185973489Paris: Disdéri 1859. Fine. Disdéri Paris 1859 6.20 x 10.50 cm une photographie Original albumen photograph of Napoleon III in carte-de-visite format mounted on cardboard. The photograph bears Disderi's name at the bottom. Phot. On the reverse: Disderi photographer to the Emperor. Boulevard des Capucines. Rare photograph among the very first of the Emperor showing a mocking and playful Napoleon III smoothing his mustache seated on a large damask armchair in a deliberate and studied posture. There exist slightly different versions of this sitting as Disdéri had not only invented the carte-de-visite format process he filed the patent for carte-de-visite photography in 1854 but had also developed a device that allowed taking several photographs simultaneously and thus capturing several poses in the same session. The biographical legend of the Emperor tells that in 1859 the Emperor then 51 years old stopped at Disdéri's shop while departing for his Italian campaign. Following this sitting and the release of the Emperor's photographs carte-de-visite photography swept through Paris and all studios began practicing this technique since this is one of the first photographs in carte-de-visite format.

1871013873London: Published by the author printed by Spottiswoode & Co 1871. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Nobleman author's vanity binding of his ant-Darwin treatise with complimentary ALS from Darwin's publisher John Murray PM Gladstone Napoleon III Times publisher John Walter and 37 others bound-in. 8vo custom contemporary binding likely commissioned by the Baron himself in polished grey full leather gilt ruled covers front hinge recently repaired 137 pages of text followed by 41 ALS bound-in and in the rear 6 pages one-sided of a pasted-in newspaper review of the book from an unidentified publication. The review observes that Sir Walsh "found it necessary in drawing a parallel between astronomy and geology to allude to Darwin and Buckle Lord Ornathwaite makes their theories the subject of severe criticism." The ALS's bound-in are from peers and public figures variously complimenting Sir Walsh on his work many agreeing with the intellectual aspersions that Sir Walsh heaps on Darwin. Gladstone admits to not being particularly familiar with Darwin's work but posits nevertheless that evolutionary theory tears away at the "fabric of belief". But it is John Murray Darwin's own publisher who is shameless in criticizing the most famous author he will have published: "Although I happen to publish the works both of Buckle & Darwin I do not hesitate to myself a sceptic in the theories of both & I hope one day to see these fallacies exploded & should not be sorry to aid in this result." Most of the letters are on baronial estate or residential letterhead and bound-in chronologically from the end of 1871 through July 1872.

Bound in half red shagreen spine decorated with blind tooling Palais de Compiègne gold stamped at the head of the spine Napoleon III's monogram gold stamped on the spine marbled paper boards marbled endpapers contemporary binding. Some minor foxing. ""Bibliothèque de la Couronne - Compiègne stamp on the title page. Our copy unlike those placed in the national collection when the Palais de Compiègne library disbanded does not have the dépôt de l'État 1891 stamp. The Palais de Compiègne library entirely refurnished by Napoleon III was a truly sociable venue for the emperor's guests who borrowed novels magazines and newspapers. An entertaining hand-written loan register has been digitized by the National Library of France. After the fall of the Second Empire the third Republic allowed the library which was then open to the Compiègne public to remain for sometime according to the memories of Jules Troubat the former Sainte-Beuve secretary and the last librarian at the Palais. The decree of 16 January 1888 ordered the library to be permanently closed and emptied of its contents. One part of the collection - around 10000 works - are given to the Compiègne municipal library in 1891. In March 1918 the town of Compiègne was bombed and evacuated; the books were then left open to the elements. It was not until the end of May 1918 that a librarian acting with the army evacuated the works that remained intact but was unable to deal with the books that had suffered damage. This part of the collection will later be sorted and sold by weight. We have only been able to find one work from the Palais de Compiègne library on public sale a Description of Egypt auctioned in 2014. Beautiful and rare copy of renowned provenance with Napoleon III's monogram and one of the rare works to have not made it to the national collection when the Palais de Compiègne library was dismantled in 1891.
