Vesuvius, and various festivals), works of art, etc.; decorative vignettes; maps and plans; engraved dedication.The "Voyage Pittoresque" was one of the most celebrated illustrated books of the eighteenth century. For the genesis of the project, see Antony Griffiths, "The Contract between Laborde and Saint-Non for the Voyage Pittoresque de Naples et de Sicile", Print Quarterly, Vol. 5, No. 4 (December 1988), pp. 408-414. The text for the four volumes in the series was published between 1781 and 1786; the plates were issued in livraisons from March 1778 onwards.JIoli Vingopoulou: Jean-Claude Richard, abbé de Saint-Non (1727-1791) was a French clergyman, engraver and painter. He was exiled from Paris for political reasons and lived from then onwards in Poitiers. EventuAlly, he made the choice to devote himself to his artistic interests (art, archaeology and music), and thus resigned from his public office as a judge. After 1759 Saint-Non lived in England for some time, and later moved to Italy (1759-1761). He traveled to Naples and Sicily with painter Fragonard and H. Robert. He released first his drawings of the monuments of Rome, which soon won over the public; thus, in 1777 he was able to publish his account and drawings of the ?enchanting? journey to Magna Graecia. After ensuring financial support from sponsors, he prepared this five-volume work with enthusiasm, in spite of the difficulties which arose (1781-1786). The chronicle is comprised of Saint-Non's texts (a review of the history of Southern Italy and studies on Naples, Pompey, Herculanum and their neighbouring areas), and the corresponding plates. Two of the volumes are dedicated to Sicily.Édition ORIGINALE et premier tirage de ce superbe voyage décrivant lesRoyaumes de Naples et de Sicile, l'un des premiers beaux ouvrages de ce genrequi ait paru en France (Brunet).L'entreprise est due pour le texte à Jean-Claude Richard, Abbé de Saint-Non, néà Paris en 1727 et mort en 1791, qui conçut le projet de cette édition sousl'impulsion de Benjamin de Laborde, auteur de la Description générale etparticulière de la France. L'ouvrage forme d'ailleurs le pendant de ce dernier,pour l'Italie du sud. Saint-Non chargea Vivant Denon d'entreprendre un voyage enItalie du Sud, accompagné de brillants artistes et savants, afin d'en rapporter eséléments nécessaires à la réalisation de cet ouvrage. L'édition de ce voyage estl'une des plus vastes entreprises de ce genre qui aient été tentées au XVIIIesiècle.La rédaction de l'ouvrage est également due à d'autres écrivains, notammentChamfort pour le précis historique sur Naples et la Sicile, Vivant Denon pour ladescription de la Sicile, Deodat de Dolomieu pour la partie minéralogique,Faujas de Saint-Fond pour la géologie, Romé de l'Isle pour l'histoire naturelle,d'Ennery pour la numismatie?L'illustration comprend en tout 5 fleurons de tit.

Livre Edition originale
4 volumes bound in 5, folio 20 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches, handsomely bound in 19th century half calf with gilt spines and red leather lettering labels. First edition. Half titles and titles with engraved vignettes, engraved dedication to Marie-Antoinette, text collated- illustrated with 303 engraved plates with 439 engraved images - made up as follows- 15 maps and plans, 274 plates of views and artefacts of which 136 have 2 engraved plates per page plus 14 plates of medallions. Plates complete as listed in the bibliography Brunet with misnumbering of plates 92-95 in volume 3, minor anomaly to Brunet's description of the additional text leaves between 130 and 131 in volume 3. Text illustrated with numerous head and tail pieces including in volume 2 - 25 hand coloured tail pieces of subjects from Greek vases. Included is the Phallus plate said to have been censored by the King of Naples. One plate is an aquatint. Some occasional spotting and old marks, one text leaf repaired but a good copy. Saint-Non (1727-1791) went to Italy in 1759 and studied art and architecture in Rome, where he met the painters Hubert-Robert and Fragonard. He travelled to Naples with Hubert-Robert in the spring of 1760, spending several weeks in Naples itself, Paestum, Pompeii and Herculaneum, where he drew copies of wall-paintings and antiquities, which were eventually prepared for publication during a stay at the Villa d'Este at Tivoli. On his return to Paris in 1761, preparation of the plates for this work were put in hand at the suggestion of Jean Benjamin de la Borde (co-author of Tableaux de la Suisse with the Baron von Zurlauben). However, the cost of production of the work ruined Saint-Non financially, hastening his death in 1791. A MASTERPIECE OF FRENCH 18TH CENTURY PUBLISHING AND ENGRAVING. From the library of John Wordsworth who was the nephew of William Wordsworth with his inscription on the endpaper saying - 'collated with Brunet the 5 volumes perfect, J. Wordsworth Trin Coll Cant'.

Berlin 1904 - Ray French 34" This is one of the most ambitious and successfull of travel books". - Blackmer 1473: "the first work of its type to appear in France and it created a vogue for the `voyage pittoresque". - Brunet V, 55: "Ce livre est un des prèmiers beaux ouvrages de ce genre qui ait paru en France, et il a beaucoup de succes". - Cicognara 2708. Millard French 148: "the completed work is one of the most beautiful that a private person has ever produced, and it is unparalleled among the sumptuous voyage pittoresque publications". - "Der Pariser Theologe und Jurist Jean Claude Richard Saint-Non (1727-1791) ist vor allem als als Zeichner, Radierer, Kupfer- und Aquatintastecher bekannt. Nachdem er in den Jahren 1759-1761 mit den Malern Jean-Honoré Fragonard und Hubert Robert fast ganz Italien bereist hatte, entstand sein monumentales Hauptwerk Voyage pittoresque, ou description des royaumes de Naples et de Sicile. Das fünfbändige Werk im Folioformat enthält neben einem aufwändigen Titelkupfer für Königin Marie-Antoinette 299 Tafeln und 111 Vignetten, 6 Karten und einen Plan. Es gilt als Meisterleistung der französischen Buchkunst des 18. Jahrhunderts. Saint-Non präsentiert eine politische und soziale Geschichte der Königreiche Neapel und Sizilien und Texte über die neuesten archäologischen Funde in Herculaneum und Pompeii. Auch die Geologie des Vesuvs und der Campi Flegrei und deren Fauna und Flora werden eingehend beschrieben. Das späte 18. Jahrhundert war eine fruchtbare Zeit für Bücher über Süditalien. Voyage pittoresque war bei weitem nicht die einzige, gilt aber als eine der besten. Bis weit ins 19. Jahrhundert setzte es einen sehr hohen Standard in der Verständlichkeit und in der Qualität der Bilder und wurde zum viel konsultierten Standardwerk für Enthusiasten der Grand Tour" (Roland Lüth. ETH Bibliothek). - Die prächtigen Kupfer (in Hoch- und Querformaten) zeigen Veduten von Landschaften mit Seen, Vulkanausbrüchen, Städteansichten mit Plätzen, Monumenten, Theatern, Tempeln, Kirchen, antike Reliquien, wie Münzen und Musikinstrumente usw. Band 2 enthält 25 kolorierte Vignetten mit griechischen Vasen und die vom König von Neapel verbotene Tafel mit Phallusdarstellungen aus dem Herkulaneum. Die durchaus komplizierte Kollation weicht von Exemplar zu Exemplar ab: "Il existe donc certainement - ou il a existe des exemplaires enrichis d`une ou plusieurs planches en couleurs" (Guimbaud). - Im vorliegenden Exemplar sind alle bei Creminini aufgeführten Tafeln sowie 75 nicht aufgeführte Kupfer (auf 74 Blättern darunter auch die sogennnate - meist fehlende - "Phallustafel" in Bd. 2 nach S. 52) enthalten. Es fehlen die Tafeln 1 bis 13 der 14 Münztafeln, diese stellen jedoch nur Wiederholungen der Schlußvignette der 14 Kapitel dieses Bandes dar. - Breitrandiges Exemplar mit stellenw. kl. Randläsuren. 2 Tafeln (in Bd. 2 und Bd. 3) mit kl. hinterlegtem Randeinriss.
