DELAFOSSE (Jean-Charles): Nouvelle iconologie historique ou attributs hiérogliphyques qui ont pour objets les quatre élémens, les quatre saisons, les quatre parties du monde et les différentes complexions de l'homme. These same attributes also depict the various nations, their religions and the chronological periods of history. (...) These hieroglyphics are composed and arranged in such a way that they can be used for all kinds of decorations, fountains, frontispieces, pyramids, cartouches, door tops, borders, medallions, trophies, vases, friezes, lecterns, tombs, clocks, etc. Paris, chez l'auteur, rue Poissonnières, en la maison de m. menan, paveur, entre la rue de la lune et celle de beauregard et chez de Lalain, libraire, rue saint-jacques, 1768. One volume. 32 by 49.5 cm. (44) pages, and 109 intaglio engraved figures (for 108 announced. Numbering with duplicates replacing missing numbers). Complete. Muted contemporary half vellum. 4 leaves of text formerly restored in margins. An ink stain on almost the entire work, in the margins and without affecting the plates. Some scattered freckling, light wetness on the last ten plates, including 5 in the margins. Plate 75 has been cut from its page, but is present and complete. First edition of this celebrated collection by Jean-Charles Delafosse (1734-1789), a French architect, ornamentalist and painter. He was an important theorist of the Louis XVI "square" style and the beginnings of neo-classicism. His decorative style, described in this book, inspired many Parisian homes at the end of the 18th century. A rare book, as it is often cut up.
