A fine 18th century book of plates devoted to the history of France, a copy enriched with 5 plates, from the collection of the bibliophile and print enthusiast André Barrier. Paris, Prevost, 1767. Volume in-folio (320 x 250 mm), half calf glazed and marbled with corners, spine ribbed and decorated with a mosaic of red morocco (binding signed Stroobants). Title, 37 leaves of plates. Minor foxing and a few traces of pencil notes. First edition of this collection of vignettes composed by Charles-Nicolas Cochin and partly engraved by himself. The work includes an engraved title and 40 superb vignettes on 34 plates. Copy enriched with 5 additional vignettes, including an allegory "La santé rend à la France un monarque victorieux" (Louis XV, 1744) and "Louis XV arme Mgr le Dauphin au camp de Fontenay" (1745). Excellent prints on strong laid paper. Engravings made to illustrate President Hénault's Abrégé chronologique de l'Histoire de France (1749). The suite was bought by Prevost, who restored it and offered it for sale almost 20 years after it was produced. Provenance: from the library of André Barrier (Paris, 1870-1957), with his bookplate (woodcut by Dété) on the first flyleaf, accompanied by that of Marcelle Léonardin (woodcut by Dété).
