DEBUCOURT, [Philippe-Louis] (1765-1832)
Modes et manières du jour à Paris, à la fin du 18ême Siècle et au Commencement de 19ême. Paris: Bureau du Journal des Dames, [n.d but 1798-1808].
The most interesting and equally the rarest collection of fashion plates quintessentially characteristic of the 19th century (Colas). Beautifully delicate and clean, the present suite of plates shows off Debucourt’s typical style; ‘In his prime… [he] established himself as the supreme master of engravings printed in colour. He was already an accomplished genre painter in 1785 when he perfected his colour printing process with five successive copperplates, which enabled him to achieve in his prints the softness, smoothness and freshness of painting itself’ (Ray, The Art of the French Illustrated Book, p. 146). In the present publication, Debucourt counterbalances his delicate stylings with tongue in cheek compositions in which his characters find themselves embroiled in flirtatious exchanges and partaking in uncivilized activities. Bobins III, 929; Cohen 275; Colas 814; Fenaille p.67; Goncourt, art au 18ieme siècle, 3rd ed., p.305; Rahir 392; Vinet 2248.
Octavo (262 x 163mm). Engraved title page and 52 numbered engraved plates, enhanced with watercolour by a contemporary hand, loose as issued (marginal finger-soiling and very light spotting, large tear to plate 52). Later wine red half morocco over marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt (extremities rubbed, joint splitting at foot of spine); housed in matching slipcase.
