Fragonard Jean Honoré (1732/1806): draftsman De Saint-non Richard Jean Claude (1727/1791): engraver SAINT-NON, Jean-Claude Richard, abbot of (1727-1791). Collection of views, landscapes, ancient fragments and historical subjects by Griffonis. Paris, undated [circa 1750/1770]. Beautiful copy with the Stroganov coat of arms. Most of the compositions are inspired by masters of Italian and French painting, including Hubert Robert and Jean-Honoré Fragonard. It may happen that the composition of the collection varies from one copy to another - it is fairly complete with all the suites, thus providing an overview of the masterpieces kept in Rome, Naples, Bologna, and Venice. This is a collection particularly important for the history of engraving: as Gordon Ray states, "there are no other places where so many of those who could be called incunabula in aquatint, dating from the end of the 1760s to the beginning of the 1770s, can be found between two covers".
