- Imprimerie Impériale, Paris 1809-1829, 71x54cm, 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 le

Stato di conservazione: MOLTO BUONO, minimi segni del tempo (ordinario ingiallimento, fioriture), legatura solida e compatta, nessun segno o scritta all'interno. Nuova edizione illustrata da 164 incisioni sopra schizzi di Gustavo Bianchi e d'altri celebri viaggiatori, corredata da una prefazione biografica di A. Brunialti e d'una carta geografica della regione percorsa da G. Bianchi. "Giova ricordare come fin dal 1876 Gustavo Bianchi avesse cercato, come molti altri, che valevano certo più di qualche membro di quella impresa, di unirsi all'Antinori, nella prima spedizione mandata dalla Società geografica italiana nello Scioa. Non riuscì allora, ma poco dopo trovò migliori accoglienze presso la Società di esplorazione commerciale a Milano, la quale mandava, in sulla fine del 1878, una spedizione con intenti principalmente commerciali. Capo di quella spedizione era il Matteucci, ed oltre al Bianchi, ne facevano partire il Legnani di Menaggio ed il Tagliabue di Monza. Partirono il 28 novembre 1878; ma dopo una breve corsa da Massauah a Debra-Tabor, gli altri ritornarono in Italia, e il 26 giugno 1879, Bianchi rimaneva solo a Gondar, capitale dell'Amhara. Il giorno dopo andava al campo dell'imperatore Giovanni di Abissinia e gli presentava le lettere di Matteucci".

- EDIZIONE ORIGINALE, COLORITURA COEVA -Importante e decorativa mappa tratta dal "Nuovo Atlante Geografico Universale delineato sulle ultime osservazioni", edito a Roma dal 1792 fino al 1801, opera che la Calcografia Camerale commissionò al Cassini al fine di sostituire l’ormai obsoleto "Mercurio Geografico".Giovanni Maria Cassini, Chierico Regolare Somasco fu geografo e cartografo, ma anche intagliatore di architetture e prospettive - uno dei migliori discepoli di Giovanni Battista Piranesi - Cassini fu uno degli ultimi sferografi italiani del Settecento ed i suoi globi ebbero una notevole diffusione, come pure questo "Nuovo Atlante Geografico".Incisione in rame, coloritura coeva dei contorni, leggere bruniture, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. L'Atlante del Cassini fu ristampato dalla Calcografia Camerale nel primo quarto del XIX secolo, prima del 1839. Solo gli esemplari di prima edizione come questo sono stampati su carta vergata coeva e sono colorati a mano in epoca. Le tirature del XIX secolo sono già su carta meccanica, priva di vergelle, e generalmente in bianco e nero. - FIRST EDITION, CONTEMPORARY OUTLINE COLOUR -The Italian painter and engraver, Giovanni Maria Cassini, produced this splendid map of as part of his epic three-volume atlas. Published in: Nuovo atlante geografico universale delineato sulle ultime osservazioni. Roma, Calcografia camerale, 1792-1801.Cassini was geographer and cartographer but he was also good at engraving architectural items and perspectives – he was one of the best disciples Giovanni Battista Piranesi had. Moreover, Cassini was one of the last artists to engrave spheres in the XVIII century and his globes were quite famous and widespread, and realized the most important Italian Atlas of the XVIII century; his maps always bear a cartouche, extremely rich in colours and details. Copperplate with fine original hand colour, some foxing, otherwise in very good condition.The Cassini's Atlas was reprinted by the Calcografia Camerale in the first quarter of XIXth century (before 1839). Only the first edition of the atlas is printed on contemporary laid paper, while the late issue are on XIXth century paper and often without colour.
Veduta, antica ed originale, inserita nel VI Tomo ”Atlas Historique ou nouvelle introduction a l’Histoire, à la Chronologie & à la Geographie Ancienne & Moderne…”, pubblicato ad Amsterdam nel 1719. Atlante che, con la sua pubblicazione, coniuga le mappe geografiche con incisioni e informazioni di carattere geografico, araldico, etnografico e storico così rendendo l’opera in sette volumi molto innovativa. Incisione in rame 360x210 mm.Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684 - 1743), pastore ugonotto originario di Parigi visse alternativamente a Parigi, Londra, L'Aia ed Amsterdam. Conosciuto come cartografo olandese per il sua opera cartografica monumentale in sette volumi “Atlas Historique” pubblicata ad Amsterdam con i suoi fratelli. Due vedute incise del Capo di Buona Speranza, con navi olandesi nel porto e il Forte olandese al Capo "Fort Des Hollandois Au Cap De Bonne Esperance". Include il testo descrittivo tra le due vedute
Tratta dall'Atlas Historique, pubblicato ad Amsterdam tra il 1705 e il 1720. L'atlante, in 7 volumi, è innovativo per la sua epoca perché combina le mappe geografiche con incisioni e informazioni di carattere storico, etnografico ed araldico. Incisione in rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684 - 1743) era un pastore ugonotto di origini parigine. È meglio conosciuto come cartografo olandese e più specificamente per il suo contributo cartografico nell’Atlas Historique in sette volumi, pubblicato ad Amsterdam tra il 1705 e il 1720. Innovativo per il suo tempo, l'Atlas Historique combinava incisioni e opere d'arte con studi di geografia, storia, etnologia, araldica e cosmografia. Alcuni studiosi suggeriscono che l'Atlas Historique non fu compilato esclusivamente da Henri Chatelain, come si crede comunemente, ma piuttosto fu un'impresa familiare che coinvolse Henri, suo padre Zacharie e suo fratello, sempre Zacharie. Engraved text page with 5 views of the pyramids and an image of the Sphinx. From Chatelain's monumental 7 volume "Atlas Historique". Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684 - 1743) was a Huguenot pastor of Parisian origins. He is best known as a Dutch cartographer and more specifically for his cartographic contribution in the seminal seven volume Atlas Historique, published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720. Innovative for its time, the Atlas Historique combined fine engraving and artwork with scholarly studies of geography, history, ethnology, heraldry, and cosmography. Some scholarship suggests that the Atlas Historique was not exclusively compiled by Henri Chatelain, as is commonly believed, but rather was a family enterprise involving Henri, his father Zacharie and his brother, also Zacharie. Copper engraving, in excellent condition.
