With 75 albumen prints most signed and numbered in the negative. Beautiful and unusually large souvenir album with 75 photographs of Syria Palestine Constantinople and Athens in a luxurious binding. The photographs were made by the renowned studios of Félix Bonfils 1831-1885 and Pascal Sébah 1823-1886 who were already widely celebrated in their own time for their pioneering work in Egypt the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East. Their images could be bought separately or as customised albums but collections as large as the present one are uncommon as few sets exceed fifty images. The majority of the photographs in the album are signed by Bonfils. He opened his first studio in Beirut in 1867 and produced thousands of photographs of the region. The present album contains one of the photographs he is most known for namely the group of Jews in front of the Wailing Wall. Bonfils personally considered this haunting image to be one of his best works. Other photographs include views of Damascus Beirut and Jerusalem the church of the Holy Sepulchre the Dome of the Ascension Jericho Jaffa Ramallah the Jordan river the temple of Jupiter in Baalbek and the Umayyad mosque. The remaining photographs in the album are either signed by Sébah or unsigned and include beautiful portraits of locals views of Istanbul the Blue Mosque Hagia Sophia Galata bridge and the Bosphorus river and Athens the Theseion the temple of Olympian Zeus the Parthenon and the caryatids of Erechtheion.With a black bookseller's label mounted at the foot of the front pastedown Philip Son & Nephew Liverpool some of the photographs are captioned in ink underneath.

1880J3HGA8OYHYKWEgypt and elsewhere 1880. With 9 carte de visite albumen prints ca. 8.5 x 5.5 cm by Hammerschmidt and Van Lint two albumen prints 9.5 x 12.5 cm by Sébah mounted on paper one silver gelatin print 8.5 x 11.5 cm by Lehnert & Landrock and one silver gelatin print 27 x 21 cm by Schroeder & Cie in a passepartout. Collection of early photographs of North-Africa and the Middle East by several photographers who had worked in the region. The main part of this collection consists of carte de visite portraits by Wilhelm Hammerschmidt ca. 1830-1869 from the 1860s. Most of them show Egyptians including a porter carrying a large chest on his back and a blind man. Three outdoor photographs show a group of men one holding a pipe almost as long as himself a camel rider and two camels in profile. Two larger photographs by the firm of Pascal Sébah from Istanbul date from the 1870s or 1880s and show a caravan halting in the desert. Of later date is the single image by the photographic duo Lehnert & Landrock who worked in Tunis in 1904-1914. Their picture which was popularly used in picture postcards shows a small group overlooking an oasis near Tripoli. The largest and most artistic photograph is by the Swiss firm Schroeder & Cie and dates from the 1880s. This striking image shows the Mosque of Muhammad Ali in Cairo with the crumbling remains of a rock and wall acting as repoussoir and a figure at the front watching from the shade. A strange stowaway in this collection is a single carte de visite by the Italian photographer Enrico Van Lint 1829-1882 of "Galileo's Lamp" the bronze lamp which Vincenzo Possenti created after a drawing by Leon-Battista Alberti in 1587 for the Pisa Cathedral.With 4 of the cartes de visite labelled on the back and one stamped with a name; the paper of the Sebáh photograph with an inscription in English and the Schroeder with an inscription on the back. Some of the sheets or cards on which the photographs are mounted are somewhat tattered at the edges and the cartes de visite have probably been trimmed. Photograph by Lehnert & Landrock with a diagonal fold. All photographs are otherwise in very good condition. unknown

1837202347<p>Venice: In Insula S. Lazari 1837. Hardcover. Very Good. Signed. Full leather binding with gilt lettering & decoration to spine gilt ruled borders on both boards all edges gilt marbled endpapers engraved frontispiece and title page 6-1/4" x 4†434 pp. Aucher’s name appears in three different versions on the first leaf: Armenian transliterated Armenian and Latin dated 1847. George Gordon Lord Byron traveled to the Island of St. Lazar where Father Pascal Aucher 1774-1854 taught him Armenian. Together they published Grammar of the English and Armenian Languages in 1819 and contributed to Aucher’s 1821 English Armenian Dictionary. Byron was devoted to the Armenian language writing: “I learned the language of the Armenians in order to understand how and what language the Gods spoke for the Armenian language is the language of the Gods and Armenia is the homeland of the Gods and the Gods come from the Ararat valley.â€A translation of twenty-four prayers one for each hour of the day of St. Nerses the Graceful translated into twenty-four languages. This is the culmination of an effort that first had 6 10 14 and then 16 translations. This effort was likely from many of the Mekhitarist monks at San Lazzaro degli Armeni. The monastery was founded in 1715 by twelve monks; when Byron visited there were 70; today there are 12 monks and five novices. Despite the small population St. Lazzaro has been a major center of Armenian studies for centuries and still maintains the third-largest library of Armenian materials in the world. This polyglot prayer book is notable not just for its place in Armenian history and the spread of Orthodoxy but it is also a typographic success in acquiring the various fonts.</p> In Insula S.

Octavo. xxxii 383 1 ads. 9.25" x 6" PASCAL USED FOR BRITISH RELIGIOUS CRITIQUE<br /> <br /> Originally published in 1657 Pascal's Provincial Letters scathingly renounced the Jesuits as the order clashed with Jansenists and secular humanists. Eventually the Jesuits were disbanded in 1773 by Pope Clement XIV under political pressures.However as the spirit of revolution died during the Napoleonic aftermath of the French Revolution Western Europe restored its old political order and the papacy revisited Jesuit suppression. <br /> <br /> This 1816 edition was published in London just two years after Pope Pius VII released his papal bull Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum called the Late Bull for the Revival of the Order in Europe in this text reinstating the Jesuit order throughout Europe––the first edition of Provincial Letters to include the bull. In a religiously conservative period dominated by the Church of England the pope's change was not received well as it took the Jesuits over a decade to regain traction in England. Pascal's precise biting defense of the inseparability of morality and spirituality resonated with the practical British religious sensibility. Gale and Fenner unknown

Two beautiful photographs by Jean Pascal Sébah 1872-1947 one of the most famous photographers of his time who specialised in Orientalist photography.
