Jean Chardin 1643-1713 was the son of a wealthy Parisian jeweller. Since he was bent on travelling to the East he proposed to his father to go and set up a diamond-trade with the East. On his first trip in 1665 he travelled through Persia and to Isfahan the Persian capital. There he gained access to the court of Shah Abbas II to whom he became the personal merchant jeweller. After extensive travelling through Persia studying the religion and culture he returned to Paris in 1670. Later in 1671 Chardin left again for the East and meeting with many difficulties and dangers took two years to reach Persia by way of Constantinople and Southern Russia. From Persia he proceeded to India and returned to France by way of the Cape of Good Hope in 1677. Among the numerous fine engravings are folding views of Tiflis Erivan Isfahan Persepolis etc. and some beautiful plates of architecture and costumes. Chardin is one of the most detailed observers of the Gulfs pearl fishing in this period.Each volume with an armorial bookplate on pastedown.

Jean Chardin 1643 – 1713 was a French jeweller and traveler whose ten-volume book The Travels of Sir John Chardin is regarded as one of the finest works of early Western scholarship on Persia and the Near East in general. "Chardin’s massive work along with many other accounts of travel to exotic lands contributed to formation of one of the great streams of European knowledge leading to what Paul Hazard called "la crise de la conscience européenne" and hence to the Enlightenment. Some of his ideas for example on the influence of climate on man had a considerable impact and his work was read and commented on favorably by a number of great 18th-century figures like Charles-Louis de Montesquieu Edward Gibbon Voltaire Jean-Jacques Rousseau and William Jones."
