Histoire de l'art égyptien. Texte et Planches (complete set)

PRISSE D'AVENNES Emile

Item #M1384d

Extremely rare complete set of 3 volumes. Arthus Bertrand, Paris, 1878-1879. First edition. Text volume in-4 (444 pages, i.e. 336 pages of text and the rest being the description of the plates in the 2 albums) and 2 large folio volumes of plates, complete of their 159 lithographed or engraved plates, maps and plans (62 in volume I + 97 in volume II), many printed in colour, 1 double page. Bound in a beautiful modern brown half-leather with marbled paper boards. The texte volume is in fine condition. Atlas volumes: some foxing on 4 plates, many plates with restored marginal tears not reaching the drawings, while a few plates have larger, repaired tears, without loss of paper (plates 4 and 60 in atlas volume I, plates 62 and 71 in atlas volume II). Plates 14 and 16 have some restored paper loss, not reaching the drawings. Small marginal blue ink stains in atlas volume I (title page and plates 26, 35 and 62) and in atlas volume II (plates 29 and 88). Altogether a very nice set of what is arguably Prisse's finest and rarest work. Language: French/Français. Relevant subjects: Egypt: Sculpture, Painting, Music & Art.

Language: French/Français.
