Title: Le Moyen de devenir Peintre en trois heures, et d'exécuter au pinceau les ouvrages des plus grands Maîtres, sans avoir appris le dessein. Edition revué, corrigée & augmentée
Description: M. Magérus, 1766. Contemp. halfleather binding. First edition with illustration. (Two earlier ed. without ill. the first dating from 1755.) 8vo. A treatise on miniature painting on glass, in the form of a dialogue between the author and his female pupil, a marquise. Vispré's method was based on the transfer application of an engraving to a glass or mirrored surface, allowing the amateur artist to make superb reproductions in 'under three hours'. When this edition appeared, Vispré had settled in London making his way as a successful portrait painter and miniaturist, exhibiting first with the Society of Artists and then quite frequently at the Royal Academy. Apart from Vispré being a painter and tutor, he was also supplier of artists' materials, so his book might as well be some kind of advertisement. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
