Premier, Seconde and Troisieme Cahier de Paysages pour dessiner, a deux Sujets sur la Feuille

1740. PERELLE, Gabriel. Premier, Seconde and Troisieme Cahier de Paysages pour dessiner, a deux Sujets sur la Feuille. 3 sets of 12 plates. First series lacking plate 12 and 3rd series lacking plate 5. Oblong 8vo, modern wrappers. Paris: Veuve de F. Chereau, [ca. 1740]. A charming set of drawing manuals by the celebrated creator of topographic views, Gabriel Perelle. Each plate consists of an outline engraving to be completed alongside a completely finished version. Clearly very rare as they appear to be unrecorded.
