1788 · Milano & Paris
by D'Apligny, Lepileur
Milano & Paris: Nella Stamperia Sirtori & Saugrain & Lamy, 1788. Two volumes in one. 12 mo. 165 x 100 mm., [6 ½ x 4 inches]. [4], 124 pp.; xii, 242, [4] pp. Bound in contemporary leather backed boards over speckled marbled paper.
First Italian edition and the first French edition published nine years apart bound together in one volume. Very good copy of these two editions of d'Apligny's classic work on mixing colors for the use in dying textiles and decorative cloth. The detailed methods and color combinations revealed in this book were quickly recognized and an edition was printed in Leipzig the same year as the Paris edition. This was followed by editions printed in Augsburg (1781), Moscow (1788) the same years as this Italian edition, and London (1789). The Italian edition offered here is not cited in NUC, OCLC, and is not in the National Gallery of Art Library in Washington D.C.. It is also not cited in Cicognara's near definitive catalogue of books on art, see below.
