Description

COURTONNE (Jean). Traité de la perspective pratique, avec des remarques sur l'architecture, suivies de quelques édifices considérables mis en perspective, & de l'invention de l'auteur... A Paris, chez J. Vincent, 1725. In-folio, [6 (of 8)] f., 116 p. (miscalculated for 118), [1] f., approb., pl., contemporary havana calf, 6-ribbed spine, brown morocco title-piece, ornate caissons, red edges (flaws, rubbing, very worn corners; minor soiling and russeting, p. 11 torn but not missing; light spotting and paper mottling in margin of one plate; without the 2 dedication f.). The architect Jacques Courtonne (1671-1739), was responsible for the Hôtel de Matignon (rue de Varenne) and the Hôtel de Noirmoutier (rue de Grenelle); these two buildings are amply described and illustrated in the last part of the work, which nevertheless focuses on perspective. This copy may be a resale by the bookseller Jombert: the regrained frontispiece, identical to the original, bears not the name of the dedicatee, the Duc d'Antin, but the address of the bookseller Jombert and the title "Architecture moderne", and the dedication has not been preserved.
