No Binding. Condition: Fine. Oberkampf [Christophe-Philippe] Auto graph letter, signed, addressed to Louis Feray in Paris (1772-1836), husband of Marie-Julie Oberkampf and a director of the factory, relating to the construction details of his cotton mill at Essonne to produce the cloth needed for roller-printing his decorative fabrics at Jouy, near Versailles, about 35 km away it was the first French cotton mill. Penned in ink on 2 pages of double sheet (225 x 185mm) of water marked laid paper; horizontal and vertical letter-folds, traces of wax seal with light paper damage, faint traces of foxing on first page, otherwise in very good condition. Dated: Jouy, 13 January 1807. Autograph letter by Oberkampf, premier calico printer of France, discussing construction problems at his large cotton mill at Essonne telling Feray to copy detailed plans promised by the architect L. Navier based on instructions by [Samuel] Widmer1 who had expressed concerns about the proportions of different floors of the new mill; Navier had over seen the project for four years. Work at Essonne had begun in 1806, at the height of Oberkampf s career when Napoleon had personally awarded him the Le gion of Honour during the Imperial couple s visit to Jouy. In 1810 Louis Feray became manager of the Es sonne mill built on 5 levels covering 80 meters and powered by two large hydraulic wheels at the ends; it spun and wove with perfection all the materials needed at Jouy-en-Josas which until then had de pended on imported cotton from India. Feray was also appointed director of the nearby weaving work shop at Chantemerle popularly known as L Indienne, an annex of the Jouy factory used for bleaching and dyeing. Autograph letters by Oberkampf are rare in the market. 1 Samuel Widmer (1767-1821), Oberkampf s Swiss nephew, was in charge of production at Jouy since 1800 to assist him with brass roller-printing of textiles and by importing machinery from England; Widmer was also a student of Berthollet and invented printing in the so-called green-in-one process c1807 which he defined as vert faiencé .
