Charles Louandre (1812-1882) was a French writer, editor, historian and bibliographer. He published histories of the working classes in medieval France, industry, agriculture, nobility, the law, etc.
Claudius Joseph Ciappori was a French painter, born in Marseille in 1822, died 1887 or 1888. A pupil of A. Aubert, Loubon, Ary Scheffer and Ingres. Exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1848 to 1880 with religious paintings and decorative design in oils, watercolours and drawing.
Ferdinand Sere (1818-1855) was a French art historian who also published Histoire de l'Imprimere (History of Printing) 1852, and Musée des rois de France. He died before Arts Somptuaires was completed.
"Les Arts somptuaires was an outstanding publication for its time by virtue of its scale, and also because its use of coated paper for the plates allowed the inks to sparkle on the page." M. Twyman, History of Chromolithography
A milestone in the history of chromolithographic printing and publishing. Many of the plates are finished with gold or feature rich gold backgrounds, making even the illuminated manuscript facsimiles shimmer like Byzantine ikons.
Bound in quarter brown leather with five raised bands and gilt titles, some sunning to spines, brown cloth boards with light stains, marble endpapers, all plates with tissue guards. Occasional marginal browning and spotting to the plates and text.
A really sumptuous collection of chromolithographic plates.

Walter Herries (or Harris) was a pamphleteer who participated in the first Darien "adventure." Upon his return to England, he was offered inducements by English politicians to write a book that would ruin the reputation of the members of the Darien Company. His book was "Declared by a royal proclamation to be a 'false, scandalous, and traitorous libel'."
This book, attributed to Ridpath, is an answer to Herries's book, and an attack on English politicians. Ridpath was a Scottish journalist who wrote and supported Whig interests against the Tories.

A beautiful 19th-century edition of the works of William Shakespeare!
In the mid-19th-century, Charles Knight published an illustrated edition of the works of Shakespeare, a set that proved to be very popular throughout the English-speaking world, into the late 1800s. It included all of the famous works one would expect to be in a collection of Shakespeare, but unlike other editions of the same era, this particular example features the impressive full-page engravings of character portraits.
This 1878 American edition was published in Philadelphia by Amies. An impressive example of Shakespeare.
