FRENCH COSTUME

[Gallerie des Modes, 1776-1779.] Paris: Chez les Esnauts et Rapilly, [1779-1791].

Fine hand-coloured plates of 18th-century French fashions and costumes, including an exquisite collection of fashionable hairstyles and headdresses. The collection illustrates the everyday clothes of women and men of fashion and those of children, as well as theatrical and operatic costumes. Colas writes that the work should be in four volumes, but only the titles of the first two are known. A complete copy should perhaps contain 436 plates on 418 sheets. The most complete copy known is that of Comte Octave de Behague, which contained over 400 uncoloured plates, and that of James Rothschild contained 346 plates. Bobins III, 932; Cohen-De Ricci 420 ('Il n'existe peut-être pas d'exemplaire absolument complet de ce charmant recueil'); Colas 1169; Lipperheide Fb 40 (123 plates only); Vinet 2244 (calling for 318 plates only).



2 volumes (only, of 4), folio (370 x 247mm). 242 engraved plates coloured by contemporary hand, engraved by Le Roy, Dupine, Voysard, Patas, Le Beau, after Le Clerc and C.L. Desrais, comprising: vol. 1: 121 plates numbered 1-126 (lacking plates 68-72), organized into 21 cahiers, numbered 1-21, dates of fashion ranging from 1776-1779, all plates captioned with short description of costume, majority plates captioned 'A Paris chez Esnauts et Rapilly rue St. Jaques a la Ville de Coutances, A.P.D.R.' (without title-page, occasional spotting and light finger-soiling); vol. 2: 121 plates numbered 127- 234 (the plate numbering not running through sequentially due to a mixing of parts) from 18 cahiers, numbered 22-40, dates of fashion ranging from 1779-1782, majority plates captioned 'A Paris chez Esnauts et Rapilly rue St. Jacques, a la Ville de Coutances, A.P.D.R.', a number captioned 'A Paris chez Esnauts et Rapilly rue St Jacques a la Ville de Coutances Avec Priv. du Roi.'
