[GODONNESCHE (Nicolas) and FLEURIMONT (G. R.)]. Medals of the Reign of Louis XV. Paris, 1736. One folio volume, in a worn, plain cardboard binding. First edition of 1736, printed on thick laid paper and fully engraved. This copy features a frontispiece, a title page, a dedicatory epistle to the King, and 54 plates of medals, each dated and annotated within historiated frames. Nicolas Godonnesche, engraver and curator of the King’s Medal Cabinet, undertook this publication as early as 1727. His project met with opposition from the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, which claimed a monopoly on the design and publication of royal medals. Despite these difficulties, the collection went through several successively expanded editions, notably under the name Fleurimont.
