    • Engraved frontispiece of Taubenheim’s arms.
    • Only Edition, on encaustic painting. Practiced by the Egyptians and Greeks then long abandoned, the technique mixes wax and other chemicals into paint for exceptional color stability and surface durability. Here Baron von Taubenheim describes his successful experiments. His court painter, Fratrel, provides the recipe and explains its use on large historical canvasses, miniatures and silver. In the preface, Taubenheim OFFERS FREE COPIES OF THE BOOK AND JARS OF THE OIL-WAX to every painting academy in Europe. The printed slip pasted on the title reads Le Bureau de distribution de cette Cire préparée est établi chez le sieur La Combe, Libraire, rue Christine, Faubourg S. Germain, A Paris. The exceptionally large text type — 140 mm. for 20 lines — suggests a privileged audience.
