WEIS, Johann Martin (1711-1751)

Représentation des fêtes données par la ville de Strasbourg pour la Convalescence du Roi ; à l'arrivée et pendant le séjour de Sa Majesté en cette Ville. Paris : Laurent Aubert, [1745].

Exemplaire en maroquin rouge de Padeloup, frappé des armes royales. Cohen-de Ricci, col. 870.



In-folio (627 x 450 mm). Édition originale. Page de titre gravée par M. Marvie ; 11 planches par J.P. Le Bas d'après Weis (exceptée la dixième, dessinée et gravée par Weis) ; 20 pages de texte gravé, donnant la description des fêtes, introduites et conclues par deux vues gravées par Marvye d'après Weis (manque le portrait équestre du roi, première double planche très brunie). Reliure de l'époque : maroquin rouge par Padeloup (avec son étiquette sur la page de titre), armes de Louis XV au centre des plats (OHR, pl. 2495, fer 10), roulette avec alternance de lys et de palmettes, fleurs de lys en encadrement, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés de chiffres royaux (OHR, pl. 2495, fer n°29) et de fleurs de lys, pièce de titre en maroquin fauve, gardes de papier marbré, tranches dorées (griffures, accrocs et taches aux plats, frottements aux coupes, quelques restaurations).

An attractive copy of this most famous "livre de fêtes", in the original presentation binding specially designed and executed by Padeloup. The work is a record of the festivities given by the city of Strasbourg to celebrate the visit of Louis XV, and also his recovery from a dangerous illness contracted at Metz in 1744. The copy lacks the equestrian portrait of the King.
