" The Illustrated Book attained pre-eminence in France 
 about the middle of the eighteenth century. This fact is due 
 to the subtle and refined art of a whole series of petits 
 maitres (wonderful interpreters of French taste), admirably- 
 seconded by a veritable phalanx of skilful engravers from 
 the school of Cars, Lebas, Basan, Wille, and Gravelot. 
 The last-named had visited England (where he illustrated 
 Shakespeare) and knew how to pose his diminutive 
 figures effectively. 
 
 " Eisen, a Parisian to his finger-tips, though of Flemish 
 origin, possessed a pencil of seductive loveliness; Cochin 
 forsook his ambitious designs of Fites to devote his time to 
 the adornment of books ; Moreau, the younger, was per- 
 haps the most expert of all in knowledge and certainty 
 of execution, and Marillier inimitable in the vignette. 
 Boucher, Choffard, Monnet, Freudeberg, Queverdo, and 
 many others also created masterpieces of elegance," 
 — Henry Cohen.

PREFACE 
 
 |RENCH Illustrated Books of the eighteenth cen- 
 tury are always in fashion, and will be while 
 amateurs have the taste for books ornamented 
 with supreme elegance and grace. The art of the 
 eighteenth century, however, perished on the Guillotine. 
 Neglected during the First Empire and the Romantic period, 
 this charming art has at last been raised from neglect, for the 
 gift of good taste is, in France at least, perennial. 
 
 It is to the honour of Henry Cohen, Conservator of Medals 
 at the Imperial Library (now the Bibliotheque Nationale), that 
 in 1870 he made the first essay of a Catalogue RaisonnS, under 
 the title of " Guide de I'Amateur de Livres a Vignettes," of 
 which there have since appeared five editions, the last being 
 dated 1886. 
 
 The eighteenth century, as regards illustrated books, may 
 be said to extend to 1820. It is towards the latter date that 
 the names of some celebrated engravers, such as Baquoy, 
 
vi PREFACE 
 
 De Ghendt, Triere, and others, disappear. The books pub- 
 lished during the first years of the eighteenth century, 
 preceding Boucher and Cochin, are illustrated in a manner 
 somewhat different, and belong by their style to the end of 
 the seventeenth century. 
 
 Among the artists represented in this collection, seven are 
 pre-eminent — Eisen, Moreau, Gravelot, Boucher, Cochin, 
 Marillier, and Choffard. Others, such as Monnet, Saint- 
 Quentin, Le Barbier, and Duplessi-Bertaux, follow them 
 closely. Without doubt the first place must be given either 
 to Eisen or to Moreau. Eisen excelled in giving an inexpress- 
 ible charm to the female figure, while Moreau succeeded in 
 all the various styles he attempted. Eisen died in the full 
 force of his genius, but he gave to posterity his sublime " Contes 
 de La Fontaine," the " Anacreon" of 1773, the " Baisers de 
 Dorat," and the " Temple de Gnide." 
 
 Moreau is best represented by the " Moliere" of 1773, and 
 the lovely "Apropos de la Soci6t6" of Laujon. 
 
 Gravelot, who, like Moreau, exercised his art during a long 
 series of years, died in 1773, at the age of seventy-four, yet 
 his superb " Gerusalemme Liberata" of 1771 shows no sign 
 of failing, but may be considered one of his best efforts — equal 
 in fact to his delightful " Marmontel," -Slightly less inspired 
 than Moreau, and endowed with a talent nearly as flexible, 
 Gravelot lacks perhaps a little of that exquisite grace that is 
 the charm of Eisen, Moreau, and Marillier. This, Cohen slyly 
 insinuates, was due to a long residence in England. Of a 
 
PREFACE vii 
 
 marked superiority in comic or gay subjects, he is perhaps 
 less happy in tragic subjects. This is more particularly notice- 
 able in the " Corneille" of 1764, where the scenes of comedy 
 are more happily delineated than those of tragedy. 
 
 Marillier is represented by Berquin's " Romances " (the 
 illustrations to which Cohen so greatly eulogizes), and the 
 matchless " Fables de Dorat." 
 
 Cochin can be studied through the "Lucrece" of 1754, 
 and the various editions of Renault's " Histoire de France." 
 
 Boucher, deemed by many the master of the eighteenth 
 century, is seen at his best in the superb "Ovid" of 1767. 
 
 In almost equal rank must be placed Choffard, whose ex- 
 quisite culs-de-lampe to the " Contes de La Fontaine " of 
 1762, and St. Lambert's " Les Saisons" of 1775, sufficiently 
 secure his reputation. 
 
 Both Lebarbier and Monnet are represented, the former 
 in the "Gessner" of 1786, and the latter in the "Ovid "of 
 1767. 
 
 Saint-Quentin has proved, in " La Folle Journ^e " of 
 Beaumarchais, his ability to compete with the great masters. 
 
 If we have directed no particular attention to the work of 
 Borel, Freudeberg, Binet, Le Bouteux, Desrais, Leclerc, 
 Martinet, Monsiau, Duplessi-Bertaux, and many others, it is 
 not that they were not great artists, but that they must be 
 considered as satellites gravitating round those brilliant planets 
 which in the above lines have been isolated. 
 
 The present superb collection, which is exceptionally in- 
 
viii PREFACE 
 
 teresting and complete, comprises such chefs-d'oeuvre as the 
 "Decameron" 1757; the Madrid "Don Quixote" of 1780; 
 Dorat's "Baisers" 1770; the "T^I^maque" of 1734; the 
 " Lettres a EmiHe" 1809; the Fermiers Gdn^raux edition of 
 the " Contes de La Fontaine" 1762; " Heptameron " 1780; 
 Marmontel, "Contes Moraux" 1765; the "Moliere" illus- 
 trated by Moreau in 1773; Montesquieu, "Temple de Gnide" 
 1772; the "Metamorphoses d'Ovide" of 1767, the"Tasso"of 
 1 77 1, illustrated by Gravelot, the "Rabelais" of 1741, and 
 many others almost equally noteworthy. 
 
 The numerous treasures of this collection comprise many 
 books printed upon large paper, some of which are unknown 
 to bibliographers; a large number of examples are uncut, 
 this in some instances making the copies unique; some have 
 original drawings of the artists inserted and a few bear 
 the arms or ex-libri of their former famous owners, such as 
 Napoleon I, Madame Victoire, David Garrick, and others. 
 All are either in handsome contemporary bindings from the 
 hands of great binders of the period, such as Derome, 
 Padeloup, Bisiaux, Douceur, Bozerian, etc., or from modern 
 workshops of the first rank.

 This curious work was translated from the original Latin by Conrad Badius. 
 The present is the first illustrated edition. The " Legende Doree " mentioned 
 by Brunet is comprised in the third volume. 
 
 The binding is in Maroquin de Constantinople, a remarkably interesting 
 specimen of mottled red and yellow morocco of Turkish design, for which 
 Bisiaux was so famous. The present copy was bound for the great French 
 amateur Renouard, and his name is impressed in gold on the vellum fly-leaves, 
 and his autograph signature is on each of the titles.
