Hoch- und Querformat. (ca. 11,5 x 8,9 cm). 10 Photographien. Original-Photographien mit teils schwarzem Bildrand, Rückseiten vereinzelt mit Notat. Photographien gut erhalten, leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Altersentsprechend guter Zustand. Die Aufnahmen haben sämtlich das selbe Format und fotografische Bildqualität, auch der schwarze Bildrand ist identisch. Eine der Aufnahmen enthält auf der Rückseite den Stempel: "Oelpalme Vorwerk Muanga". Die anderen Aufnahmen enthalten leider nur Ziffern oder in einem Fall die Bemerkung "Doppel". Muanga wird in zeitgenössischen Schriften in einem Zuge mit den Orten rund um das Kamerungebirge genannt. Konkret wird der Ort mit der 'Westafrikanischen Pflanzungsgesellschaft Victoria' in Verbindung gebracht. Diese koloniale Pflanzungsgesellschaft war in Kamerun tätig. Da die Photographien zudem aus einer privaten Sammlung stammen, welche sich insbesondere auf Südkamerun konzentrierte, ist hier höchstwahrscheinlich von Plantagengebieten im Süden Kameruns auszugehen. Die historischen Aufnahmen stammen aus der deutschen Kolonialzeit selbst. Erst mit Kriegsverlauf ab August 1914 wurden die Gebiete enteignet und anderen Kolonialmächten übergeben, wobei auch die genannte Pflanzungsgesellschaft in den 1920er Jahren die verlorenen Plantagen teils zurückkaufen und fortgesetzt bewirtschaften konnte. Die sehr interessanten Ansichten zeigen Pflanzungen, zahlreiche hohe Palmen, Flüsse und Gewässer, teils mit kleinen schmalen Booten. Auf mehreren Aufnahmen sind auch afrikanische Arbeiter auf den Plantagengebieten zu sehen. Hervorhebenswert und für weitere Auseinandersetzung sicher auch aufschlußreich ist jene Aufnahme, welche koloniale Gebäude entlang von Bahnschienen zeigt. Es sind hierauf mehrere Arbeiter neben kleinen Containern (kippbar) zu sehen. Hier handelt es sich wohl um eine zur Plantage gehörende Kleinbahn, im Falle der Westafrikanischen Pflanzungsgesellschaft wäre dies die sogenannte Victoria-Pflanzungsbahn. Historische Bilder mit konkreten Bezügen zur Kolonial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte im heutigen Kamerun!

Una bella mappa dell'Africa Meridionale, a sud dell'equatore, che incluso tutto il Madagascar, con due interessanti inserti del Capo di Buona Speranza, negli angoli in basso. La carta si basa sulla mappa di Visscher del 1710.Incisione in rame in perfette condizioni, ricca di dettagli e con colorazione originale. A fine map of Africa south of the Equator including all of Madagascar, with two interesting insets of the Cape of Good Hope. At left is a plan of Table Bay with an elevation of Table Mountain, and at right is a large plan of the Cape Colony with extensive detail and fairly accurate topographical information including the names of early landowners. The main part of the map includes the various native kingdoms of the interior and what was known then of the coastline, much of which is fictitious. The cartography is based on Visscher's map of 1710.

- Imprimerie Impériale, Paris 1809-1829, 71x53,5cm, une feuille. - Original, unshaved, full-page etching from the "Imperial edition" of the Description de l'Égypte, or 'Recueil des observations et recherches faites en Égypte pendant l'expédition française, publié par les ordres de Sa Majesté l'Empereur Napoléon le Grand [A Collection of the observations and research carried out in Egypt during the French expedition, published on the orders of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon the Great]'. Produced between February 1802 and 1830 on the orders of Naopleon Bonaparte and published between 1809 and 1828, 1,000 copies were printed and distributed to institutions, on vergé paper with an 'Égypte ancienne et moderne' watermark, visible when held up to the light. Light marginal spotting not touching image, otherwise in very fresh, fine condition. An engraving from the Description de l'Egypte, one of the masterpieces of French printing and the birth of a new field: Egyptology. A gigantic survey of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests in 1798 and 1799, the work is divided into 13 volumes of engravings making up 892 plates, of which 72 colored, as well as presenting the splendors of the Egypt of the Pharaohs in 9 volumes. The other volumes discuss natural history and present a fascinating portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Eastern Armies. The 'Egyptian campaign', militarily a disaster, demonstrates, through the engravings of the Description d'Egypte, the scientific success it nonetheless became thanks to the 167 expert members of the Commission of the Sciences and Arts of the Institut d'Egypte [Egyptian Institute] who followed Napoleon's army. The Institut gathered together in Egypt the mathematician Monge, the chemist Berthollet, the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists, engineers, architects and doctors. They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants. This edition, the so-called "Imperial" edition of the plates for the Description de l'Egypte was printed in four large formats, two of which were specially created for it and christened "Moyen-Egypte" and "Grand-Egypte". A special press was built to print it, the process extending over 20 years, from 1809 to 1829. The "Imperial" edition proved so popular that a second edition, this time in black and white and without the "Egypte ancienne et moderne" watermark - known as the "Royal Edition" - was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke (Paris). The engravings of the Description d'Egypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon, illustrator, diplomat, collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon (the Louvre). His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there, thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte. Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51, reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut d'Egypte, the Natural History Museum's painter H.J. Redouté (brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté, author of Roses), the mineralogist Dolomiue, and the draughtsman Joly, Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When, however, he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798, he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself, he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan. He said that he had crossed "a country that is, apart from its name, entirely unknown to Europeans, and therefore everything was worth describing" (Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant
