Produced between February 1802 and 1830 on the orders of Naopleon Bonaparte and published between 1809 and 1828 1000 copies were printed and distributed to institutions on vergé paper with an 'Égypte ancienne et moderne' watermark visible when held up to the light.

An engraving from the Description de lEgypte one of the masterpieces of French printing and the birth of a new field: Egyptology. A gigantic survey of Egypt at the time of Bonapartes conquests in 1798 and 1799 the work is divided into 13 volumes of engravings making up 892 plates of which 72 colored as well as presenting the splendors of the Egypt of the Pharaohs in 9 volumes. The other volumes discuss natural history and present a fascinating portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonapartes Eastern Armies. The Egyptian campaign militarily a disaster demonstrates through the engravings of the Description dEgypte the scientific success it nonetheless became thanks to the 167 expert members of the Commission of the Sciences and Arts of the Institut dEgypte Egyptian Institute who followed Napoleons army. The Institut gathered together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects and doctors. They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants. This edition the so-called Imperial edition of the plates for the Description de lEgypte was printed in four large formats two of which were specially created for it and christened Moyen-Egypte and Grand-Egypte. A special press was built to print it the process extending over 20 years from 1809 to 1829. The Imperial edition proved so popular that a second edition this time in black and white and without the Egypte ancienne et moderne watermark known as the Royal Edition was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke Paris. The engravings of the Description dEgypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon illustrator diplomat collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon the Louvre. His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de LEgypte. Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51 reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut dEgypte the Natural History Museums painter H.J. Redouté brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté author of Roses the mineralogist Dolomiue and the draughtsman Joly Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When however he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798 he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan.

180935783Paris: Imprimerie Impériale 1809. Fine. Imprimerie Impériale Paris 1809-1829 53.50 x 71 cm une feuille Original etching in plano untrimmed extracted from the so-called ""Imperial"" edition of the Description de l'Égypte ou Recueil des observations et recherches faites en Égypte pendant l'expédition française publié par les ordres de Sa Majesté l'Empereur Napoléon le Grand. Created between February 1802 and 1829 by order of Napoleon Bonaparte and published from 1809 actually 1810 it was printed in 1000 copies on laid paper watermarked ""Égypte ancienne et moderne"" and offered to institutions. Light fold mark in upper right corner otherwise excellent freshness and condition. Volume MODERN STATE II: The genius of the scholars of the Institute is particularly revealed through the plates of the section called Modern Egypt. Architecture industry social structures sanitary conditions water management music and craftsmanship are presented with exceptional precision and graphic quality. The spirit of Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopedia remains underlying in the approach of the draftsmen of the Description of Egypt who accompany the text volumes with numerous detailed plates endeavoring to create a portrait of the populations imbued with beauty and respect. Wealthy pashas or simple potter artisans are represented with sensitivity going about their occupations amidst aesthetic compositions without falling into idealism or caricature. THE DESCRIPTION OF EGYPT IMPERIAL edition 1809-1829: The Description of Egypt is one of the masterpieces of French publishing and the starting point of a new science: Egyptology. A titanic exposition of Egypt during Bonaparte's conquests between 1798 and 1799 it is divided into 23 volumes including 13 volumes of engravings gathering nearly 1000 plates in black and 72 in color. The 6 volumes of plates entitled Antiquities are devoted to the splendors of Pharaonic Egypt. Natural History is divided into 3 volumes of engravings. One volume is devoted to Geographical and topographical maps while the 3 volumes : Modern State present a striking portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Army of the Orient. The ""Egyptian campaign"" a military disaster reveals through the engravings of the Description of Egypt the scientific success it became thanks to the some 167 scholars members of the Commission of Sciences and Arts of the Institute of Egypt who followed Napoleon's army. The Institute brought together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects doctors. They were charged with rediscovering modern and ancient Egypt showing its natural riches and the know-how of its inhabitants. The first edition called ""Imperial"" of the Description of Egypt was created in four large formats two of them specially created for it and named ""Middle-Egypt"" and ""Grand-Egypt"" formats. A specific press was built for its printing which stretched over twenty years between 1809 and 1829. The Imperial edition proved so popular that a second edition in 37 volumes entirely in black and without the ""ancient and modern Egypt"" watermark called the ""Panckoucke"" edition was published from 1821 by the C.-L.-F. Panckoucke printing house Paris. The realization of this monument of erudition owes much to Baron Dominique Vivant Denon illustrator diplomat collector and later director of Napoleon's Louvre museum who accompanied Napoleon to Egypt with many other scholars but decided alone to venture into the South of the country while the other invited scientists remained confined to the Cairo region. The fabulous sketches brought back by Denon from his romantic ride gave Bonaparte the idea to send the other members of the Institute there and thus create a faithful and complete portrait of the territory. Following Denon it was therefore the greatest French scientists and artists who ventured along the Nile as far as Imprimerie Impériale unknown

22270Without date or place. 1p 12mo. Seventeen lines of closely written text. In fair condition lightly aged and worn laid down on a leaf from an album. The recipient is not named but is addressed as 'Monsieur le Comte'. The letter concerns the count's 'ami et protégé' 'M. Leharivel' author of 'Grammaire Francaise Pasigraphique Simplifiee Et Regularisee Pour Servir de Base Fondamentale; Et Anecdotes Et Contes Historiques 1839 . Nodier is pleased that his 'Suffrage' has been useful to Leharivel but he has to explain that Leharivel is mistaken on the question of the place at the Academy Francaise which has fallen vacant on the death of 'M. Michand' i.e. the historian Joseph Michaud who had died 30 September 1839. This 'classe de l'Institut' has no corresponding members and as Leharivel is based in Belgium he is not eligible. Nodier would have conveyed this information to the count in person but he is burdened with work. This letter was in a notebook containing letters addressed to this Le Harivel.
