Contemporary half morocco and marbled boards; foxing limited to endpapers overall in excellent shape. First edition of this account of Richardson's first expedition to Africa. The idea to reach the “celebrated Oasis of Ghadames . . . amidst the most appalling desolations of the Great Saharan Wilderness†came to Richardson via the accidental reading of a brochure on a table in the Algiers public library. This glance resulted in a journey from Tunis and Tripoli in Libya to Ghadames and Ghat in the middle of the Sahara chronicled in his Travels in the treat desert of Sahara. Readers travel with Richardson and his group through cities trader routes and more oases learning the language the culture and the religion of the people whom they encounter. It is as fascinating and rich as any nineteen th-century travel narrative.<br /> <br /> A review in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society states: “These volumes are useful contributions to our knowledge of the interior of the imperfectly known regions of Northern Africa; and they describe some hundreds of miles of desert routes over which no Europeans had previously passed as well as several of the cities of the Desert of which we had not before received accounts from European visitors†Vol. 18 p. lix. Indeed Richardson returned to the area in 1850 to cross the elevated plain of the Hammada the first European to ever do so. It was on that journey that he died of a mysterious illness.<br /> <br /> Richardson 1806-1851 was an English explorer with an ambition to propagate Christianity and suppress slavery in Africa. He frequently refers to the trans-Saharan slave trade and the position of slaves in local Tuareg communities. Richard Bentley unknown
1821ST12949Paris: De l'imprimerie de Plassan 1821-22. 212 x 133 mm. 8 3/8 x 5 1/4". Two volumes. <br/> Very attractive quarter calf blind-stamped in "cathedral" style over marbled boards by Thouvenin stamp-signed in gilt at foot of spine corners tipped with green vellum spine blindstamped with a design of gothic-arched windows gilt titling marbled endpapers and edges. Half title with ink inscription in French stating that this book was purchased at the sale of the library of the Duc de Coigny at Chateau de Franquetot on 24 April 1912. ◆Occasional insignificant smudges or spots of foxing the paper a little on the inexpensive side otherwise an appealing copy with virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is an early 19th century French edition of Richardson's first major work offered here in a well-preserved unusual contemporary binding and with intriguing provenance. Samuel Richardson 1679-1761 was a printer who loved to write letters and who at the age of 50 began writing novels using the epistolary form. His major works are important stepping stones toward the modern novel. Day says that "Pamela is the first great character creation of English prose fiction. As much as we may dislike her prudential morality we must recognize here a complete human being." The work initially appeared in French in 1741 shortly after its original printing in English. The unusual binding is typical of the fine work produced by Joseph Thouvenin 1779-1834 the eldest of three bookbinder brothers. Ramsden describes Thouvenin as one of the three great French binders of the Empire and Restoration periods Simier and Purgold are the others and the Walters Art Museum catalogue says that "in his heyday . . . he was the giant among Paris bookbinders." Deriving its name from the use of design motifs taken from gothic architecture the so-called "Cathedral Binding" or "Cathedral-Style Binding" was fashionable in England and France for about three decades beginning ca. 1810. In France--as here--the design was usually blocked while in England it was typically accomplished with gilt tooling. Thouvenin is sometimes credited with popularizing the style. The provenance of our copy is distinguished: it was apparently in the library of the family of the duc de Coigny 1737-1814 who was Maréchal and Peer of France. Although the duke himself was not alive to read this edition it likely was part of his descendants' library remaining on its shelf until purchased by a collector at the sale of family books nearly a century later.
