Le Sacre de Louis XV, roy de France et de Navarre, dans l'église de Reims, le dimanche 25 octobre 1722. S.l.n.d. [Paris : 1723]

Un des chefs-d'oeuvre de l'imprimerie royale - Exemplaire de présent, relié par Padeloup le Jeune en maroquin bleu nuit aux armes royales. La reliure présente son étiquette au bas de la planche gravée listant les artistes. Il s'agit de la première version de cette étiquette, utilisée par Padeloup avant son accession à la charge de relieur du roi, en 1733. Le riche décor qui encadre, sur les plats, les armes du roi, a été appliqué à l'aide de quatre plaques différentes, avec le chiffre royal frappé ensuite dans les angles. Dans son étude sur les reliures du Sacre, Paul Culot dénombrait seulement 17 exemplaires arborant un décor similaire. Graver pour le roi. Collections historiques de la Chalcographie du Louvre. Cat 25, 26, 27 ; Brunet, V, col. 19-20 ("ce volume est très recherché à cause des belles planches qu'il renferme") ; Cohen-de Ricci, col. 917-918 ("Magnifique volume") ; von Lipperheide, n°2713 ; Paul Culot, "Sur quelques reliures d'époque à décor doré du 'Sacre de Louis XV'", in: Les cahiers de Mariemont, vol. 1, 1970. pp. 36-51.

Un titre gravé, 9 grandes planches à double page, 30 planches de costumes à pleine page, une table gravée à double page et 33 feuillets de texte dans des encadrements gravés (comme toujours, quelques piqûres et légères rousseurs éparses).
