Collection des nouveaux costumes des autorités constituées, civils et militaires: Costumes des législateurs, et des autres fonctionnaires publics
Hardcover
by [Garnerey, Jean François]
Hardcover. Very Good+. No place or publisher listed. circa 1796. 4 pp. + 26 hand-colored aquatint plates. (4to) 29x23 cm (11½x9"), modern full red leather ruled in gilt, spine lettered in gilt. An unusually tall copy.
Scarce and significant work recording the dress of legislators, bureaucrats, and public functionaries of France at the time of the Revolution. The text by Garneray, who also drew the costumes, describes the costumes and the materials used in their creation. The plates were engraved by Pierre-Michel Alix. Apparently a large-paper or separate quarto edition, OCLC/WorldCat lists ten copies, locating nine of them. Only one entry notes this 29 cm page height, most noting 21 cm. (Inventory #: D16083)
