He designed etched and engraved numerous landscapes and views decorating them with small figures minutely drawn and touched with uncommon spirit. His merit recommended him to Louis XIV. who employed him in designing and engraving views of royal palaces public festivals and the places Louis had conquered.

1640710661640. Paris um 1640-1660. Kupferstich. Plattengröße 130 × 249 mm; Blattgröße 144 x 259 mm. - "Israel Silvestre delin. et fe." "Israel excud. cum privil. Regis". Weitwinklige Außenansicht der Kapelle des Hôpital Saint-Louis vor der Porte du Temple die Kirche in leicht schräger Frontalansicht umgeben von einfachen Gebäuden und freiem Gelände; im Vordergrund Figurenstaffage mit Passanten und Kranken die den hospitalen Kontext andeuten. Die Kapelle erscheint als schlichter spät-renaissancezeitlicher Bau mit klassizierender Fassadengliederung in noch wenig überbauter Umgebung. Frühe topographische Vedute der Kapelle des 1607-1610 gegründeten Pest- und Seuchenhospitals Saint-Louis die das Hospital als königliche Stiftung Heinrichs IV. extra muros und als Ort der Fürsorge für "ceaux qui sont attaquez de la maladie contagieuse" ausweist. Innerhalb der Ikonographie des Hôpital Saint-Louis gehört das Blatt zu den frühesten bildlichen Zeugnissen die das Ensemble in ländlicher Randlage zeigen und betont die Kapelle als geistlich-symbolisches Zentrum des Hospitals lange bevor spätere Darstellungen das dicht bebaute Krankenhausareal dokumentieren. Im Ouvre Silvestres steht die Ansicht in einer Reihe von Pariser Hospital- und Kirchenveduten u. a. Quinze-Vingts und macht das Hôpital Saint-Louis ikonographisch zu einem repräsentativen vom König gestifteten Gnaden- und Seuchenbau.

1680858P33London: R. Janeway 1680. Disbound. Good. 11.5" by 7.5". None. A very scarce contemporary pamphlet condemning the fictitious Popish Plot and those involved. Very scarce.ESTC citation number R28265. This is the variant with 'Sr. Germain's' to page 6 line 13 and 'French Kings' to the final complete line of text on page 9.Collated complete.A detailed explanation of the Popish Plot written and published whilst the Plot was still unfolding in England and Scotland. This volume takes the view that the Popish Plot was real laying out the evidence against the men involved.This work is sometimes attributed to Ezerel Tonge also spelt as Israel Tonge. He was an informer in and likely one of the inventors of the Popish Plot. He was a paranoid figure and staunchly anti-Catholic working in allegiance with Oates. though it has never been made clear whether Tonge believed Oates' lies or whether he was also a perjurer. The Popish Plot was a fictitious conspiracy formed by Titus Oates in which he alleges that there was a Catholic conspiracy to assassinate Charles II. This led to a fraught anti-Catholic hysteria in England and Scotland. At least 22 men were executed on Oates' accusations. Unbound as issued. Internally firmly bound. Pages are a little age-toned with only a few light spots and handling mark. Tide mark to the tail of the text. Good R. Janeway unknown
161319332Frankfurt 1613. 10 parts in three volumes small folio. Collations below. A few plates shaved along the foredge. Contemporary calf the covers ruled and tooled in gilt spines gilt with raised bands and gilt morocco labels some wear to covers. Bookplates on front pastedowns an occasional blindstamp see below<br/> <br/>Provenance: Earls of Macclesfield<br/> <br/>The fine Macclesfield set of De Bry's 'Petit Voyages' in a contemporary binding. This work is essential to any serious collection of travel books.<br/> <br/>A complete set of the first ten parts of the first Latin edition of the Petit Voyages of De Bry one of the grandest collections of voyages published in the Age of Discovery with all of the hundreds of maps and plates as detailed below. This series of voyages devoted mainly but not entirely to the East Indies was issued concurrently with the same publishers' Grand Voyages which are primarily devoted to the Americas. The present set is without Part XI and XII the latter so rare that even Church lacked much of the text and the appendix to Part I also a legendary rarity. Both of these parts were issued by a different publisher in 1625 and 1628 long after the rest of the series. Almost all sets lack some plates and maps and assembling complete copies has been a passion of collectors since the beginning of the collecting of voyages in the early 19th century. A number of the maps and plates are also highly prized individually which has contributed to parts being disassembled. The Petit Voyages comprise probably the greatest single collection of material on early voyages to the East Indies and are unique in their extraordinary wealth of cartographical and visual material on Africa India the Spice Islands and South Asia. The De Brys' intention as publishers to present an illustrated record sets them apart from other textual voyage collections such as Ramusio or Hakluyt. Their works are a cornerstone of any serious library of travels and voyages. The collations of the parts in the present set agree with those given in Church for the first Latin editions of each part with parts III and IX being the second issues of the first edition. Full titles and bibliographical details can be found in Church. A summary of the parts and their contents follow: Part I Vera Descriptio Regni Africani 1598. First edition. Fourteen plates and two maps on three sheets. Fillipo Pigafetta's description of the Congo describing Odoardo Lopez' voyage there in 1578 probably the most important early description of central Africa. Church 205. Part II Pars Indiae Orientalis in qua Johan. Hugonis Linscotani navagatio in Orientem 1599. First edition. Thirty-nine plates three maps and portrait of Linschoten at the head of the preface. Linschoten's famous voyages to the East of 1583-92 were published by De Bry the year after they first appeared as a separate book. Church 207. Part III Tertia Pars Indiae Orientalis. 1601. First edition second issue without the map of Nova Zembla on the verso of plate 58. Sixty plates and three maps. In this copy the plates are bound before the text. The large folding map "Descriptio Hydrographica" shows the eastern hemisphere and the routes to the east around Africa. This is a highly important piece of cartography. The rest of Linschoten Cornelius de Houtman's pioneering voyage to the East Indies of 1595-97 instrumental in opening the spice trade to the Dutch and Gerit de Veer's voyage in search of a northeast passage in 1594-96 are included. The plates show scenes in the East as well as Veer's tragic experiences in Spitzbergen where his expedition was attacked by polar bears. Church 209. Part IV Pars Quarta Indiae Orientalis. 1601. First edition. Twenty-one plates image in plate 20 printed upside down. Linschoten and Houtman's voyages concluded and the voyage of Jacob von Neck and Wybrandt van Warwijck to the East Indies in 1598-99. As in the two previous parts most of the plates are scenes in the East Indies. Church 211. Part V Quinta Pars Indiae Orientalis. 1601. Sole edition first issue.Twenty plates. More material on Von Neck and the establishment of Dutch power in Bantam. Church 212. Part VI Indiae Orientalis Pars VI. 1604. Sole edition first issue. Twenty-six plates. Pieter de Maree's description of Guinea in 1600 and other early voyages to Guinea by the Portuguese Dutch and French. This whole section therefore relates to the Gold and Slave coasts of Africa and the growing European trading presence there which laid the foundation for the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Church 213. Part VII Indiae Orientalis Pars Septima. 1606. Sole edition first issue. Twenty-two plates. Joris von Spilbergen's voyage to Ceylon in 1601-4 and Gasparo Balbi's voyage to Pegu via Syria in 1579-88. This part is mainly devoted to India and Ceylon with excellent plates of the latter. Church 216. Part VIII Indiae Orientalis Pars Octava. 1607. Sole edition first issue. Eighteen plates. A collection of five Dutch voyages to the East Indies 1600-6 including trips to China and the Spice Islands all illustrating the rising Dutch power in the East. The plates show various military encounters and a famous double-page plate of Macao. Note that in this copy plate 13 a double-page plate is bound in between plates 11 and 12 i.e. on the verso of plate 11 and on the conjoined leaf. Church 218. Part IX Indiae Orientalis Pars Nona. 1612. First edition second issue. Seventeen plates. A world map appears on the supplementary title to the extra plates section. This part describes the voyage of Admiral Pieter Willemsz to the Spice Islands to seize them from the Portuguese written by one of the officers on the expedition. Church 221. Part X Indiae Orientalis Pars X. 1613. First edition. Three plates and three maps. This part is important on several accounts. The first section gives one of the first published accounts of Hudson Bay describing the explorations of Henry Hudson. The most important of these is the map showing Henry Hudson's explorations which was first published the year before by Hessel Gerritsz in Amsterdam. It is the first map of Hudson Bay and the adjacent country and is present here in a slightly reduced version of Gerritsz's map with the name of the island "Frisland" clearly engraved see Burden. The double-page map shows Hudson's Bay in the west and stretches all the way east to include Ireland and Iceland. Befitting Hudson's extensive explorations the coast line of Hudson Bay is quite detailed and accurate place names are noted and islands in the bay are shown. Hudson did make mistakes however in his charting of the southern part of the bay in a rectangular shape. "This map serves as the foundation piece to Canada's basic economic history. It served as the only functional chart to the northern regions of Canada for several decades and enabled the successful establishment of the Hudson Bay Company which was to dominate trade exploration and the economic development of Canada for a long time" - Kershaw. The second section of Part X of De Bry describes other voyages to the North by Linschoten while the third section relates to De Quiros and his supposed discovery of a new continent "Terra Australis Incognita." The other two maps relate to a search for a Northeast passage. Church 222. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the great monuments of early travel literature.<br/> <br/>Church as cited above.

16407381640. Etching on hand made cream laid paper 2 7/8 x 6 1/4 inches 72 x158 mm 1/4 inch margins. In very good condition with minor edge wear. Adhered with adhesive along the left top sheet edge to an oblong archival paper matrix. <br /> <br /> This impression is a reverse image copy of the original work from Silvestre's series of 12 etchings entitled Antiche et moderne vedute di Roma first published around 1640. Subsequent to its initial publication the edition was republished with the image in reverse by Melchoir Kusel in the later part of the 17th century and by renowned British publisher Thomas Major in the middle part of the 18th century. Given the nature of the paper and the lack of text in the image we believe this to be a 18th century impression perhaps from the edition published by Thomas. unknown

1628376954Frankfurt 1628. First editions. 13 parts bound in 3 volumes. 290 engraved maps and plates. Detailed collations below. 3 vols. Folio. Modern calf covers bordered in blind spine with raised bands in six compartments ruled in blind and decorated and lettered in gilt. Some maps expertly repaired some leaves expertly remargined some leaves maps variably toned and supplied. First editions. 13 parts bound in 3 volumes. 290 engraved maps and plates. Detailed collations below. 3 vols. Folio. A first edition set of the Petit Voyages of De Bry one of the grandest collections of voyages published in the Age of Discovery. This series of voyages issued concurrently with the same publisher's "Grand Voyages" primarily devoted to the Americas comprises the greatest single collection of early voyages to the East Indies and holds a wealth of cartographical and visual material on Africa India America South Asia and the Middle East including the first Latin translation of Gasparo Balbi's travelogue Viaggio dell' Indie Orientali.<br /> <br /> The present set the first Latin editions is virtually complete lacking only the two maps to Part XII so rare that even Church lacked them; he also lacked much of the text of Part XII present here. Indeed Part XII and the Appendix to Part I are so rare as to be virtually unobtainable both issued by a different publisher in 1628 and 1625 respectively long after the rest of the series had been disseminated. <br /> <br /> Two parts warrant specific note for their importance in the historiography of the Arabian Peninsula. Part VII includes the Middle East travelogue of Gasparo Balbi 1550-1623 the Venetian state jeweller and merchant "the first writer to record the place names between al-Qatif and Oman that are still in use today" Geoffrey R. King "The Coming of Islam and the Islamic Period in the UAE" United Arab Emirates A New Perspective 2001 p. 74. This constitutes the earliest printed source for the place names along the coast of the UAE Qatar and Oman. It was first published in 1590 as Viaggio dell' Indie Orientali making this the second time it appeared in print and the first Latin translation. Balbi's account contains much information for merchants including rates of exchange duties travel routes distances and pearling grounds.<br /> <br /> The first Dutch trading expedition to the East Indies from 1595 to 1597 led by Cornelius de Houtman forms Part III. The comprehensive map Descriptio Hydrographica accommodata ad Battavorum navigatione in Javam insulam Indiae orien first published in 1599 shows Houtman's route and includes the Arabian Peninsula in its entirety with numerous places identified along the coast.<br /> <br /> Many of the maps and plates from the work are highly prized individually which has contributed to copies being disassembled and consequently copies are often found lacking maps or plates. The bibliographical understanding of this work is extremely complex thus discrepancies within references are often found. However remarkably the collations of the parts in the present set largely agree with those given in Church for the first Latin editions of each part.<br /> <br /> The Petit Voyages comprise probably the greatest single collection of material on early voyages to the East Indies and are unique in their extraordinary wealth of cartographical and visual material on Africa India the Spice Islands and South Asia.

Fair because of all the repairs trimming and reconstruction. 4 parts or volumes now bound in 2 volumes of the 12 parts or volumes which constitute de Bry's "Petits Voyages" on travels mostly to the East Indies and elsewhere in Asia Africa and the Middle East all of which were published between 1598 and 1628.

Armorial bookplate Henry Howard of Graystoke in both volumes as well as a later small nameplate "EHH" mounted on both bookplates. At some point the text and plates in these volumes were carefully and painstakingly repaired and reconstructed leaf by leaf from a damaged copy. A large percentage of the leaves have been trimmed mounted remargined etc. with some loss of text or portions of illustrations. The result is a serviceable copy with all illustrations and text appearing to be there often with some loss though not enough to say that anything is completely missing.

1606K8NDD6WJMUR8Frankfurt: Wolfgang Richter 1606. 20th-century half green morocco title in gold on spine marbled sides and endpapers. Folio 32.5 x 20 cm. With the letterpress title within an engraved architectural border an individual letterpress title-page for the Icones an engraved coat of arms on the dedication leaf 20 engravings in text and 2 double-page engraved plates. First edition of the Latin translation of book seven of Théodore de Bry's Petits voyages the greatest single collection of material on early voyages to the East Indies which is considered unique in its extraordinary wealth of cartographical and visual material. Crucially this much-sought volume includes Gasparo Balbi's groundbreaking account of the Middle East first published in 1590 as Viaggio dell' Indie Orientali - a mere 16 years before this present edition making this the second appearance in print altogether and the first Latin translation. Balbi a Venetian jewel merchant travelled extensively in the Arabian Peninsula in search of precious stones. From Venice he sailed for Aleppo proceeding to Bir and from there overland to Baghdad descending the Tigris to Basra where he embarked for India. While in the Persian Gulf he studied the pearl industry noting that the best pearls were to be found at Bahrain and Julfar. He refers to islands in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi including Sir Bani Yas and Das and to several coastal settlements that were to become permanently established such as Dubai and Ras al Khaima. Balbi was the first to record the place names along the coast of modern Qatar the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Practically "none of the names of places on the coast between Qatar and Ras al Khaima occur in other sources before the end of the eighteenth century" Slot. The volume also comprises the account of Joris von Spilbergen's voyage to Ceylon in 1601-1604 with excellent plates.A note with red pencil on the second leaf browned some small spots otherwise in good condition.l Brunet I col. 1334; cf.

This volume covers the first-hand account of Pieter de Marees's first Dutch expedition to Guinea 1600-01. <br> Pieter de Marees' history of Guinea originally published in 1602 is one of the earliest detailed European descriptions of West African society and an essential reference for the precolonial period. De Marees wrote primarily about the Gold Coast Ghana but his work also covers Cape Verde Senegal. This work he "discusses the Slave Coast and the Portuguese participation in the traffic".

162740628Frankfurt 1627. 15 1/8 x 12 7/16. Copper engraved map. Uncoloured on laid paper. The first Modern European map of India.<br/> <br/> Copper engraved map of modern-day India Pakistan and Bangladesh published by Wilhelm Fitzer the successor to Johann Theodor de Bry 1561-1623 and Johann Israel de Bry 1565-1609 the sons of Theodor de Bry. This version of the map includes the original Mughal seal with its contents in Persian Script. The map is closely related to that of William Baffin its use of original script in Jahangir's dynastic seal in the upper right precludes the De Bry edition having been derived directly from the printed Baffin map. Baffin is widely understood to be the author of the manuscript map on which the printed map is based having prepared it for Sir Thomas Roe's 1617 geographical commpendium on India. Susan Gole in Early Maps of India lists six states or editions of the Baffin map of India but did not record the present version. A comparison of this edition with the original Baffin and Purchas edition suggests that the Purchas was followed most closely with some material changes to toponyms such as "The Gate" having been replaced by "Porta Suretana". The map appears in the very rare Volume XII the penultimate volume of De Bry's "Petite" Voyages which was first published in 1627.<br/> <br/> Susan Gole Early Maps of India refers. unknown
