First edition.
One of the most influential books on art in the 19th century.
Michel-Eugène Chevreul (1786–1889) is known to chemists for his research on fatty substances (1810–1823) and on immediate organic analysis (1824), but it is as a color theorist that his name achieved lasting fame.
De la loi du contraste simultané des couleurs introduced a scientific understanding of color that had a profound and lasting impact on the painters of his time.
His “law” describes how the perception of a hue is altered by the surrounding colors, each color projecting its complementary onto its immediate environment (thus, a red object tends to cast a greenish glow on nearby surfaces, a yellow one a purplish tint, and so on). This principle is clearly illustrated in plate 7 of the Atlas, where colored dots on a white background seem to emit halos of their complementary hues.

Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863), a central figure of Romanticism, paid close attention to Chevreul’s research. According to the painter Paul Signac, Delacroix even sought to meet the chemist and acquired notes from his lectures in order to better grasp the law of simultaneous contrast. Several of his paintings feature harmonies built around complementary color pairs. For instance, The Entry of the Crusaders into Constantinople (1840) deliberately juxtaposes yellow/purple, blue/orange, and red/green to dramatize the scene—so effectively that art historian Lee Johnson called it an ideal “illustration” of Chevreul’s treatise.

But it was arguably within the Impressionist movement that Chevreul’s theories reached their highest artistic fulfillment. Claude Monet (1840–1926), in particular, used simultaneous contrast to heighten luminosity in his landscapes. He avoided black and earth tones, preferring instead to render shadows in color: purples and blues for shaded areas at sunset, accented with yellow-orange highlights in full light. This technique appears as early as Impression, Sunrise, the foundational work of the movement. One might also recall the poppy fields, a favorite motif of the Impressionists (Van Gogh, Monet, Pissarro…), where red flowers vibrantly stand out against green backgrounds.

A book heralding one of the greatest revolutions in painting.

Our copy is complete with all the color plates, most of them signed by Chevreul himself.

First edition of the rarest of Chevreul's publications on color.

Michel-Eugène Chevreul (1786-1889) is known to chemists for his research on fatty acids, saponification, and the discovery of stearin, but it is as a color theorist that his name will go down in history. Chevreul was appointed director of the Manufacture des Gobelins in 1824. Responsible for overseeing the production of dyes, he supported the work of dyers with his research on color perception. Thus, in 1839, he proposed a scientific approach to color complementarity and subsequently developed "color circles." A true "Pantone" color chart, a hundred years ahead of its time, Chevreul's color circles had the dual benefit of systematizing the production of hues (each with its own name) and making it easier to understand the concept of color complementarity. Thus, complementary colors are found on the same diameter of the color wheel, Red No. 2 corresponds to Green No. 2. "I believe I can affirm that it is possible to subject colors to a reasoned nomenclature, by relating them to types classified according to a simple method, accessible to the intelligence of all those who deal with colors" (extract from the preface). The standardization of color production was to interest first and foremost the industry then in full development, but it is undoubtedly in the Impressionist movement that Chevreul's theories found their finest accomplishment. Very early on, painters were inspired by Chevreul's work in their paintings, starting with Delacroix and then Monet. We will thus remember the fields of poppies dear to the Impressionists (Van Gogh, Monet, Pissaro...) where the red dots of the flowers burst out on complementary green backgrounds. The 27 spectacular plates were printed by René-Henri Digeon using chromochalcography, the process and difficulties of which are discussed in a paragraph in the book. Digeon appears to have presented a first edition of these plates at the 1855 World's Fair, for which he received a patent from the Empress. Several of the plates in our copy appear to be from this first edition and contain errors that have been corrected in other later copies that we have been able to consult.

Mémoire sur la vision des couleurs matérielles en mouvement de rotation et des vitesses numériques de cercles. 

Paris, Firmin-Didot, 1882 [1881].
More Details >
3000 €

First edition of Chevreul's last works on color.
A rare offprint with its own title page published by Firmin-Didot in 1882, of an article presented to the Academy of Sciences in December 1880 and January 1881 (one generally only finds the article extracted from the Mémoires de l'institut published in 1883). Chevreul is interested here in physiological optics, trying to analyze how the contrast between complementary colors is affected by movement.
In his conclusion, in which he calls himself "the dean of students in France" (he was then 95 years old), he sees a direct application of his work to signaling for train drivers.

Mécanisme de la physionomie humaine ou analyse électro-physiologique de l’expression des passions. 

Paris, Baillière, 1876.
More Details >
18000 €

Rare copy of the deluxe edition of the second edition with the atlas.
It's the first medical book illustrated with photographs of living subjects.
The celebrated work by Duchenne de Boulogne on facial expressions induced by electrification.
Duchenne de Boulogne’s research was intended both for anatomists and scientists (Darwin would later use Duchenne’s findings in his The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals) and for artists, who, as he said, “have not always been able to find the fundamental lines” of an expressive face.
Using his electrodes and induction coil, Duchenne assigned the precise role of each facial muscle in animating the human face.
He thus aimed to “make known, through electro-physiological analysis and with the help of photography, the art of accurately painting the expressive lines of the human face—a kind of orthography of physiognomy in motion” (from the preface).

A copy from the deluxe edition, issued by the publisher, accompanied by its atlas; the regular edition contained only the frontispiece and the nine plates in the text volume.
Our copy is complete with its atlas of 82 additional plates (the last eleven "aesthetic" plates are often missing).

The atlas reproduces the original photographs, whose portraits had been extracted to create the nine synoptic plates, now printed in large format on albumen paper and mounted.
The electrically induced emotions of the six models literally leap off the page.

The first series of experimental photographs (plates 3–73), featuring an old cobbler with a wrinkled face, was deemed too coarse when Duchenne first presented it. He was persuaded to create a second series (plates 74–84) showing young women in various poses—ecstatic to imitate Saint Teresa or cruel to mimic Lady Macbeth.
“Striving to satisfy those with a sense of beauty, and wishing to please while instructing, I have undertaken some new electrophysiological studies in which, as far as possible, I hope to meet the principal requirements of aesthetics: beauty of form, combined with the truth of facial expression, attitude, and gesture.” (p. 133)
He called this part of his work the aesthetic section.
Perhaps unconvinced of its scientific value, he did not always distribute these 11 “aesthetic” photographs with the atlas; for example, the copies sent to Darwin and Charcot stop at plate 73.
The publisher himself only anounced on the title page 74 plates. Copies with plates 74 to 84 are rare.

Duchenne stands at the crossroads of three recent scientific revolutions (electrical induction, physiology, and photography), yet here he has composed one of the true photographic masterpieces of the 19th century.

First edition of this beautiful collection dedicated to ancient Rome, remarkably illustrated by the painter and engraver Jean Barbault.
117 engravings on 73 leaves, 9 large engraved vignettes in the text, and 1 on the title page.
They depict the principal monuments of antiquity—the Colosseum, the Pantheon, temples, columns, aqueducts, thermal baths, and paintings recently discovered at Herculaneum—some with their plans and bas-relief details.
Several etchings reveal the influence of Piranesi, with whom Barbault collaborated for a time.
The collection presents a true archaeological inventory.

The French painter and engraver Jean Barbault, born in Vienna near Beauvais around 1705, received a scholarship from the Academy of Fine Arts to study in Rome in 1749.
After graduating from the Academy in 1753, he decided not to return to France due to lack of funds and remained in Italy until his death in 1766.

Second edition.
A new edition by Claude Antoine Jombert, who had just acquired the original copperplates from the descendants of the architect.
Antoine Desgodetz was sent to Rome, where he stayed for sixteen months in 1676–1677, to survey and measure ancient monuments with great precision. The purpose was well conceived, as he had already observed discrepancies in the dimensions—and thus the proportions—given in classical works on the subject.
The result was a work of obvious utility and great beauty: Desgodetz’s drawings were engraved by excellent artists, including Louis de Chastillon, Nicolas Guérard, and Jean and Pierre Lepautre. Each plate is accompanied by a facing descriptive notice specifying the measurements of the various elements and pointing out the errors in earlier treatises.
The work was justly admired and underwent several reissues. It is all the more surprising to learn that, unlike most ancient treatises, it has not lost its value: even today’s archaeologists—far more demanding than the amateurs of the past—still recognize its accuracy and usefulness.

First edition.
Rare publication on the construction of the Croton Aqueduct.
Following the Cholera epidemic of 1832, the city of New York, whose population was exploding at the time (the most populated city in the United States as early as 1820), decided to build an aqueduct to bring drinking water from the Catskills to the heart of the city.
The construction site, which spanned 40.5 miles (65 kilometers) from 1837 to 1842, was led by John B. Jervis and secured New York's water supply. It was then one of the largest works of hydraulic architecture, linking reservoirs, tunnels, and bridges. The Aqueduct remained in service until 1955.
It was the first of the monumental infrastructures that would make New York a new Rome.

This work is a treatise on optical illusions and anamorphic perspectives, written by Nicéron, a monk of the order of Minims and mathematician of the 17th century. In it, he explores the principles of geometry applied to perspective, in particular the deformations of images that are only correctly revealed from a certain angle or through a mirror.
La Perspective Curieuse is a major work in the history of visual perception and art, influencing both artists and scientists of its time.
The discussion in the fourth part is particularly famous for being the first reference to the law of refraction developed by Descartes that same year.

Beautiful facsimile reproduction of the famous manuscript of Villard de Honnecourt, a 13th-century architect.
This manuscript, preserved at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, is a valuable source on the construction techniques and know-how of medieval builders. It contains sketches and notes that reveal the empirical and artistic approach to Gothic architecture. Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Lassus, architect and fervent defender of the revival of medieval art in the 19th century, annotated this publication, which was then finalized by Alfred Darcel after his death.
The work is part of the movement of rediscovery and promotion of Gothic heritage, led in particular by Viollet-le-Duc and his contemporaries.

Drawing album bellonging to Alfred Robaut, with his blind-stamped monogram on the upper cover.

A draftsman and lithographer, Robaut is best known as the author of the first catalog of works by Eugène Delacroix and Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, painters for whom he greatly admired.

He learned to paint from his father, Felix Robaut, who taught embroidery design at the Douai Academy. In 1853, he married the eldest daughter of the painter Constant Dutilleux, through whom he came into contact with Delacroix and Corot.

This album contains numerous drawings by Alfred Robault's close friends and artists from the North (Alfred Robaut, Felix Robaut, and some of his students, as well as Constant Dutilleux).
We thus find about twenty drawings by Constant Dutillleux (3 are signed, the others attributed in the margin) by his father, 10 are attributed to Félix Robaut, 18 to Alfred Robaut, others to northern artists or former students of Felix Robaut. (2 drawings signed HP attributed to Henry Pluchard, 1 sketch by Henri Regnault with the stamp of the sale of his studio, 1 signed by De La Rochenoire, 1 signed by Célestin Lepollart, 2 drawings attributed to Caullet, 1 attributed to Abel de Pujol, 1 signed by Ambroise Détrez, 3 attributed to Pierre Billet, ...).

Twenty-eight books and exhibition catalogs relating to the work of Théodore Géricault.

This collection comes from the documentation library of the art dealer Maurice Gobin (later his son Francis).
Maurice Gobin was also a collector of Delacroix's works and from time to time we see works by Delacroix from his collection on the market.
In 1935 he organized an important "Exposition de Dessins Aquarelles & Gouaches, par Géricault" (see n.2).

1. GOBIN, Maurice. Géricault : 1791-1824 dans la collection d'un amateur. 1958.
Catalog of 59 watercolors and drawings by Géricault from Maurice Gobin's personal collection.
Maurice Gobin copy's, who added a corrective note to his entry for issue no. 48.

Two copies of the catalog for this exhibition - Maurice Gobin, copiously annotated these copies. They contain details, corrections, mention of pieces not in the catalog, ...
Very interesting. Attached are two typescript sheets "signed by Maurice Gobin's expertise" of the works loaned for this exhibition with the names of the lenders and the value of the works.
3. La belle France - n°11. 1936. with a 2-page article reporting on Maurice Gobin's Géricault exhibition. Poor condition.
4. [GOBIN, Maurice], Collection de Monsieur M.G... Vente du Jeudi 9 juin 1960. Hotel Drouot Salle N°8.
Catalogue of the sale of works from the Maurice Gobin collection. It includes several works from his Géricault collection (see no. 1). A copy by Maurice Gobin with all the auction prices noted and sometimes the names of the buyers.
5. Exposition Géricault 24 avril – 16 mai 1924 à l'Hôtel Jean Carpentier. Covers in poor condition and loose. With the rare supplement sheet (additional works from nos. 338-359).

Copy of Maurice Gobin filled with the list (with prices) of the works belonging to him and for sale at this exhibition and the copy of the letter sent by Maurice Gobin to Mary Sterner on March 20, 1937 in which he is surprised not to have had any news and asks which of these works have been sold.
7. BERGER, Klaus. Gericault Drawings and Watercolors. 1946. Presentation copy to Maurice Gobin.
A copiously annotated copy by Maurice Gobin, providing clarification on certain works, calling into question the attribution to Géricault, particularly one of them. Indeed, Berger claims that it was exhibited in 1935 by Gobin (see no. 2), but Gobin asserts (supported by a photo filled with notes) that it is not the same work.
This copy is peppered with correspondence between Gobin and Berger. A first letter from Berger (1945) in which he thanks Gobin for sending two Géricault works (we have found which ones) and the others (about ten pages) after the publication of the book, with vigorous exchanges about Berger's attribution of certain works to Géricault.
8. BERGER, Klaus. Gericault und Sein Werk. 1952.
This German edition reproduces 95 of Géricault's works, compared to 52 in the first edition (see no. 7). A few annotations by Maurice Gobin and 1 attached leaflet where he specifies, according to him, the drawings which seem to him "beautiful, very beautiful, true", "good or quite good, plausible or questionable" and the last ones "mediocre or bad, impossible or false".
9. EITNER, Lorenz. Deux Oeuvres inconnues de Géricault au Musée d'art Moderne. Offprint from bulletin des musées royaux des Beaux Arts. Juin 1953.

- A newspaper "Les lettres françaises. Arts Spectacles. No. 585 Sept. 1955.

With a handwritten dedication from Péruseaux "En hommage à Monsieur Gobin possesseur de la belle nature morte "Le Cabas aux oignons" ", which is actually a fragment and is reproduced in this article.
- A photograph of this same painting, with notes on the back by Maurice Gobin, and a late reproduction of "Les Gitanos." Indeed, in 1905, Alfred Strölin reissued 30 etchings by Manet, printing 100 copies before pierced the copperplates.
