Pair Of Engravings Titled "sunset And Sunrise"

The scene depicts a comfortable bedroom within an aristocratic home. These are interpretive prints from the 18th century—specifically, "Le Coucher" (Going to Bed) and "Le Lever" (Rising)—based on designs by Sigmund Freudenberger (known as Freudeberg); they were etched by Louis Desplaces and finished with the burin by Louis Bosse. The engravings belong to a series titled *Monument du costume physique et moral de la fin du dix-huitième siècle* (Monument to the Physical and Moral Costume of the Late Eighteenth Century). Publisher/Original Designer: Jean-Henri Eberts (credited as I.H.E. or I.H.F. *inv.*). Jean-Henri Eberts (1726–1793) was a French banker, art dealer, and engraver. In the 1770s, Eberts was keenly aware of the importance of Parisian fashion creation and the international influence it wielded. He conceived a plan to create a series of collectible prints—released in annual installments—depicting the clothing, living environments, and daily activities of the fashionable Parisians with whom he mingled. He designed twelve scenes tracing the course of a fashionable woman's day, wrote the accompanying texts, and commissioned the young Sigmund Freudenberger (known as Freudeberg) to execute the engravings. The first set of prints—intended to document the history of manners and costume in 18th-century France—was published in 1775. Louis Bosse was a French burin engraver active during the 1770s. (Note: Inscriptions appear only on the "Le Coucher" engraving.)
