Title: La Grande Passion - 18 original copper engraved plates of scenes from the life of Christ Author: Callot, Jacques (1592-1635) Place: Publisher: Date: [c.1625] Description: 18 copper engravings, loosely housed in a 17th century full brown calf chemise, gilt-tooled covers and spine, gilt-lettered morocco spine label. Each engraved image measures 7.5x5.5 cm (3x2½") and each sheet size is 14.5x9.5 cm (5¾x3¾"). 4 plates are captioned, the remaining have no caption. Jacques Callot (1592-1635) was most famous for his miniature engravings of scenes from the life of Christ, commonly called The Grand Passion or La Grande Passion. The first engraving is captioned in the plate, and a bit foxed, and with a holograph ink signature, and we cannot determine if artist's hand or not. All but two of the scenes are rectangular, and are signed by Callot in the plate. There are two oval shaped scenes which do not bear the signature of Callot in the plate, and are perhaps from an earlier issue of this work. Lot Amendments Condition: Light wear to calf chemise; most plates a bit yellowed at edges, a few are foxed, one plate with dampstain on bottom corner; very good. Item number: 236602
