Description

PATAS Charles-Emmanuel. Sacre et Couronnement de Louis XVI à Reims le 11 juin 1775 ; précédé de recherches sur le sacre des rois de France, depuis Clovis jusqu'à Louis XV et suivi d'un journal historique de ce qui s'est passé à cette auguste cérémonie... Paris, Vente et Patas, 1775 ; in-4 de xii-148 pp., 91-[1] pp.., [19] ff. of captions, 8 pp. (transport of the Holy Ampoule), contemporary red morocco, gilded fillets framing the boards, fleurs-de-lis at the corners, arms in the center, spine ribbed and decorated with fleurs-de-lis with olive patch, gilded edges, modern case with a window revealing the coat of arms. This is a famous festive book that Louis XVI, with a humility that was to prove unlucky, wanted to be less lavish than those of his predecessors. In particular, he requested that the format, traditionally in plano or in-folio, be reduced to in-4. The volume contains an accurate account of the nerve-wracking coronation ceremony, a brief history of the coronation of each Capetian, a description of the role of each official during the ceremony, and more. It is decorated with an engraved title, a frontispiece, 39 costume plates, 9 beautiful double-page court scenes, a double plate of coats of arms and 14 header vignettes, all engraved on copper by Patas. The often-missing folded map of Reims is included. A luxurious copy in large paper, covered with a fresh binding bearing the arms of Louis XVI. Ruggieri, 606 - A smaller edition also exists, but in the in-4 copies "the proofs are very superior (...) and the figures have frames" (Cohen II, 785). Provenance : Chaponnière Collection, Sotheby's, 2019, no. 134.
