Sm. oblong 4to. 150 plates, not quite consecutive, hf. bd. (? 1780) 188 LEPOTRE ou LEPAUTRE (Jean). COLLECTION DE SES EUVRES GRAVÉES.. 795 plates (about half of them of double page size) engraved by Le Blond and others; bound in 2 vols. stout small folio; old French red morocco extra (bound by Boyer about 1680) with the arms of the Marquis of Stafford added on the sides, and his bookplate pasted within the cover, a beautiful copy. Such a collection as this is hardly likely to come again into the market. Having been bound not later than, say 1690, and probably somewhat earlier, we have complete assurance that the plates are in an early state. The incredible industry and fertility of Le Potre are compatible only with the impression of small editions of his plates; and we may fairly assume that the 2400 pieces described by Destailleur comprised a large quantity of unique pieces. When the coppers passed into the possession of Ch. Ant. Jombert about 1720, he found only 785 which he caused to be retouched, and published in 3 vols., as the "Oeuvres d'Architecture de Jean Le Pautre." His divisions were as follows: I. Frises, Feuillages, Pilastres, Grotesques, Moresques, Panneaux, III. Desseins de Fontaines, Grottes, Vues de Jardins, Jets d'Eau, Vases, Cartouches, Trophées d'Armes, sujets d'Histoiré, Paysages, etc. It will thus be seen that the collection comprises some of the most exquisite examples of Ornament of the middle period of Louis XIV's reign. In a copy like this, so large an assemblage of original impressions may be considered invaluable. Many of the pieces here were not included in Jombert's edition. The coppers had probably been destroyed long before Mariette's stock came into his hands.
