DUMONT, Gabriel-Pierre Martin (ca. 1720--after 1790)
Suite de vases et fontaines de differents maitres.
A Paris (Place), chez l'auteur, rue des Arcis, dans la maison occupée par un com[m]issre.,, [c. 1770].
[15] pl. (on 10 leaves; 10 half-page) ; 54.1 cm. (2º)
Issued as suite 11 in Dumont's Recueil de plusieurs parties de l'architecture, 3 tomes, c. 1770 (q.v.). The title appears on a plaque fixed to the pedestal of the vase in the title-plate, which is a half-plate numbered 34. The designs are by Dumont and Simon Challe (1719--1765). The engraved 'Catalogue' bound at the end of the Recueil volumes calls for 8 feuilles or leaves of plates; the Soane copy like the Berlin and Millard copies contains 10 leaves, but is unlike the Millard copy at least in having 10 half-page and 5 full-page plates where Millard describes 12 half-page and 4 full-page plates (for a total of 16 impressions). Millard I, pp. 167, 172; Berlin Kat. 2416.
Copy Notes Bound (3), as issued, in vol. III of Dumont's Recueil de plusieurs parties d'architecture.
Binding C18th mottled sheep, blind triple-ruled borders, gilt-tooled spine with floral motifs, red and black spine labels, forming tom. III of Dumont's Recueil de plusieurs parties de l'architecture.
