Italy - COCHIN (Ch. N.) & BELLICARD (J. Ch.). Observations sur les antiquités d'Herculanum, avec quelques réflexions sur la Peinture & la Sculpture des Anciens, & une courte description de plusieurs Antiquités des environs de Naples. Second[e] edition. Paris, Jombert, Naples, Gravier, 1757. In-12, red jansenist morocco, ribbed spine, gilt title, interior lace, gilt edges (Belz-Niédrée). Small restored loss to title (after small loss of text). Third edition (after the original of 1754 and the following one of 1755) illustrated with 40 hors-texte plates, including 6 fold-outs + one additional double plate. The site of Herculaneum was excavated as early as 1738. This extraordinary event had a major impact throughout Europe, changing the way Roman antiquity was viewed at the time. During their tour of Italy with the Marquis de Marigny (Abel François Poisson de Vandières, brother of Madame de Pompadour), the architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot and Abbé Le Blanc (historiographer of the Bâtiments du Roi), Charles Nicolas Cochin, engraver, and Jérôme Charles Bellicart, architect, visited Naples in 1750 and marveled at the site of Herculaneum and the excavations. The work contains a history of the town and the location of the volcano, observations on the antiquities found in the excavations, a dissertation on the paintings and sculptures recovered and a description of some of the antiquities discovered in the Naples area. This artists' description of the Herculaneum ruins predates Winckelmann's work, which brought them to public attention. A precious copy in a signed binding.
