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 titres, un épître dédicatoire à laReine dessiné et gravé par l'auteur, 13 entêtes, 101 culs-de-lampe, 278 planchesà un ou deux sujets, 13 cartes, un plan, 14 planches de médailles et une planchede phallus dessinés par Cochin, Duplessi-Bertaux, Fragonard, Hubert-Robert,Saint-Non, J.-B. Tierce? et gravéssur cuivre par Couché, Duplessi-Bertaux, Fessard, Ghendt, Le Mire, Le Roy,Saint-Aubin, Saint-Non?Les 14 planches de médailles ne sont pas présentes dans tous les exemplairesparce qu'elles sont un second état des culsde- lampe du tome IV. La planche ditede phallus manque aussi parfois en raison même de son caractère.Exemplaire de premier tirage sans les 14 planches de médailles et sans laplanche de phallus.Défauts d'usage aux coiffes, manques 3 planches, titre et faux-titre du tome IV;pliés, quelques brunissures.Prima edizione del più importante e monumentale libro di viaggi illustrato di tutto il Settecento, dedicato ai Regni di Napoli e di Sicilia. Questa opera rara e preziosa, che fornisce importanti testimonianze iconografiche dei monumenti e dei ritrovamenti archeologici fatti al tempo (si pensi alla Messina prima del terremoto del 1783 o ai disegni degli scavi di Ercolano) fu stampata «aux frais de l'auteur, l'abbé de Saint-Non, qui se ruina dans cette entreprise.
