Charles Melchior Descourtis. 1753 - 1820.

Paul et Virginie, a pastoral novel by Jacque-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (January 19, 1737 - January 21, 1814), was published in 1788. Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre was a French writer and botanist, best known for his 1787 novel Paul et Virginie. It treats the tragic love between two children on the Island of Mauritius. An English translation is available online at: Paul et Virginie.

Jean-Frédéric Schall (1752 - 1825) created a set of six designs to illustrate this book for the 1797 edition. These aquatints were engraved in color by Charles Melchior Descourtis (1753 - 1820).

Descourtis was a pupil of Jean-François Janinet and, like him, specialized in the production of colour prints using aquatint and wash-manner. From the later 1790s he engraved numerous works after Jean-Frédéric Schall, notably the series of illustrations to Bernardin de Saint-Pierre’s novel Paul et Virginie (1788).

The image of each of the color aquatints is approximately 12 1/2 x 16 inches. Each plate is approximately 16 1/4 x 19. The margins are trimmed closely outside the platemark. Color is bright.

The complete set of 6 images is scarce. $5,500 for the set.

Miserere et Guerre.

This unique set was Rouault's personal copy containing his annotations and revisions to the titles and order of the prints in the series. The revisions appear to be made at the end of May and beginning of June, 1939. At that time, Rouault and Suarès were meeting to coordinate work on the the two books, Miserere and Guerre. Rouault was to finalize titles or legends for the prints, and Suarès for the texts he was supposed to write.In Rouault-Suarès published correspondence: on May 31st 1939, Rouault writes "je vais mettre titres ou légendes...." Vollard died a few weeks later and the project was halted.

The set was sold to Father Andrew Kelly by the artist via his New York broker, Kleeman Galleries in 1948. The purchase price was $5,000, which was a very considerable sum at the time. Miserere et Guerre was acquired by Father Kelly for the Catholic Lending Library of Hartford. The art collection is now being dispersed.

The series was exhibited at the Morgan Memorial Museum in Hartford in April and May, 1949. Subsequently it was exhibited at Yale in New Haven.

This unique set was used to illustrate the book by Frank and Dorothy, George Rouault's Miserere (Milwaukee: The Bruce Publishing Company, 1964).
