180290120Paris: s. n. 1802. Fine. s. n. Paris 1802 13.9 x 20.5 cm Relié First illustrated edition featuring at the end of the volume 12 charming hand-coloured copper engravings depicting fashionable hairstyles and costumes 10 as well as furniture 2.

The work is also illustrated with a portrait of Bonaparte as a frontispiece and one plate hors-texte. Foxing black ink stains to page 81. This work intended for an American readership as stated in the Preface ""L'espèce de journal dont nous offrons ici le premier essai ne contiendra que rarement des analyses d'ouvrages nouveaux mais une suite de morceaux détachés qui nous paraîtront le plus propre à faire connaître au public américain le goût actuel des différentes littératures de l'Europe"" is in fact far more than a literary collection offering a genuine overview of the state of the world political artistic geographical etc. during the Consulate and the rise of the future emperor. Alongside the 12 charming engravings it contains documents which though modest in extent are of considerable interest: a short notice on Toussaint-Louverture just after proclaiming a constitution granting him full powers for life; a portrait of the inhabitants of Benin drawing on the then unique work of Palissot Beauvois; a brief notice on Abbé Sicard educator of the deaf and mute; a ""portrait de Bonaparte"" at the very moment his fame was beginning to spread; an overview of ""Journaux et gazettes politiques dans les États-Unis de l'Amérique""; and various literary pieces. In short a compelling distillation of the spirit of the age. s. n. hardcover

XLVIII 582 pp. First edition of a work on Islamic texts on the Christian crusades by the French orientalist Joseph Toussaint Reinaud 1795-1867. It gives a French translation of numerous texts and extracts relating to the crusades originally written in Arabic from the 11th to the 15th century by Arab historians with occasionally some passages in Arabic in the notes. Most of the texts deal with major battles and sieges Saladin and victories and deaths of important leaders. The preliminaries include brief biographies of some of the major authors including Ali ibn al-Athir Baha ad-Din ibn Shaddad Imad ad-Din al-Isfahani Ibn al-Adim and many more. The texts are arranged into different chapters each devoted to a different stage of the crusades.The book is in fact the publication of a part of the extensive manuscript by Georges-François Berthereau 1732-1794 who collected numerous Arab texts on the crusades but the publication was prohibited during years following the French Revolution. The book was published as a part of the Biblithèque des croisades as an addition to the well-known Histoire des croisades written by Joseph François Michaud 1767-1839.With a stain on the half-title and some staining throughout otherwise in very good condition.l Hage Chahine 3963; not in Blackmer. unknown

Lithographed title page and 48 lithograph plates. Lithographed title page and 48 lithograph plates. First edition. Unbound. <p><br /> Rare and remarkably extensive collection of 48 early lithographs by Frédéric Mialhe Cuba’s master lithographer. “One of the most outstanding enterprises of its kind ever attempted in Cuba.†Cueto<br /> <p><p><br /> A large collection of forty-eight prints of these early lithographs of Cuba created by Cuba’s master lithographer Pierre Toussaint Frédéric Mialhe 1810–1881. Mialhe a French artist and engraver arrived in Havana in 1838 to serve as the landscape painter for the newly established lithographic firm under the auspices of the Real Sociedad Patriótica de la Habana. Soon he produced three sets of lithographs among them the present series Isla de Cuba Pintoresca which as described by Emilio Cueto in his comprehensive book La Cuba pintoresca de Frédéric Mialhe stands out as one of the most outstanding enterprises of its kind ever attempted in Cuba. Mialhe must also be recognized for having been a pioneer in incorporating the use of the newly discovered technique of photography to help his lithographic endeavors. Collaborating with Italian photographer Antonio Rezzonico two of Rezzonico's daguerreotypes the earliest examples of cityscape photography in Cuba were reproduced in this series. <br /> <p><p><br /> Isla de Cuba Pintoresca covers the territories of Pinar del RÃo Havana Matanzas and Santiago de Cuba capturing the essence of mid-19th-century Cuba and offering glimpses of the everyday life on the island. It was originally planned as a set of 48 lithographs sold in installments of four black-and-white views each. The plates were printed at the establishment of the Real Sociedad Patriótica each bearing the title Isla de Cuba pintoresca and printed on two types of paper: simple white paper and China paper sized between 6.5–7 inches by 10–11 inches. <br /> <p><p><br /> Ultimately 49 distinct views were published with Cueto estimating that perhaps no more than 200 copies of the plates were printed. Due to the characteristics and the timeline of the publication spanning from 1839 to 1842 marked by interruptions and uncertainties and counting with the possibility of some prints being issued separately no two copies of this collection are identical. According to Cueto the most complete collection belonging to him comprises 53 plates including variants featuring minor modifications either in the image or in the title followed by the New York Historical Society’s collection which includes 46 plates in fact 47 as it includes a repeated plate. In Havana the National Museum of Fine Arts boasts the largest known collection with 43 plates. The José Martà National Library of Cuba holds 37 plates. Additionally there are only three other institutional collections with more than 25 plates: Yale University 36 plates the Cuban Collection of the University of Miami 32 plates and the Buffalo and Erie County Library 28 plates. The largest collections we have been able to trace at auctions are the Reese copy with 38 plates sold by Christie’s in 2023 and another set also sold by Christie’s in 2023 with 36 views.<br /> <p><p><br /> Our collection remained unbound and untrimmed comprises 48 plates of which one Puente de Almendares appears twice on different papers additionally it includes a title page originally accompanying the 10th installment. Printed on various quality papers the differences in size and condition are explained. The majority are on China paper thus preserved in very good condition while those on simple white paper show more signs of aging. <br /> <p><p><br /> This scarce and exceptionally comprehensive compilation serves as a testament to Mialhe's artistic skill and historical importance.<br /> <p><p><br /> Literature: Cueto E. 2010.
