Second edition.
"The discourse on art was born in France during the reign of Louis XIV thanks to two antagonistic figures: Félibien (1619-1709) and Roger de Piles (1635-1709). The latter became the major theoretician of color in the quarrel which opposed Rubenists and Poussinists during the last three decades of the 17th century." (trad. from Bernard Teyssèdre, "Roger de Piles and The debate on color, 1957)

De Piles supports Rubens by arguing that color is the major subject of painting and must come before drawing.

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.

Des Pierres précieuses et des Pierres fines, avec les moyens de les connoitre & de les évaluer. 

Paris, F.A. Didot, 1776.
More Details >
800 €

First edition.
In the first part Dutens explains his system of classification whereby the finest and most durable of gemstones are dubbed "oriental" while those of lesser quality and hardness receive the title of "occidental," thus perpetuating in a highly popular and widely distributed work these unfortunate and misleading terms that persisted in use well into the last century. Some generalities on gemstones also appear here as curious lore, origin of gemstones, and other topics, followed by separate chapters on the major gemstones beginning with diamond. The latter chapter records recent experiments in France and elsewhere on the combustibility of diamond, one such experiment he personally observed. The second part describes lesser gemstones, mainly massive types, used mostly in cabochons or in the manufacture of small to large ornamental articles or decorations.

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.

Set of 27 lithographic courses given at the Central School of Pyrotechnics during the year 1875-1876.
The courses were attended by François Mazeau, deputy chief pyrotechnician at the 21st artillery, 12th battery in Angoulème.
The 21st artillery was formed during the siege of Paris in 1870. The war of 1870 marked the defeat of the French artillery, which was surpassed by the much more modern and organized German artillery. The reform of the central school of pyrotechnics moved from Metz to Bourges was one of the first reforms of the French army after this defeat. The French artillery, particularly with the 75 cannon, became one of the most efficient during the First World War.

The first course is devoted to the use of dynamite, invented a few years earlier by Nobel.

Rare internal document for Citroën sales management. In the early 1930s, André Citroën hesitated to enter the US market, he will end up renouncing and instead strengthen the infrastructure of the brand in Europe. This suite of US market studies that we are proposing is witness to this period of hesitation.
Here the lecture given by Mr. Rocherand to Citroën agents on his study trip to the United States,there are some novelties like the ancestor of the fax or the development of advertising at the T.S.F.
