[CARACCIOLI (Louis-Antoine)]. Le Livre de quatre couleurs. Aux quatre-éléments [Liège], de l'imprimerie des Quatre-Saisons [J. F. Bassompierre], 4444 [c. 1759-1760]. In-12 of [2] ff. XXIV-110 pp. printed in four-color process. Marbled basane, ornate smooth spine, red marbled title page, red edges (contemporary binding). Slight wear and tear. The title is printed in orange, blue, brown and red letters and is illustrated with a copper-engraved vignette depicting an allegory of printing. The preface is printed in orange, the first chapter (Des différentes Manieres de se servir de l'Éventail) in blue, the second chapter (Des Toilettes) in brown, the third chapter (Des Etiquettes) in red, and the last chapter (Testament De Messire Alexandre-Hercule Epaminondas) in orange. Barbier wrongly announces Duchesne's authorship in Paris, probably because he was sold there according to the advertisement in Volume III of the Année littéraire. X. de Theux de Montjardin's bibliographie liégeoise (Bruges, 1885, 585) relies on typographical elements for its assertion. This is the second edition, with only 110 pp. First state title page. A fine copy of this famous little bibliographical curiosity. Ex-libris JM. (Barbier II 1327; Quérard II, 48; Brunet III 1122.)
