The image of the skull resting on a pile of books invokes the imagery of the Latin motto “Memento Mori”, a warning about the vanity of all things earthly and the inevitability of death. This image is reminiscent of several Baroque paintings of the 17th century, with which Lachèvre would have been familiar.

Title A name given to the resource Gulistan ou L'empire des roses : traité des moeurs des rois Description An account of the resource This first example is that of what is termed an “armorial binding”, where the coat of arms of an aristocratic family will serve to indicate ownership on a book’s binding. Such bindings are executed with exquisite care and a family’s arms are tooled into the covers and then gilded. In the case of this “essay on the conduct of kings”, the leather covers have been embossed with the coat of arms of Jeanne Antoinette Pompadour (1721-1764), chief mistress of Louis XV, King of France.

Title A name given to the resource Marcus Tullius, Le Tusculane di M. Tullio Cicerone recate Description An account of the resource This item offers us a glance at marbled paper very typical of the 18th century, with its traditional choice of colours and a design typical of the era; many similar examples are to be found in the collection. The Encyclopedie by Diderot and D’Alembert goes into great detail as to the necessary steps of creating colours and designs for marbled papers. What sets this particular example apart and why it has been chosen for display is the fact that the marbled paper is not found where typically expected, that is, as interior “endpapers” within the book. It is, in fact, covering and thus forming the exterior of the book’s binding.
