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

185511352Berlin: Oilprinting Storch & Kramer for B. May y Ca. 1855. One of two pirated editions printed in Germany in the 1850's a marvelous album of views based on the work of Cuba's master lithographer Frederic Mialhe depicted in his Viaje Pintoresco al Rededor de la Isla de Cuba Havana 1847-1848; this edition with captions in Spanish only and without vignettes on the maps the other pirated edition was printed in either Berlin or Hamburg with tinted lithographs instead of the color lithographed plates as here the captions were in Spanish English and German and a series of vignettes were printed around the border of the two maps; the lithographs in this issue are much more detailed than in the other pirated edition. <br /> <br /> Perhaps the finest pictorial record of daily life in Cuba in the 19th century with port and city views of Havana countryside scenes a bullfight and a cockfight. This copy with all plates fully and beautifully color lithographed. Sabin 17748 for the other pirated edition which had only 26 plates. Though OCLC locates an equal number of the two editions this colored issue seems to be less common in trade. For an account of Mialhe's original edition which was printed in Cuba and the two German piracies see Emilio Cueto's Mialhe's Colonial Cuba Miami 1994 pp. 73-77. See OCLC: 476499050.<br /> <br /> Oblong 4to. 27 color lithographed plates and color & gold lithographed illustrated title leaf printed rectos only with tissue guards 2 folding maps.

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.
