Descripción

Tall 8vo (208 x 152 mm), engraved title, pp. [x], ix, [1], 189, [1] errata, with 21 engraved plates; plates printed on slightly darker stock; a wide-margined clean copy in recent full calf, gilt. First Portuguese translation of Bosse's classic introduction to copperplate etching and engraving, Traité des manières de graver en taille douce. This Portuguese translation by José Joaquim Viegas Menezes is clearly taken from the Jombert edition and reproduces the same plates, though newly engraved with subtle adaptations; an extensive introduction precedes the text. Bosse's treatise, the first manual of copperplate etching and engraving and the printing of intaglio plates, was first published in French in 1645. It was aimed both at the professional engraver and at the amateur and is extensively illustrated, with detailed engravings based on Bosse's own designs. A second edition of 1701 had contained revisions by LeClerc, the third of 1745 those of the engraver Cochin. The Jombert edition added two new plates by Louis-Marin Bonnet (the inventor of the Crayon manner of colour printing) and a separate chapter on this method of colour printing. In addition to a wealth of technical information, the work includes views of the engraving studio and the copperplate press. As adaptations were made to all subsequent editions, the work has remained an important introduction to print-making which is of practical use to the printmaker even today.
