Suite of 109 fine plates illustrating native costumes from around the world, copied from 18th century travel books.
All copperplates within gold-lined frames under tissue guards, engraved by J. Laroque after a design by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur.
This is an early prospectus with 36 parts and 109 plates showing samples from all volumes of the proposed set: Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. The prospectus or "Programme et Plan de l'Ouvrage" appears at the front, and the title page midway through the volume. The complete set was to comprise 48 parts with six plates each in four volumes (288 plates) beginning from 1 August 1792. It was eventually published in 1795-96 in Paris and included some 433 plates in four volumes.
The literary part was to be written by Jean-Francois Cornu. The images were copied from 18th century travel books, most notably Captain James Cook's Voyages. There is an element of charming fantasy about many of the images along with the remarkably accurate details. The dancing Zulu or Xhosa warrior from Natal holds a single-string gourd bow uhadi, the Iroquois ceremonial person holds a medicine bag and chickikoue drum, the priestess of the python cult Dangbe on the Slave Coast (now Benin) is depicted with a snake, an Itelmen man of Kamchatka stands in front of a pehm, a raised summer dwelling, and a Patagonian man hunts with a bolas.
On the other hand, the Rapanui man and woman of Easter Island wear see-through net skirts, while a man from Hawaii wears a makini war helmet and holds an 'uli'uli gourd shaker used in dances. There are also three different races of fierce female Amazon warriors: ancient mythological Amazon, African from the kingdom of D'mt in Ethiopia, and South American from the Amazon river.
The set is also a guide book to the Enlightment idea of the Noble Savage and a portrait of European imperialism, colonialism and genocide. The Yahgan people of Patagonia and the Rapanui people of Easter Island depicted here were largely wiped out, and many other native peoples decimated after contact with the Europeans.
Original full leather binding with raised bands and remains of leather title label, boards heavily rubbed and worn, protected in plastic cover. Book block solid, front hinge reinforced with Japanese paper, marble endpapers, engraved bookplate of the Waldesovo Museum (Prague), and one library sticker on front board. Interior mostly clean and unfoxed, a few plates with spots, finger smudges or water stains, but all outside the platemark.

Description:
Paris: Chez Deroy, 1796. Quarter Calf, Speckled Boards. Very Good. 4to. 25.5 by 20 cm. Two frontises (one with engraving, other hand-colored plate), title, [2], 221, [3] pp. With 50 hand-colored aquatint plates, the most exciting not merely costume but showing military and equestrians on move or in action. (And first frontis is B/W.) Colas 1298. The timing of the publication was significant -- it was the fourth year of the Directoire, and so noted on the title. Revolutionary France drew inspiration from Ancient Rome in terms of its republicanism, its muscular outlook, and its aesthetics (although this was a trend that certainly predated the Revolution). Note that this work is encountered without coloring most often. Moderate wear to the binding, and scattered light foxing and soiling within.
