[LA ROCQUE, André-Jean de]

Établissement d'une caisse générale des épargnes du peuple. Bruxelles : s.n., 1786.

Exemplaire en maroquin rouge, aux armes de Charles-Alexandre de Calonne, ministre et contrôleur général des finances de Louis XVI. Les armes ne correspondent pas aux fers reproduits dans OHR (pl. 1030) ; elles sont ici composées d’éléments séparés : l’écu dépourvu d’armes, le lion, les aigles éployées et les deux filets pour figurer le franc-canton ont été frappés individuellement. L’hypothèse est donc que l’exemplaire était destiné au ministre, et que ses armes ont été apposées pour marquer la destination du volume, par un relieur qui ne disposait pas du bloc d’armes entier, et qui l’a ainsi « reconstitué » à partir des éléments individuels.

Olivier, Hermal et Roton nous précisent également, à propos de Calonne, qu'au "commencement de la Révolution, il avait expédié en Angleterre ses splendides collections de livres et de tableaux, il les y fit vendre l’une après l’autre".



In-8 (196 x 121 mm). Exemplaire imprimé sur papier légèrement bleuté. 1 tableau dépliant (restauration en marge inférieure du feuillet d’errata ; mouillure brune en marge inférieure des premiers et derniers feuillets du volume).

Reliure de l'époque : maroquin rouge, armes de Calonne au centre des plats, triple filet doré en encadrement et fleurons d’angles, dos lisse orné, pièce de titre de maroquin vert, gardes de papier marbré, tranches dorées (dos passé)

Provenance : Charles-Alexandre de Calonne (1734-1802 ; reliure aux armes).



A precious copy, bound in red morocco with the gilt arms of Charles Alexandre de Calonne, Louis XVI's Minister of Finance in the years leading up to the French revolution.
