About This Item
[Paris, 1772. Pp. [1]-12; 17 [of 19] copper-engraved plates, Goußier del., Benard fecit. 1 vols. Folio. Disbound. A clean bright extract, lacking plates I & XIV. Small adhesion of first leaf to later blank wrapper, else fine. Pp. [1]-12; 17 [of 19] copper-engraved plates, Goußier del., Benard fecit. 1 vols. Folio. An especially attractive selection of plates from the Récueil de Planches, that extraordinary illustrated supplement to the magnificent Encyclopédie of Diderot and d'Alembert. The plates depict every aspect of the art and craft of printing in the late 18th century; the explanatory text is concise yet fully detailed. Printing and the Mind of Man describes the Encyclopedie as "a monument in the history of European thought; the acme of the age of reason; a prime motive force in undermining the ancien régime and in heralding the French Revolution; a permanent source for all aspects of eighteenth-century civilization.".
