PANCKOUCKE, Charles-Louis-Fleury (1780-1844, publisher and latinist) -- Epître à Charles Panckoucke. [Paris:] 1819.
4o (215 x 130 mm). 4 leaves: title and 6 pages of verse signed E.G. Ten issues, PRINTED ON VELLUM AND NINE DIFFERENT COLORS OF WOVE PAPER, bound together. Contemporary gold-tooled red straight-grained morocco gilt, flat spine, edges uncut.
Verse in praise of the great publisher of monumental works of the Empire and Restoration, such as Dictionnaire des sciences médicales, Description de l'Egypte and La Flore médicale; his famous wife, the painter Anne-Ernestine Panckoucke (1784-1860), pupil of Redouté, contributed to the latter as well as to other plate-books printed by her husband. The poem by the unidentified E.G. ends by lauding her artistic talents: "Et, malgré tous ces dons charmans Qui font accourir les amans C'est á toi seul qu'elle veut plaire: Ami, ce n'est pas là, j'espère Le moins doux de mes complimens!"
Ten copies of the poem, PRINTED ON VELLUM and on paper of different colors (including mauve, blue, green, beige, pink), are here bound together. It may therefore be the Panckoucke family's own copy. EXTREMELY RARE: not in Van Praet or Alston; no copy on any paper in the British Library, nor is the poem mentioned in the dictionaries of anonymous and pseudonymous works by Barbier and Quérard.
