FENELON, Franois de Salignac de la Mothe (1651-1715). Les Aventures de Télémaque. Paris: Pierre François Didot, le jeune, for l'Imprimerie de Monsieur, 1785.
2 volumes, 2o (325 x 248 mm). Half-titles, wood-engraved armorial device after Choffard on titles, engraved title by Montulay dated 1773 in volume 1, 71 (of 72) engraved plates by Jean-Baptiste Tilliard after Charles Monnet and 24 engraved chapter summaries with calligraphic text and culs-de-lampe; EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED with two gouache paintings on vellum [vol 1, p.13 and vol. 2, p.293] and four stipple engravings printed in sepia by J.B. Lucien after C.N. Cochin [vol 1, pp. 250, 267, 290 and 301]. (Lacks livre 23, plate 2; a few insignificant foxmarks.) Contemporary French green morocco, covers with wide gilt-dentelle border incorporating floral basket and leaf tools, and a lyre surrounded by a human-faced sun in each corner, with the human-faced sun repeated elsewhere in the design, spines in 6 compartments with 5 raised, gilt-lettered in one, a gilt-floral panel in the remaining, edges gilt, by Vente (some very light rubbing to spine bands, a few small scuffs); green cloth slipcase. Provenance: Lucius Wilmerding (bookplate); Saul Cohn (his sale Parke-Bernet, 18 October 1955, lot 403, Emil Offenbacher agent).
BEAUTIFULLY BOUND BY VENTE AND EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH TWO FINE GOUACHES. First edition illustrated by Monnet, and one of the "100 outstanding French Illustrated Books, 1700-1914," according to Ray. Monnet had completed the designs for this edition by 1771 when they were exhibited at the Academy. The engraving by Tilliard was completed two years later, but they were not published until 1783, and then issued only as a suite without the text. The 1785 edition, uniting text and illustration as intended, was printed on specially-procured vellum paper of Annonay, providing the plates with 'a more gracious setting' (Ray). It was printed with Didot's new Gros Romain Gras type, cut by Jean-Baptiste Gérard after designs by Didot (cf. J. Veyrin-Forrer, "Les premiers caractères de Pierre-François Didot", La lettre et le texte, 1987, pp.139-53). In the Wilmerding sale, the gouache paintings were erroneously described as engravings by Parisot after Noitte. Cohen-de Ricci 384-386; Ray, French Illustrated Book, 37. (2)
