Extremely rare first edition in French, published in 1780, the first monograph on goldfish printed in the West. Original leather binding of brown, marbled leather with decorative gilt borders on the front and back covers. On the spine, the title “Dorades de La Chine” appears in gold lettering on red-dyed leather. The endpapers and pastedowns are decorated with marbled paper, followed by a double page with the title on the right; on the verso of the title page appears a poem by Voltaire on the left and a hand-coloured copperplate engraving with a titled cartouche on the right. The publisher and title pages with date are missing. Frontispiece with a portrait of Emperor Kin-Long (Qianlong) as a hand-coloured copperplate. Thirty-two numbered pages of text contain observations and detailed descriptions of the Chinese Empire, its government, customs and religion, as well as a brief account of fish.

This is followed by forty-eight remarkable copperplate engravings, intaglio prints by Fran?ois-Nicolas Martinet, engineer and engraver at the Royal Cabinet, active between 1760 and 1804, which are not bound in their original order. They are numbered 1 to 48 and depict 88 variations of carp species (Cyprinidae) from seven types, the Kin-yu, the most common species, the Ya-tan-yu, “Cannon Egg”, the Long-Tsing-yu, “Dragon Eyes”, the Choni-yu, “Sleeper”, the Kin-teon-yu, “Thief”, the Niu-eubk-yu, “Nymph” and the Ouen-yu, “Scholar Fish”, each hand-coloured in various shades of orange, brown, red and pink on a water-green background, some with silver and gold highlights.

The goldfish is descended from the gibel carp and was already domesticated in China in the 10th century. Due to its beauty and variety of forms, it has long been highly prized by emperors and high-ranking Chinese dignitaries. Originally, goldfish lived in breeding ponds and decorative basins, their size strongly dependent on the volume of water. In the 17th century, goldfish were introduced to Europe by the Portuguese. About a century later, the first known specimens reached France, arriving in Lorient. It is said that directors of the French East India Company presented some goldfish to the Marquise de Pompadour. It was only in the 18th century that it became common to keep goldfish in porcelain vessels. Notably, the death of the cat Selima in February 1747 in such a vessel inspired Thomas Gray in 1748 to write his Ode On the Death of a Favourite Cat, Drowned in a Tub of Gold-Fishes. Modern aquaristics developed only in the 19th century.

Louis-Edme Billardon de Sauvigny, circa 1736-1812, created the work based on a manuscript notebook and a Chinese handscroll executed by imperial court painters in 1722. Some of the plates were copied directly from this approximately twenty-foot-long scroll. These valuable documents once belonged to Henri-Léonard Bertin, 1720-1794, Minister under Louis XV and a prominent Sinologist, and in 1772 were sent to the Minister by Aloys Ko, Gao Ren, 1732-1790, and étienne Yang, Yang Zhide, 1733-1798, two Chinese seminarians who had studied in France at the Jesuit colleges La Flèche and Louis-le-Grand in 1752 and returned to China in the late 1760s. The manuscripts are now preserved in the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris under the shelfmark Ms 5066.

The plates were copied from this scroll and executed with perfect craftsmanship, as Sauvigny emphasises in his preface: “We believe we can safely say that the engraving and colouring by M. Martinet have made the copies far superior to the original drawings. It seems that the artist, who had already earned great distinction in the Histoire Naturelle des Oiseau
