First edition of the first monograph and catalogue raisonné of Sebastien Le Clerc (1637-1714)
VALLEMONT, [Pierre le Lorrain de].Eloge de Mr. (Sebastien) Le Clerc, chevalier Romain, dessinateur, et graveur ordinair du cabinet du roi: avec le catalogue de ses ouvrages; Et des réfkexions sur quelques-uns des principaux.   Paris, Nicolas Caillou & Jean Musier, 1715. Small 8vo. Contemporary mottled calf, spine ribbed and richly gilt, marbled edges. With engraved portrait of Sebastien Le Clerc by E. Jeaurat, dated 1715, mounted for frontispiece, and with fine engraved allegorical headpiece with coat of arms of the dedicatee, marquis de Méreville by Vallet. (8), 223, (5) pp. First edition of the first monograph and catalogue raisonné of the work of the Lorraine artist, Sebastien Le Clerc (1637-1714), famous draughtsman and engraver, contributor also to the Cabinet du Roy of Louis XIV. Le Clerc also introduced a new and easy method of perspective, still used today by painters and graphic artists. His oeuvre catalogue is added at the end (pp. 203-23). The portrait of Le Clerc, especially made for this little book of praise, is often lacking, but an owner of the present copy has found the portrait later, and has mounted it facing the title. Nice copy.
