DAMAME-DÉMARTRAIS, Michel-François (1763-1828)

Collection de costumes du royaume de Naples... Paris: Firmin Didot, 1818.

Rare suite of magnificently hand-coloured plates depicting the various costumes of the kingdom of Naples. Each plate is dedicated to a village of the Italian State, depicting the typical dress of both the local men and women. Almost classical in design, Damme-Démartrais renders his descriptive compositions equally emblematic of the Italian country life; plate 8, Costume du village di Casalbordino situates the two figures within the bucolic setting, a waterfall cascades down in the background and an overflowing basket of grapes attests to the abundance of the local vines. Damme-Démartrais was believed to have studied under Jacques-Louis David (1784-1825) and has produced other such notable works as Collection complete de divers jardins et points de vue des maisons de plaisance imperials de Russie (1811) and Paris et ses alentours (1818). Bobins IV, 1217; Colas 787.



Folio (546 x 348mm). 1 leaf of letterpress, 12 aquatint plates, all coloured by a contemporary hand, untrimmed and loose as issued (letterpress leaf lightly browned and stained, lacking dedication leaf, light finger-soiling and small marginal tears to plates, heavier spotting to plate 11). Modern morocco backed marbled paper board chemise and matching slipcase.
