REINHARDT, Johann (1749-1824)

Collection de Costumes Suisses des XXII Cantons. Basel: Birmann & Huber, 1819.

A fine copy of the third, definitive and complete edition of the ‘Grand Reinhard’. A Swiss artist active at Lucerne, Reinhardt published his celebrated engravings of Swiss folkloric life from 1810. Each canton is represented, depicting local costume, landscape and typical occupations. Here, as often, each image is finely painted, forming a veritable galley in book form. Colas 2528; Lipperheide Ga 22 (1810 edition with only 44 plates). Bobins II, 497; Lonchamp 668.



Quarto (290 x 220mm). 46 aquatint plates, finely coloured by a contemporary hand, on grey card with black-ruled frames, printed caption below each plate (faint spotting in text leaves, 2 captions just rubbed). Contemporary red morocco, gilt- and blind-tooled border, flat spine tooled in gilt, gilt edges (minor scuff-marks, discreet repairs at spine and corners). Provenance: E. Matthews,1900 (written on flyleaf label).
