In this fascinating and ground-breaking monograph, Maria S. LaBarge analyzes the Dutch frontispiece to Francois Valentijn’s 1726 book Oud en Nieuw Oost Indien, showing it to be a significant artistic statement, original in its rich and imaginative iconography and emblematic structure. In her work, Ms. LaBarge compares the Valentijn frontispiece to many other Dutch frontispieces and artworks that likewise feature similar allegories and iconographic elements, and demonstrates the ways in which the Valentijn frontispiece superbly and comprehensively summarizes and visualizes the text of the accompanying book. By clarifying the manner in which the frontispiece image functions emblematically, the author also illustrates how the image emulates early eighteenth-century Dutch culture’s nostalgia for Golden Age styles and subjects. Within the context of the historiography of Dutch frontispieces, Ms. LaBarge’s interesting study proves the Valentijn frontispiece is exceptional and unique.

This book has a limited edition of 6000 printings, with an original lithograph as frontispiece. Size: 9.75"x12.25", 219pp., profusely illustrated in color and black and white. James Coignard took an active part in the movement called "the Paris School." He later moved on and came into his own distinguishing himself by the uniqueness of his oeuvre. He had an important career in the U.S. after his first exhibition in New York in 1957. He gained in prestige and became well-known in Germany, Italy, Sweden and Denmark--as one of the most important French artists of his generation. This study of the artist tries to establish the complex arrangement of a work whose beauty and formal qualities participate in the "immense palimpsest' of our modern culture. Marcelin Pleynet presents the art pieces in an analysis of order and multiplicity of signs that establish the picture space where each painting founds its own poetic world.
