About this Item
Description:
RARE AND CHARMING 18TH-CENTURY JUVENILIA: GAMES FOR CHILDREN STELLA, Jacques. Les Jeux et les Plaisirs de l Enfance… Terminés par Al.dre Chaponnier. Paris, Chez Chaise Jeune, [ca. 1790]. Oblong 8vo. Illustrated with twelve copper engravings. Bound in contemporary mottled leather, gilt-tooled decorative borders to covers, richly decorated spine (skilfully restored to the headcap, red morocco label with gilt lettering added later), gilt dentelles to the turn-ins, original marbled endpapers. Light marginal wear to the binding, internally very clean. Printed on thick paper. An excellent copy. Rare edition of a book devoted to children s games. It is apparently a reduction of the first edition printed in 1657, which contained 50 plates after Stella, engraved by his niece Claudine Bouzonnet Stella. The charming illustrations for the present edition are after Stella and finished by the Swiss artist Alexandre Chaponnier. This edition appears to be unrecorded as it is unknown to Brunet, Querard, Graesse, Nuc and Gumuchian, and no copy is in the British Library of Bibliotheque Nationale. Thieme-Becker, IV 481. Brunet V, 529 (for the first edition of 1657). Seller Inventory # ABE-1669038584308
