| Notes | M D Chausse is tooled in gold on upper cover. Part of the Charles Ramsden Collection of Signed Bindings. Signed by Tessier. Macchi states: end century- XIX th first century, Paris, bound by Tessier. Different binders are known under this name. 1) N. Tessier or Teissier. He succeeded J.-C. H. Lemonnier about 1780, and used the former's label with appropriate alterations. He further varied his label all through vicissitudes of the Revolution, the Empire and the Restoration with remarkable, cynicism and apparently undisturbed success (Gruel L., Manuel, bibliographique, 1905, p. 164). He does not figure in the 1797-1798 Almanach, but thereafter consistently between 1803-1843. It is hard to believe it was the same individual, but the firm went on in rue La Harpe. The first address in 1780 was n. 165, then in 1803 n. 132 and from 1890 ownwards to 1843 at n. 45. He is specialist in large bindings (P. Culot, Relieurs et reliures, 1995, p. 555-556; J. Fléty, Dictionnaire, p. 167); 2) René Tessier (or Teissier), Paris. He worked at Mont -St. Hilaire 10 (1803), n. 6 (1815); Cloître-St. Benoît (1821); 3) Tessier Aîné, at S. Dominique 17 in 1843-1847; 4) Tessier. He appears at Sept-Voies 7 in 1843 (C. Ramsden, French Bookbinders, p. 200) | |||
