[DEVÉRIA, Achille (1800-1857).] Two sets of plates for Les Soirées lubriques. [Paris: 1830s-1840s.]
23 hand-coloured lithographs comprising: a) a set of 12 plates (130 x 157 mm), hand-coloured and finished with gum arabic, on white wove paper (270 x 360 mm) (scattered spotting, short tears and light wear to edges, one plate with a long tear in the margin); b) another set with the illustrated front wrapper and 10 plates (130 x 157 mm), hand-coloured and finished with gum arabic, the front wrapper on thin lilac paper and the others on stronger white wove paper (220 x 300 mm) (short tear in the margin of the front cover, scattered spotting mainly in the margins).
A DEVERIA MASTERPIECE, here present in two states: a wide-margined set complete in twelve plates, and another set of ten plates from the same series, with narrower margins and issued with a lithographed cover titled Les Soirées lubriques. Erotique. This issue also appears complete: the Nordmann collection included this same version, also without ‘La maison en ruë’ and ‘Les Effets du champagne’. Both versions are rare: the only complete sets recorded by AE and ABPC are the Nordmann copies (sold, Christie’s Paris, 27 April 2006, lots 124 and 387).
