[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

“L'Art de la Peinture sur Verre et de la Vitrerie”

By Pierre le Vieil.
Printed in Paris by L.F. Delatour in 1774.

A marvelously sweeping, folio-sized survey of the art of staining glass 
and the history and important figures in the trade in France and Europe, 
written by the man who restored the stained glass windows in Notre-Dame.

Le Vieil (1708-1772) was a professional glazier who maintained a glass 
workshop in Paris and was very interested in the history of his trade. 
He was said to have a rich library and wrote several other works, 
including one on ancient mosaics, and one on the manufacture of pottery 
and porcelain. This text is prefaced by a short biography of Le Vieil, 
and an appreciation of his work by Grandjean de Fouchy, Secretary of the 
Royal Academy of Science. Duncan 14145.

Hardcover. 11.5"x17.5", xiv + 245 pages, plus 13 engraved plates; bound 
in new marbled boards with a cloth spine.  Some light wear and soil but 
otherwise clean and nice, with a tight binding. $475-
