ADAM, Victor (1801-1866)

Collection des Costumes Militaires. Armee Francaise 1832, Representes dans des Sujets de Genre. Paris: Chez Dero-Becker, [c. 1840].

Rare complete copy of Adam's military costumes of France, with beautiful original colouring. A fine copy. This work on military costume was issued without text, save for a wrapper title, a portion of which appears with this copy mounted to the front pastedown. The composition of the subjects is superb, but the chief glory of the work is its exceptionally beautiful hand-colouring finely heightened with gum arabic. Colas describes the work as 'tres rare complet’ with the 42 plates as here. Bobins IV, 1204; Colas 34; Hiler, p.6; Glasser, pp.1-2; Vinet 2259.



Oblong folio (278 x 361mm). 42 lithographic plates, coloured by a contemporary hand and with gouache and gum arabic, original lithographed upper wrapper title, trimmed to text portion mounted to the front pastedown (wrapper a little dust-soiled, very rare marginal spotting, a little offsetting on verso of plates only). Later half maroon crushed morocco over cloth boards by the Atelier Bindery, spine with raised bands, title lettered in gilt. Provenance: unidentified crowned monogram (engraved bookplate).
