- Imprimerie Impériale, Paris 1809-1829, 70x53,5cm, 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

1 vol. in-8 br., Imprimerie du Gouvernement Général, Gorée, 1910, 132 pp. Afrique Occidentale Française. Justice Indigène. Jurisprudence de la Chambre d'Homologation publié sous le patronage de M. William Ponty, Gouverneur Général de l'Afrique Occidentale Française, par MM. Gilbert-Desvallons et Edmond Joucla [Edition originale ] Rare exemplaire en bon état (très petit mq. en dos) de cet ouvrage exposant les solutions retenues en matière de justice indigène de l'AOF par la chambre d'homologation. On peut y découvrir par exemple qu'un "inculpé fétichiste [ animiste ]ne peut pas être condamné en vertu d'un texte du coran. La Coutume locale doit seule lui être appliquée." Ou encore, à propos des crimes commis par des chefs indigènes, "antérieurement à notre occupation, les pouvoirs des chefs indigènes n'étaient pas définis et, en général, ces derniers n'avaient pas d'autres droits que ceux qu'ils pouvaient s'arroger selon la puissance dont ils disposaient. En conséquence, si des crimes commis par eux restaient impunis, ce n'était pas en considération de la coutume, mais par l'effet de la terreur qu'inspiraient leurs auteurs. Il n'est dès lors pas possible de dire que les faits reprochés à un chef soient couverts par la coutume" [ ... ] Ou également : "Le suicide n'est pas punissable dans notre droit ; il en est de même de la complicité, l'acte principal manquant. Mais lorsqu'un prévenu a, par ordres et abus d'autorité, déterminé deux jeunes gens à se suicider, il y a lieu de retenir le fait, s'il est réprimé par la coutume locale". Magistrat mais aussi bibliographe, Edmond Joucla finira sa carrière comme directeur au Ministère des Colonies. Français
