Paris, Chez Chereau, 1786. Hardcover. Bears the bookplate of Russell and Clinton, Architects - the NYC firm responsible for many notable early 20th century buildings, including the Astor Hotel. A previous owner has added "C.L. EMY" to the title page in pen. Part of the backstrip is lacking, but otherwise the contemporary calf binding is in good condition, and firm. Old French bookseller's ticket inside back cover. Wormhole in upper inside corner of the early pages, not affecting text. 68 plates (including the frontispiece) plus 25 plates in the second part. This is the first edition of the 24 year old Delagardett's commentary on Vignola. Illustrated with 68 plates drawn by Delagardette, followed by another 25 plates, with his commentary, illustrating the uses of shadow in architectural rendering. This edition is quite scarce. Although OCLC appears to list four copies in American libraries, all turn out to be later editions. .
