[CHAUVEAU, Hardouyn (fl. mid-16th century), attributed to.] C'est l'ordre qui a este tenu a la novvelle et ioyevse entrée, que treshault, tresexcellent, & trespuissant Prince, le Roy treschrestien Henry deuzieme de ce nom, à faicte en sa bonne ville & cité de Paris. Paris: Jacques Roffet, [1549].
4o (249 x 177 mm), 2 parts in one volume. Collation: a-g4 (King's entry); A-D4 (Queen's entry, D3-4 blank). 44 leaves, ruled in red. Roffet's woodcut printer's device on title, woodcut criblé and floral initial L (repeated). 11 woodcuts designed by Jean Goujon (10 full-page in text, the one on c3r extended with a folded slip pasted at the top, and one folding woodcut plate inserted between D2 and D3, the other woodcut inserted as a plate in the 38-leaf issue is here printed on D2r). (Last two plates slightly soiled.) Modern red morocco gilt, gilt edges, by Capé; acquired from Librairie Rossignol, 1965.
FIRST EDITION, Roffet's augmented issue of 42 leaves (Jean Dallier also reserved two issues under his own imprint). This beautifully designed French Renaissance book is the official descriptive and pictorial record of King Henri II's (1515-1559) entry into Paris on 16th June 1549 (first part) and Queen Catherine de Medicis' (1519-1589) entry two days later (second part). Jean Goujon's woodcuts illustrate the triumphal arches and other architectural structures, the decoration of Notre-Dame Bridge, the Ponceau Fountain, and a highly ornate warrior, the leather cover of whose mount shows decoration foreshadowing fanfare bookbindings. The cut of an obelisk carried by a rhinoceros folds out at the top of fol. c3r and is on a folded slip pasted at the top of the leaf (as in the Harvard and both Schäfer copies--it was integral in Gourary copy). The artists Jean Cousin, Jean Martin and Philibert de l'Orme contributed to the decoration for the entries, while some elements were repeated from Bernard Solomon's conceptions for Henri's earlier entry into Lyon.
