Costumes anciens et modernes: Habiti antichi et moderni di tutto il mundo
by Cesare Vecellio
- Used
- very good
- Hardcover
Very good copy of the fourth and best edition of this famous Renaissance collection of world costumes.
With 513 costume plates printed on fine vellum paper, with each plate facing a page of descriptive text in Italian and French.
This new edition has all the original costume plates corrected by Gerard Seguin and engraved on wood by Etienne Huyot. The decorative frames to both costume and text pages were engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann.
A panorama of world costume from European nobility and peasants, Venetian senators, prostitutes, Turkish pirates and dervishes, ancient Roman soldiers, fanciful Japanese and Nestorian costumes, Native Americans from Virginia and Peru taken from travel books, etc.
Cesare Vecellio (c.1521-1601) was an Italian artist, cousin and assistant to Titian, active in Venice and Augsburg. In 1590, he published his collection of costumes of all nations with woodcuts copied from Christoph Krieger. Despite many fanciful and imaginary costumes, it became an iconic source in the history of costume and fashions.
In half red shagreen leather, four raised bands, gilt titles and tooling, marbled boards with bumping to corners, marble endpapers, interior clean and bright with good impressions of the woodblocks, slight offsetting and foxing to some plates and text.

Description:
12 mo. (7 x 4 1/2 inches) Glasgow, 1700. First Edition. (viii) 112 pages. Good condition: early nineteenth century half calf, marbled boards, considerable wear to hinges (front hinge split, but holding), title in gilt on spine.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.

Description:
This book is bound with leather covers and a cloth spine. There is a label on the front cover which is not readable. New endsheets have been added at some point in the book's long history, but the original endsheets and covers are present. There is a former owner's inscription on the original front endsheet. Pages are intact and the binding is tight. The book contains black & white drawings of muscles, bones, and bandages. There is an index for medicines and an extensive table of contents of body parts, diseases, syndromes, and treatments. Printed in the year 1846, the book itself is, in essence, a time capsule that portrays how medicine was practiced aboard an early nineteenth century sailing ship. This will make a wonderful addition to the library of the collector of medical memorabilia.
