Description: Four illustrations on one page show funeral customs in Mexico. Page from the book by the French author and publisher Jean Frédéric Bernard (1680 Velaux, Provence - 1744 Amsterdam) published in 1723: "Cérémonies et coûtumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde représentés par des figures dessinées par Bernard Picart". The seven-volume folio edition on the ceremonies and cultic expressions of all known religions was a bestseller of the Age of Enlightenment despite its high price. It was above all Bernard Picart's illustrations, which were popular with the public, that gave the work its special significance. The French engraver and book illustrator Bernard Picart (1673 Paris - 1733 Amsterdam) studied drawing at the Académie Royale; in 1696 he went to the Academy in Antwerp and in 1698 to Amsterdam, where he worked as a book illustrator. In 1702 he married in Paris, where he worked mainly as an engraver. Titled "Convoi funebre des Mexiquains / Presens que les Mexiquains font a leurs morts / Les Habitans de Venezuela boivent les cendres ..." below each of the four illustrations. / Les Habitans de Venezuela pleurent ..."; signed and dated on the right below the lower image; numbered "92" in the centre above the upper image and inscribed "Tom. VI. No. 23".
Keywords: 18th century, Baroque, Religious, France,
Rather good condition. The sheet is browned and foxed due to its age, there is a liquid stain along the left margin, which does not affect the illustrations; yellowish colour stains in the upper left illustration; with small punctures in the left margin. The four illustrations make a very good impression.Condition
