon maraîcher, melon de Cavaillon, melon blanc d'Afrique, petit sucrin à chair verte glacée... Bien des maisons bourgeoises disposaient à cette époque de melonnières, en dépit des préceptes de l’ancienne diététique jugeant le melon particulièrement indigeste. « Je ne vous défends point le melon puisque vous avez de si bons vins pour les cuire et les digérer » (Madame de Sévigné à sa fille).



In-8 (216 x 140 mm). Illustré de 33 planches hors texte gravées ; finement aquarellées et gommées, d’après les dessins de l’auteur. Malgré l’annonce dans le titre, les exemplaires n’ont pas tous été coloriés à l’époque (déchirure restaurée au feuillet 132). Reliure moderne : demi-maroquin blond, dos orné de filets dorés et à froid, petits fers à froid.



[On joint :] CHAMBRAY, Georges, marquis de. Traité de la culture du melon. Nevers et Paris : Laurent, Huzard, Pillet, 1835. In-8 (220 x 140 mm). Illustré de 5 planches repliées. Broché (très piqué, rousseurs, couvertures abimées).



Unique edition of this monography on melon, illustrated with 33 hand-coloured plates representing 88 varieties of melons and watermelons.
