1766101196<p>Engraved map slight outline coloring decorative rococo boarder with landscape style cartouche 12" x 10.7". Decent margins but bottom margin a little narrow minor aging light pencil notation in right margin; overall in excellent condition with a very strong impression. While the interior of the map doesn't show a substantial amount of geographical detail this appears typical of the period. There are some large rivers and lakes that are identified. The Nile appears to rise from two small lakes in the Mts de la Lune above the Equator. In the south there aren't a lot of places named but there are still some tribal names present.</p>

1761273345Paris: Louis Charles Desnos 1761. unbound. Copper plate engraving with original hand color. Image measure 14.25" x 20.75".<br/><br/> This lovely 1761 map by Claude Buy de Mornas depicts the Nile Delta in northern Egypt. The map presents the science arts and monuments of Egypt and as such does not identify cities towns or other locations. Includes illustrations of pyramids pharaohs and a labyrinth. The city of Memphis is labeled and mountains are rendered in profile. Along the left and right is French text and the whole is surrounded by a beautiful floral border.<br><br>The notable feature of this map is the mapping of the large Lake Moeris. Today a small lake named 'Birket Qarun' near modern day Hawara appears at the location of Lake Moeris. Nearby is the legendry 'Labyrinth'. The lost Labyrinth appears in many classical texts including those of Herodatus Strabo Diodorus and Pliny. Described to be megalithic complex designed by Imandes for the Pharaoh Amenemhet III the Labyrinth is believed to have contained thousands of rooms filled with hieroglyphs and ancient Egyptian sculptures. Herodotus wrote about it in the fifth century B.C.: <br><br>" Furthermore they resolved to leave a memorial of themselves in common and in pursuance of this resolve they made a labyrinth a little above Lake Moeris and situated near what is called the City of the Crocodiles. I saw it myself and it is indeed a wonder past words; for if one were to collect together all of the buildings of the Greeks and their most striking works of architecture they would all clearly be shown to have cost less labor and money than this labyrinth. Yet the temple at Ephesus and that in Samos are surely remarkable. The pyramids too were greater than words can tell and each of them is the equivalent of many of the great works of the Greeks; but the labyrinth surpasses the pyramids also. It has 12 roofed courts with doors facing one another 6 to the north and 6 to the south and in a continuous line. There are double sets of chambers in it some underground and some above and their number is 3000; there are 1500 of each. We ourselves saw the aboveground chambers for we went through them so we can talk of them but the underground chambers we can speak of only from hearsay. For the officials of the Egyptians entirely refused to show us these saying that there were in them the coffins of the kings who had built the labyrinth at the beginning and also those of the holy crocodiles. So we speak from hearsay of these underground places; but what we saw aboveground was certainly greater than all human works. The passages through the rooms and the winding goings-in and out through the courts in their extreme complication caused us countless marvelings as we went through from the court into the rooms and from the rooms into the pillared corridors and then from these corridors into other rooms again and from the rooms into other courts afterwards. The roof of the whole is stone as the walls are and the walls are full of engraved figures and each court is set round with pillars of white stone very exactly fitted. At the corner where the labyrinth ends there is nearby a pyramid 240 feet high and engraved with great animals. The road to this is made underground.<br><br> Such was the labyrinth; but an even greater marvel is what is called Lake Moeris beside which the labyrinth was built. The circuit of this lake is a distance of about 420 miles which is equal to the whole seaboard of Egypt. The length of the lake is north and south and its depth at the deepest is 50 fathoms 300 feet. That it is handmade and dug it itself is the best evidence. For in about the middle of the lake stand 2 pyramids that top the water each one by 50 fathoms 300 feet and each built as much again underwater; and on top of each there is a huge stone figure of a man sitting on a throne. So these pyramids are 100 fathoms 600 feet high and these 100 fathoms are the equivalent of a 600-foot furlong the fathom measuring 6 feet or four cubits the cubit being six spans. The water in the lake is not fed with natural springs for the country here is terribly waterless but it enters the lake from the Nile by a channel; and for 6 months it flows into the lake and then another 6 it flows again into the Nile. During the 6 months that it flows out it brings into the royal treasury each day a silver talent for the fish from it; and when the water flows in it brings 20 minas a day."<BR><BR>Despite many archelogical surveys being conducted at site no evidence of the Labyrinth has been confirmed till today. The French text along the sides also includes a brief description of the Labyrinth. <br><br>The map appears in the 1761 edition of "Atlas Methodique et Elementaire de Geographie et d'Histoire" published by Louis Charles Desnos. The map is in good condition with minor wear along the original centerfold and minor spotting. Some edge wear. Stain in lower margin not affecting printed image. Original plate mark is visible. <br><br>Louis Charles Desnos 1725 - 1805 was a cartographer and globe maker from Paris France. He was the Royal Globe Maker for the King of Denmark Christian VII and published a large number of maps during his time.<br/><br/> Louis Charles Desnos unknown books

9885DOCUMENTS. " Doctrines - Archéologie - Beaux-Arts - Ethnographie " puis (à partir du n° 4 de 1929) " Archéologie - Beaux-Arts - Ethnographie - Variétés ". " Magazine illustré paraissant dix fois par an ". Paris (39, rue La Boétie, puis (à partir du n° 5 de 1929) 106, boulevard Saint-Germain). Secrétaire général : Georges Bataille. In-4° broché. Environ 70 pages par numéro (pagination continue d'un numéro au suivant). Impression sur papier couché. 15 numéros ont paru en 15 livraisons, d'avril 1929 à [automne] 1930. La première année (1929) compte 7 numéros ; la seconde année (1930) en compte 8. (Destribats, 292) /// Georges Bataille crée DOCUMENTS après sa rupture avec le mouvement surréaliste (et surtout avec André Breton de façon personnelle). C'est la première revue que Bataille - enclin aux communions et aux uvres collectives - dirige. DOCUMENTS s'oppose au surréalisme par son anti-idéalisme. Il instaure un nouveau rapport aux savoirs et aux images. Il propose une approche transversale des arts et des savoirs et réunit des disciplines habituellement étrangères les unes aux autres. Cela donne lieu à des rapprochements inattendus et lumineux. L'objectivité scientifique, suggérée par la neutralité du titre DOCUMENTS, a ses limites : la revue est pleine des thèmes obsessionnels qui fondent l'uvre de Bataille. Déjà point en certaines de ses pages ce qui deviendra, en 1937, le Collège de Sociologie. /// L'image occupe une place importante dans la revue DOCUMENTS. Reproductions d'uvres d'arts primitifs voisinant avec celles d'artistes d'avant-garde, documents ethnographiques, images en décalage ou en rapport critique avec le texte qu'elles illustrent, rapprochements inattendus d'images complémentaires, images curieuses ou délibérément choquantes. La photographie est mise en valeur : le papier couché de fort grammage favorise son impression ; la reproduction à pleine page est fréquente et lui donne une grande puissance. Jacques-André Boiffard est le photographe attitré de la revue. Ses photographies sont extraordinaires. Eli Lotar aussi collabore à DOCUMENTS. En novembre 1929, dans le n° 6, paraissent ses photographies devenues les plus célèbres - celles qu'il fit aux abattoirs de la Villette pour illustrer l'article " Abattoir " de Georges Bataille.
