GRIVAUD DE LA VINCELLE (Claude-Madeleine). Recueil de monumens antiques, la plupart inédits, et découverts dans l'ancienne Gaule, orné enrichi de cartes et planches en taille-douce, qui peut faire suite aux recueils du Comte de Caylus, et de La Sauvagère ; dédié à Son Altesse Royale Monseigneur le Prince héréditaire de Bavière [= le futur Louis Ier]. Paris, chez l'auteur, Treuttel et Würtz, 1817. 3 volumes in-4 of [6]-XVI-251-[5]-352 pp. of text, with 3 hors-texte maps, two of which are folding, index, title, and 40 copper-engraved plates. Pink-brown morocco, richly ornamented smooth spine, black morocco title-pieces, wide cold-stamped roulette set with a double gilt fillet framing the boards, large gilt fleurons linked by gilt fillets framing the coat of arms in the center, gilt chainette on the edges, quadruple gilt fillet inside, gilt edges (Simier). Rousseurs. After spending the Revolution in administrative posts, Grivaud de La Vincelle (1762-1819) was able to devote himself to his passion as an amateur antiquarian. He first took advantage of a position in the Senate to oversee excavations in the Luxembourg Gardens, which unearthed many Gallo-Roman works. He went on to build up a remarkable collection of antiquities, particularly engraved stones. He published several works, this one being the most important. A superb copy bound with the arms of the DUCHESSE DE BERRY by Simier. Ex-libris Bibliothèque de Rosny.
