About This Item
1789. A Paris, chez M. le Brun rue du Gros-Chenet, 1789. x,30 pp. 93 items described, with prices and names added in ink in a contemporary hand in the margin. Nineteenth century half calf, marbled boards (spine damaged). Paul-Henri Thiry, Baron d'Holbach (1723 – 1789) was a philosopher, translator, and prominent social figure of the French Enlightenment. For the Encyclopédie d'Holbach wrote and translated a large number of articles on topics ranging from politics and religion to chemistry and mineralogy. Money was not a problem for d'Hoblach and he maintained one of the more notable and lavish Parisian salons, which soon became an important meeting place for the contributors to the Encyclopédie. It was at once a shelter for radical thought and a hub of mainstream culture. The present catalogue presents his collection of art containing a.o. works by Wouvermans, Berchem, Vanmol, Teniers, Poussin, le Sueur and Mengs and many engravings.

About Knuf Rare Books
Knuf Rare books was founded in the 1950s by Frits Knuf in the Netherlands. After an apprenticeship with Frits I took over the firm in 1996 which we then moved to France in 2001 where we are still based. The business is run from our home in Lavardin, one of the most beautiful villages of France located in the Loire Valley, that can easily be reached from Paris. Visitors are most welcome, but by appointment please. I am interested in the History of the Book and have a good inventory of rare and uncommon printed books, ephemeral items, prints and manuscripts from the incunable period to the twentieth century. My stock is especially strong in early auction- and library catalogues, type specimens, continental printer’s and engravers manuals, calligraphy manuals. Another interest is early continental architecture books and early art auction catalogues. Every year I issue two fully illustrated and annotated printed catalogues that are sent out upon request. In addition to that I also send out short email lists every week with a selection of books about books from our stock. And of course, I exhibit at several major international book fairs, such as New York, Boston and Paris. We work mainly with institutional customers, and are happy to discuss special institutional requirements. I adhere strictly to the professional standards and code of conduct of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers and the Syndicat national de la Librairie Ancienne et Moderne (SLAM), and the Compagnie Nationale des Experts (CNE) to which I belong. I have been an international rare book dealer for over 25 years and am a member of the Nederlands Genootschap van Bibliofielen. If you want to buy or sell single books or whole collections, have an expert valuation or if would just like some advice, please do not hesitate to contact me.
