77742Saint-Cloud Bonaparte 1883. Albumen print 22.4 x 16.7 cm mounted on printed board 40.4 x 31.0 cm. = A very rare original photo of a Native American namely the American Indian chief and civil rights leader Standing Bear or Montchou-Naji also known as Shenou-jinga-va-shushi 1829-1908 at the age of 42. This is number 5 of a series of photos of Omaha Indians. "The Omaha are a federally recognized Midwestern Native American tribe that resides on the Omaha Reservation in northeastern Nebraska and western Iowa United States. The Omaha Indian Reservation lies primarily in the southern part of Thurston County and northeastern Cuming County Nebraska but small parts extend into the northeast corner of Burt County and across the Missouri River into Monona County Iowa. Its total land area is 796.355 km2 and a population of 5194 was recorded in the 2000 census. . The Omaha developed an extensive trading network with early European explorers and French Canadian voyageurs. They controlled the fur trade and had access to other tribes on the Upper Missouri River. Omaha Nebraska the largest city in Nebraska is named after them. Never known to take up arms against the U.S. the Omaha assisted the U.S. during the American Civil War" Wikipedia. According to Bonaparte there were 1121 Omaha in 1883. These ethnographic albumen prints of Native Indians were commissioned by Prince Roland Napoléon Bonaparte 1858-1924 and photographed by Alfred Ayotte.

in un unico volume in dodicesimo, di dimensioni 14 x 21,5 cm circa, sono state rilegate due importanti opere in lingua francese. Trattano ambedue la vicenda storica - giudiziaria dei generali protagonisti della rivoluzione francese: Jean Victor Marie Moreau (Morlaix, 4 febbraio 1763 – Laun, 2 settembre 1813) e Jean-Charles Pichegru (Arbois, 16 febbraio 1761 – Parigi, 5 aprile 1804). Questi due generali, eroi della Rivoluzione Francese, furono rivali di Napoleone Bonaparte e ciò comportò per entrambi processi, esilio ed incarcerazione. Tutto ruota intorno alla vicenda del colpo di Stato denominato "18 fructidor". All'interno del volume si trova rilegata, per prima, un'opera mancante del frontespizio. Tale opera inizia dalla pagina numero uno (con titolo "Pichegru et Moreau", un passo di Cicerone e l'inizio della trattazione). Dal confronto del testo con quello pubblicato su Google libri, abbiamo dedotto che tale opera sia intitolata "PICHEGRU ET MOREAU / au 18 fructidor an V". Non conosciamo con certezza l'anno di pubblicazione e la stamperia in quanto l'edizione proposta da Google non corrisponde (per l'impaginazione del testo) alla nostra e riporta, in appendice, altri due opere complementari ("de la conjuration de ce dernier, pendant les années 3, 4 et 5" e "Correspondance des nommés Drake et Spencer-Smith") non presenti nel nostro esemplare. Si presume, comunque, che sia risalente al 1804. La completezza dell'opera in nostro possesso è garantita dalla dicitura "FIN" posta a pagina 59 (l'ultima stampata). La seconda opera rilegata nel volume (questa volta completa di frontespizio) riporta il titolo "RECUEIL DES INTERROGATOIRES SUBIS PAR LE GENERAL MORESU, Des interrogatoires de quelques-uns de ses co-accusés, des procès-verbaux de confrontation, et autres pièces produites au soutien de l'accusation dirigée contre ce général". Paris, de l'imprimerie impériale. Data: Prairial an XII [maggio/giugno 1804]. Numero di pagine: VI + 181. Stato di conservazione: Leggero alone causato da pregressa umidità sul dorso della coperta, una piega verticale sul piatto anteriore, irregolarità dei margini delle pagine (tipiche della carta fatta a mano), rare ed insignificanti strappetti e piccole mancanze marginali, ordinari, leggeri ingiallimenti di alcune carte, uno strappo senza mancanza (unico e vero difetto significativo) sul foglio che contiene le due pagine 57 e 58 (che non preclude minimamente la lettura del testo). Sicuramente documenti assai rari e di importante interesse storico documentaristico.

Consul in Leghorn Italy to Thomas Aspinwall the American Consul in London requesting Aspinwall's assistance in publishing the manuscript written by Louis Bonaparte entitled Documens historiques et réflexions sur le gouvernement de la Hollande.

Appleton expresses the importance of the work and how it will be avidly received by the world being "the most important work offered to the press during the revolution". Appleton cautions confidentiality repeatedly "although it does not contain a sentence that would cause the slightest umbrage" and says that Napoleon will pay for the printing but that it may be advisable to try more than one printer "in order to excite a competition". The letter goes on to stipulate that the author requires "one hundred copies such as shall be printed for sale and twenty-five other copies to be handsomely bound & printed on 'grand et beau papier velin'. . . The author gives his sacred word of honor that on other person but myself is in possession of the work nor shall it be given to any one but to the person whom I may dispose of it who shall when paid for by him be the compleat & sole proprietor of this work." It continues with mention of compensation to Aspinwall and other details The first edition of Louis Bonaparte's three volume work appeared in Paris in 1820 followed quickly with editions printed in Ghent Brussels and Bruges the same year.

He was also an important collector of Americana while in Europe and a catalogue of his collection was published in Paris in 1833. Much of the collection which included a Columbus Letter was purchased en-bloc by Samuel Barlow and can be found listed in the noted Bibliotheca Barlowiana published in 1864 and again in 1889. Napoleon proclaimed his brother Louis King of Holland in 1806. From the first the emperor reproached him for being too easy on his subjects. By 1809 Napoleon was considering annexing Holland in order to arrest the trade the Dutch secretly conducted with England. In 1810 failing to negotiate successfully with either England or Louis the Emperor dispatched French troops against the Dutch capital. Louis abdicated and fled his kingdom which on July 9 Napoleon annexed to France. Styling himself the Comte de Saint-Leu Louis lived for some time in Bohemia Austria and Switzerland. He spent his later life in Italy largely occupied with literary pursuits. Carl Canon American Book Collectors pp. 66 103.
