Saint Non Jean-Baptiste Claude Richard - Atlas of the picturesque journey or description of the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily. Paris, Houdaille, in folio, 558 plates, early 19th century binding half bottle green calfskin, smooth spine, fillets between the leather and the green binding paper. Suite of 558 plates of the trip to Italy made by JC de Saint Non around 1760 where he became friends with Fragonard and Hubert Robert and where he went with them from Sicily to Naples. In 1871, he undertook the publication of this work illustrated by the best artists of the time: Cochin, Choffard, Fragonard Gutenberg, Longueuil among others. This publication gives a large part to the antiquities of Pompeii and Herculaneum as well as to the Greek ruins of Sicily, but it also describes Puglia a little. Our copy contains plate 135 entitled "phallus or phallum" which represents objects found in Herculaneum and preserved in the portage museum and which by censorship is missing from many copies. It is said that the author spent lavishly to produce such a work. Exceptional set of plates without the text. Very nice copy
