't Lust-Hof van Momus, Beplant met de voornaamste Gewassen van Mars in Europa, Een opgepronkt met Staat-kundige Zinnebeelden Des Tegenwoordigen Oorlogs. La Cour de Momus et le jardin de Mars en Europe orné des emblèmes politiques...Paris : « Louis de Lis-Defleuri, au Monarque Tombant », s.d. [Bruxelles, vers 1707].

Superbe reliure du XVIIIe siècle, ornée aux petits fers. Elle habille une série de pamphlets anti-français qui fleurirent durant la guerre de Succession d’Espagne (1701-1714), en particulier au moment de la formation de la Grande Alliance, coalition de nombre de puissances européennes contre Louis XIV.

Le volume présente un titre général mais aussi des pages de titre individuelles, ce qui pourrait laisser supposer que c’est une réunion de plusieurs pamphlets. Leurs titres sont sans ambiguïté sur la position de leurs auteurs : « Appendice de l’almanac roial, ou l’année victorieuse des alliez, de 1706, contre le soleil éclipsé et couchant de France », ou ce savoureux « vacarme au Trianon, ou le nouvel hotel des filles & fils naturels de Louis le Soleiller, pour le consoler à l’égard de son Mars infortuné en Europe ».



En 1898, le Bulletin Morgand attribuait la superbe reliure à Albert Magnus (1642-1689), l’un des relieurs hollandais les plus célèbres du XVIIIe siècle. Cette attribution ne peut qu’être inexacte compte tenu des connaissances actuelles sur la vie de Magnus. Anonyme, la reliure reste d’une grande qualité, avec de riches décors d’encadrement aux petits fers se déployant en circonscrivant un médaillon central composé d’éventails.



Petit in-folio (306 x 206 mm). 42 planches gravées en taille-douce. Reliure de l’époque : maroquin rouge, riche décor d’encadrements aux roulettes et petits fers, se déployant autour d’un grand médaillon central aux éventails, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés, gardes de papier marbré, tranches dorées (dos passé, usures aux charnières, frottements aux nerfs, manques au caisson de tête).

Provenance : Bulletin Morgand, n°44, 1898 ; n°32252 – Alexis de Redé (ex-libris).



A fine example of 18th century binding, on a series of political prints and pamphlets, issued during the War of the Spanish Succession.
