" Robert de Vaugondy, géographe né en 1688, annonça de bonne heure son goût pour une science que N. Sanson, son aïeul, avait cultivée avec succès. Il se fit d'abord connaître par les cartes qu'il publia des différentes provinces de France, corrigées d'après les nouvelles observations, et il obtint le titre de géographe ordinaire du roi. Son oncle, Pierre Moulard Sanson, ayant résolu d'abandonner les affaires, lui fit la remise de son fonds de livres et de cartes géographiques, que Robert augmenta d'une manière très-remarquable. Ses cartes sont gravées avec netteté (voy. de La Haye). Mais il est principalement connu par les différents atlas qui portent son nom et qui sont encore estimés malgré les changements survenus dans la circonscription des États ".

Exemplaire somptueusement relié en maroquin olive à dentelle aux armes de Antoine-René De Voyer de Paulmy d'argenson, dit le Marquis de Paulmy, fils de René-Louis, ministre des affaires étrangères, et de Marie-Madeleine-Françoise Méliand, né à Valenciennes, le 22 novembre 1722. " Secrétaire d'État au département de la guerre en survivance du même oncle le 9 octobre 1751, il entra effectivement en fonction lors de la disgrâce du comte d'Argenson le 6 février 1757 ; Paulmy donna sa démission de secrétaire d'État le 22 mars 1758, tout en restant ministre d'État ; il fut nommé le 5 avril de la même année trésorier de l'ordre du Saint-Esprit (charge dont il se démit le 17 septembre suivant) et fut envoyé comme ambassadeur en Pologne en juin 1759, puis à Venise de mars 1766 à 1769. Il se défit de sa charge de chancelier et garde des sceaux de l'ordre de Saint-Louis en mars 1771 et fut nommé grand bailli de Touraine et chancelier de la reine en mai 1774, ainsi que gouverneur de l'Arsenal, à Paris.

Il mourut dans cette ville le 13 août 1787, bailli honoraire de l'ordre de Malte, lieutenant général d'Alsace, bailli d'épée de l'artillerie en France, poudres et salpêtres, membre honoraire de l'Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres, associé de l'Académie royale des sciences et belles-lettres de Prusse et de celle des Arcades de Rome. Il s'était marié deux fois :1° avec N... Dangé, fille d'un fermier général ; 2° le 21 avril 1741, avec Suzanne-Marguerite Fyot de la Marche ".

Le Marquis de Paulmy consacrait ses loisirs aux Lettres et à l'histoire ; il écrivit quelques nouvelles, entreprit la publication des " Mélanges tirés d'une grande bibliothèque ", en 65 vol., et conçut le plan de la " Bibliothèque universelle des romans " dont 40 volumes parurent sous ses auspices.

Il avait formé une immense collection des plus précieuses et des plus riches qu'il vendit en 1785 au comte d'Artois et qui constitue le fonds principal de la Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal.

Description:
Probaly Venice, 1825. An exquisite suite of watercolours, including a beautiful series of scenes documenting a Venetian commedia dell'arte troupe, by the Italian artist Francesco Novelli. Francesco Novelli (1767-1836), one of the preeminent artists of his generation, lived in Venice where he was best known for his outstanding book illustration. He enjoyed a long and successful career that culminated in the landmark editions of Don Quixote (1819) and Gil Blas (1820). Novelli is also known for illustrating works such as the Fasti Veneziani (1794), hinting at his abiding interest in the theatre and the performing arts. In this unmatched collection of Novelli's watercolours, the greatest number are piquant images of a troupe of the commedia dell'arte, with especially fine depictions of Pierrot himself, as well as other key figures such as Columbine and Harlequin. There is a remarkable series of scenes from a play, as well as studies of individual performers, many so precisely rendered that it is almost… Read More
