An extensive collection of Watteau prints, including the title pages and a number of prints from Jullienne’s rare L’Oeuvre d’Antoine Watteau (c.1740). For the Jullienne edition cf. Cohen-De Ricci 1054-63 (’Ce somptueux recueil en deux volumes est un des livres les plus beaux et les plus rares du XVIIIe siecle. Des cent exemplaires qui furent tirés, à peine une trentaine existent encore aujourd'hui [in 1912!] les autres ayant été cassés par les marchands d'estampes’); Ray, French, p. 6 (‘an inexhaustible source for illustrators both in France and abroad who were working towards the new rococo style’).
