“Nouveau Manuel Complet de Peinture et Vernissage des Metaux et des
Bois”
By S. Lacombe. Published in Paris by Librairie Encyclopedique de Roret
in 1897. New edition, revised.
A comprehensive late 19th century manual to decorative painting and
varnishing on metals, including instructions on choosing and applying
colors and varnish, and instruction in imitating gemstone inlay and
exotic woods, ornamenting household articles, imitating Japanese
lacquers, and with a special section on "petits articles et objets de
fantasie" by Fink.
Nicolas-Edme Roret [1797-1860] was the editor of a groundbreaking
popular series of Victorian-era technical "encyclopedias". Roret came
from a family of booksellers and printers, and in 1822 he began
publishing scientific works, and then began his "Librairie
Encyclopedique de Roret", a series of technical manuals on the history
and practice of science, manners, arts and crafts, and trades. The
"Manuals Roret", written by professionals and experts in their subjects,
eventually totaled some 300 titles, touching on subjects ranging from
astronomer to National Guardsman to painter and butcher. The manuals
were a huge success, and many titles went through several editions.
Softcover. 4"x6.25", 204 pages, with several line illustrations, plus a
36-page catalog of other Roret titles. The covers have some wear and
soil. The book interior has some soil, spotting and light wear, page
creases, etc. [394/39914] $75
