BOCQUET, Nicolas (fl. 1680-1717)

Coutumes et Costumes de Rome. Paris: Chez Touvain & Rochefort, 1700.

A splendid and rare series illustrating the peoples of Rome and their dress, this copy with beautiful colouring heightened with gold and silver, including a fine scene of a Roman café. Nicolas François Bocquet was a French artist active in Rome for the greater part of his career. In Rome, he was associated with the French Academy established there in 1666 as a branch of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. Bobins V, 1487; Leblanc I, p.395.



Folio (370 x 23mm). 12 engravings coloured by a contemporary hand and heightened in gold and silver within yellow wash borders, text in Italian and French below (closed tear in lower blank margin of plate 4 restored, occasional minor marginal chips and tiny tears in outer margins restored, minor thumb soiling in places, ink spot in café scene). Contemporary marbled paper over thin paste boards (a little rubbed and soiled at edges).
