About the Item
Jules Gouffe (1807-1877)
Le Livre de Cusine
Librairie Hachette et Cie
Paris, 1867
Chromolithographs
At the age of 16, Jules Gouffe found his calling as a student of the famous Lent. Gouffe surpassed his master to become an icon of culinary splendor.
This classical work on French cooking is truly a masterpiece both for its recipes and illustrations. With 25 color images and 165 black and white embedded in the text, there was no mistaking the high standards of preparation. A rather adventurous book, it applied instruction to both the domestic and superior kitchen. It would thus be a guide to both the household cook and the highest ranking chef.
Spectacular in both ingredients and composition, it is only fitting to portray the finished dish as a work of art. Appetizer to main course to dessert is shown in the fullest regalia. Approaching a still-life quality, it could be said that many of the dishes look too good to eat!
Written in the narrative structure, Gouffe breaks the single paragraph-long recipe into many, each containing great detail as to ingredients. While quantities are listed, they are mostly within the context of the description and not separated into a separate section. This perhaps verbose style of cookbook has had a bit of a renaissance in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries where the writer is somewhat directly conversing with his audience.
Unparalleled for its beautiful composition of the finished dish, it is to this day unequaled in the matter of practical exactness and painstaking minuteness of detail.

- Gemaltes Ornament. (Etruscan Vase Design),Located in Florham Park, NJARCHIV FUR ORNAMENTALE KUNST. M. Gropius, L. Lohde, P. Lehfeldt. Chromolithograph. Berlin, 1870. 13” x 19” Unframed. A fine German work, the illustrations are of classical and neo-classical decorative designs. The acanthus leaf, Greco-Roman busts, mythical animals and ornamental relief show the preferred style of architectural ornament over the centuries and from country to country. A trick of the lithographer was to use the occasional solid ground to give better dimension to the plate. Measuring 19” x 13”, many designs include a scale to show actual size. Only two of the 72 illustrations were printed in full color, another pair in sepia tones, and six in burnt orange and black to show typical Etruscan designs. Several have toned backgrounds. It has been the fashion to apply hand coloring to black and white engravings and lithographs for centuries. The superb condition can be attributed to the individual paper guards placed between each plate. Many of the pieces illustrated are in museums; i.e. a Greek painted portrait medallion is preserved in the Classical Museum...Category

Teaching Applied Arts at the South Kensington School of Design, Jones honed his skills at transforming historical design into contemporary brilliance. Never imitating or duplicating, he remained true to the times and the materials available. Like his fellow artists, architects, painters and poets, he was on the cusp of change. In Jones’ lifetime a new aesthetic would develop. By the centuries’ end it would become an era with a heighten sense of nature coupled with design. The phrase ‘Art...Category
