[BARBAT (Louis)]. Evangiles des dimanches et fêtes. Illustrated by Barbat père et fils. Châlons-sur-Marne: Imprimerie lithographique Barbat, 1844. - In-4, 268 x 202: (1 f.), 148 pp., (2 ff.), pp. (149)-315, (1 f.), printed cover. Bound in marbled paper à la Bradel, painted decoration on the boards, consisting of a diamond-shaped frame painted in green, spandrels and a cross motif in the center, gold color, smooth spine decorated with the title of the book painted in green and gold, accompanied by gilt fillets and two gilt compositions, gilt edges, cover and spine preserved, case (20th century binding). Remy Bellenger, Le papier porcelaine et ses utilisations, une histoire oubliée, in: Art et métiers du livre, 2020, n° 341, pp. 55-61. ONE OF THE FIRST BOOKS TO BE COMPLETELY PRINTED IN POLYCHROME LITHOGRAPHY, and one of the finest works produced by the Barbat brothers. The text, printed in a variety of colors and sometimes in gold lettering, is set in almost always distinct frames decorated with arabesques and rocaille or architectural motifs in the Gothic style. The Passion text features an attractive series of stylized crosses. Only 55 copies of this edition were printed on porcelain paper, this one being one of 50 on double-sided white porcelain paper. "In 1827, a patent for "porcelain paper" was registered in Germany; in 1837, Godefroy Engelmann, a lithographer in Mulhouse, patented chromolithography for his Traité de lithographie, which appeared two years later and whose title page was printed in chromolithography... on porcelain paper. For a little over 45 years, porcelain paper was used throughout Europe, or almost, for a wide range of purposes - books, business cards, visiting cards, membership cards, invitations... - before gradually falling into oblivion, often replaced by another innovation: coated paper. The support - paper, card or cardboard - is covered with a white covering of ceruse, giving it an impeccable surface quality and a previously unknown whiteness, the reason for its name: porcelain paper" (Remy Bellenger, Le papier porcelaine et ses utilisations, une histoire oubliée, in: Art et métiers du livre, 2020, n° 341, p. 55). A very well preserved copy.
