Title: Le Plumet
Post by: Kulmbach on June 25, 2013, 12:50:32 PM

Does anybody know if it´s still possibly to  buy the uniform plates by RIGO, beside the second hand market?
What I am looking for is his plates in the serie AR dealing with the period of Louis XV period.

I know you specified primary and not secondary market but I have seen quite a few listed on E-bay France.

Hi,
I don't think that it will be possible.
These plates are out-of-print.
Rigo is quite old and not able anymore to pursue the very good work he has done.
If you like Rigo's work, you should have a look to this video from 1977:

Your best source will be e-Bay.  I've had great success "filling in" the holes in my RIGO collection utilizing e-Bay.
I collect only the initial issues of each planche.........no re-prints or copies found in Tradition magazine, so if you
are not particular, you should, with patience be able to find what you're looking for.

Then I know, it´s no way to buy the RIGO uniformplates than on the second hand market and e-bay is the place to watch.
I already got a great deal of Rigo´s plates  but they all are from the Napoleonic period but now my interest has swinged over to includeing the Ancient Regime.

Thanks for the informatin and a special thanks to "ISLY" for letting me see the film about RIGO. Very interesting to see the artist in work and his personal collection.
