1863ABC_47223Pont-à-Mousson France 1863. Size of the whole when folded and closed: 22.5 x 18 cm. Élie Haguenthal colophon: Paul Toussaint Half red cloth and hand coloured lithographed paper sides. Lithographed folding panorama showing 8 different lithographed scenes captioned in and beneath the illustrations of the Italian War of 1859 from the French-Italian perspective.The 8 scenes 5 3-leaf scenes and 3 single leaf scenes are assembled to make a single long foldout as assembled with the text: 21.5 x 395 cm; image size 19 x ca. 310 cm coloured by a contemporary hand. 5 ll. of letterpress text and the lithographed folding panorama. Second known copy of a lithographic panorama of the Italian War of 1859 also known as the Second Italian War of Independence. This war was fought in the northwest Piedmont region of Italy pitting the Second French Empire and Savoy-Piedmont-Sardinia against the Austrian Empire and it proved crucial in the process of Italian unification. The text and following hand-coloured lithographs describe and depict eight stages of the war from the departure of French troops for Italy to their return some months later and highlighting several important battles including those at Magenta and Solferino. As a result the influence of the Austrian Empire in Italy was greatly reduced.The present work is extremely rare: we have located only one other copy at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and it moreover differs slightly from the present one.The title-page functions as the front paste-down the text and illustration of the panorama fold out from there. The text and illustration have been printed on one side of the paper. With a French inscription in pencil at the head of the first page. The binding is somewhat foxed and browned the front board is slightly cracked the red cloth around the spine is slightly faded the back hinge is weakened some occasional staining and very slight foxing throughout. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf.

With a small woodcut vignette on each title page. 5 volumes bound as 2. First and only Milan edition of the Heyaryek-Rouz or Thousand and one days so called to give the work an air of originality Chauvin IV 124. A Persian manuscript of this work was given to Francois Petit de la Croix in Isfahan in 1675 but enjoyed far fewer editions and translations than the Alf layla wa-layla. As Chauvin notes it cannot be determined whether the Thousand and one days or the Thousand and one nights was composed first; nevertheless to this day the Heyarek-Rouz is much less well-known to the Western world IV 123f. Chauvin quotes one commentator who declares the Heyarek-Rouz much more ingenious and more realistic as it sometimes includes marvels following the taste of the Oriental.The bindings show signs of wear some occasional browning and foxing. Otherwise in good condition.l OPAC SBN ITICCULO1E019449 4 copies incl. 1 incomplete; WorldCat 799553244 1 copy; cf. this edition not in Chauvin. Pietro Agnelli, hardcover
