KLEIN, Anton von (1744-1810)

Galerie historique des illustres Germains, depuis Arminius jusqu'à nos jours. Avec leurs portraits et des gravures représentant les traits principaux de leurs vies. Paris : Antoine-Augustin Renouard, 1806.

Exemplaire en grand papier, en maroquin rouge aux grandes armes de Napoléon Ier. Il s’agit de la première édition française d’un ouvrage paru en 1803. L’édition française est un florilège condensé d’un panthéon allemand en réalité beaucoup plus vaste : dans une note liminaire, l’éditeur indique en effet « qu’une traduction complète de cinq volumes in-folio, quelque minces qu’ils soient dans l’original, effraieroit peut-être une nation dont le goût est l’apanage, et qui sait tout approfondir, en paroissant tout effleurer. Nous ne donnerons donc que la quintessence de la Biographie allemande ».

Brunet évoque un tirage à 200 exemplaires, dont 10 sur grand papier. Barbier, II, 520 ; Brunet, II, col. 1458.



In-folio (447 x 287 mm). Illustré de 31 planches gravées dont le frontispice allégorique.

Reliure de l’époque : maroquin rouge à long grain aux grandes armes de Napoléon Ier (OHR, pl. 2652, fer n°10), en encadrement des plats, large roulette florale, fer d’angles représentant un temple antique, dos à doubles nerfs, caissons ornés de vases antiques posés sur un fond semé d’abeilles, roulettes sur les coupes et les chasses, gardes de papier Ingres rose, tranches dorées (quelques taches et griffures à la reliure, dos légèrement passé).

Provenance : reliure aux armes de Napoléon Ier -- Alexis de Redé (ex-libris).



Large paper copy (out of supposedly 10), in contemporary red morocco with the gilt arms of Emperor Napoleon I.
