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.

Otherwise very good condition for this sober but stylish binding. Reunion of two charming volumes with engraved figures by Cochin. 1) First edition. C. Michel, Cochin et le livre illustré au XVIIIe s., n° 191. "Robbé asked his uncle Despille for four illustrations and had them engraved by their friend Cochin. The four drawings attributed without convincing reason to Cochin are in the Louvre." (C. Michel). In satirical verse, the author recounts his picaresque adventures on the road from Jonzac to Orléans, via Saintes, Chinon, Tours, Amboise and Blois. The third song features an apparition of Rabelais, who invites the author to pay him a visit. 2) First edition. C. Michel, Cochin et le livre illustré au XVIIIe s., no. 195. "Four vignettes of children's games, drawn by Pierre, engraved by Cochin fils. Nine in-8 size prints, 1 frontispiece and 8 plates drawn by M. Pierre, eight of which etched by M. Watelet, to which M. Cochin fils gave a few touches in different places on the varnish, before making them bite, & then made a few repeats with the burin in the places missed by the etching. The ninth print, La timidité d'Aminte, is engraved entirely by Cochin fils." (C. Michel). Roman à clef by an author who was a collaborator of the Encyclopédie.
