Rare and complete first edition.

"Edme Bouchardon (1698-1762) was celebrated in his time as an exceptional artist," Bouchardon must have been a great man, "said the collector Pierre Jean Mariette," because he enjoyed all his reputation during his life." As a sculptor, he was nicknamed "the new Phidias", the modern equivalent of the greatest artist of ancient Greece, and as a draftsman he was considered one of the best in Europe. Historians of art have not changed today, Bouchardon being still considered one of the most creative and fascinating artists of the 18th century French, the one who played a decisive role in the transition from rockery to neoclassicism. "
This quote comes from the preface of the catalog of the exhibition "Edme Bouchardon (1698-1762), une idée du beau", which took place in 2016, at the Louvre, and was written by Mr. J-L. Martinez ( President and director of the Louvre) and Mr.T. Potts (director of the J. Paul Getty Museum).

It perfectly illustrates the genius of the artist. This collection of engravings, is cited in the chronology of the artist's works, in the catalog of the Louvre exhibition (p. 415).

The engravings represent the god of Music and Love Apollo, followed by his muses Calliope, Clio, Erato, Thalia, Melpomene, Terpsicore, Euterpe, Polimnia and Urania.
The genius of the artist is illustrated, here, with balanced compositions, the detail of the draperies, the vigor but also the softness of the figures. They perfectly illustrate Neoclassical style and Bouchardon's maner, as a sculptor.

This collection of engravings also shows his interest in the diffusion of his works, with the collaboration of the publisher and engraver Gabriel Huquier.
He was an engraver and publisher (1695-1772) specializing in prints. He is the one who engraved and published the greatest number of prints from Bouchardon's drawings, more than a hundred.
The engravings were not intended for the making of sculptures, but were drawings intended for a diverse audience such as artists, amateurs and collectors (as Mr. Gabriel Bernard de Rieux, cited on the title page).

Very fine copy.

Cours d'Histoire Constitutionnelle donnés à l'École libre des sciences politiques. 

s.l., s.n., 1886.
More Details >
2000 €

Original manuscripts.
Rare and well-preserved set of two constitutional history courses given at Sciences Po Paris in 1886 by the founders of the school: Emile Boutmy and Alexandre Ribot.
Perfectly readable and careful manuscripts by a writer who will remain unknown who was a listener of Emile Boutmy's course on the Constitution of the United States in May-June 1886 and the course on the French Constitution since 1789 given by Alexandre Ribot in February-March 1886.
Created by Emile Boutmy in the aftermath of the 1870 defeat and the Paris Commune, the École Libre des Sciences Politiques (now known as Sciences-Po) aimed to teach political science as a positive science. She will form the elite of french politicians until today.
1886 was the last year in which Boutmy gave his course on the Constitution of the United States; we know a transcription of it in the notes left by Pierre de Coubertin who was also a listener of this course the same year. A comparison of the transcription of Coubertin's notes and our manuscript leads us to believe that our collection is more faithful (seems to be a word for word transcription) of Boutmy's teaching.

Alexandre Ribot's course on the French Constitution (second part of a more extensive course on European constitutions) leaves an important part on the birth of the Third Republic whose constitutional laws were only passed in 1875.

This book is atypical and at the opposite of those received in schools!
It is a collection of very humorous illustrations, which are about the principles of Physics. With its simple, fast, sharp and precise style, Cham manages to make readers laugh about serious areas in the different fields of this science.
