When he died at a young age in 1885, his son Mehmet (Pirge) continued to do the affairs of Ismail Usta. The art of knives was thus passed on from father to son.

In-8, demi-percaline chagrinée, titre doré, 103, (1) p. Rare édition originale publiée en août 1809 de ce célèbre pamphlet, critique documentée dirigée contre le blocus continental mis en place par Napoléon. Son épigraphe souvent est citée: "Votre blocus ne bloque point / Et grâce à votre heureuse adresse / Ceux que cous affamez sans cesse / Ne périrons que d'embonpoint". Citoyen helvétique banni de son pays, François d'Ivernois trouva refuge en Angleterre et mit sa plume au service de la couronne, ce qui lui vaut d'être fait "Knight Bachelor" par le roi Georges III. L'adresse de "Londres" a été rageusement raturée dans ce volume. (Goldsmiths'-Kress, n°19774). Bon exemplaire.
