- 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

Acquaforte, 1656 circa, con coloritura coeva dei contorni, in buone condizioni.Esemplare del secondo stato di tre, con l’aggiunta dell’imprint di Jacques Lagniet e la data del 1661.La mappa proviene dal rarissimo foglio intitolato “L’Afrique Par le Sieur Du Val Geographe Ord. du Roy a Paris”, dal quale è stato ritagliato all’epoca - come anche certificato dalle antiche iscrizioni a inchiostro su alcune delle mappe - venendo applicato su un supporto di carta contemporanea, a formare un piccolo atlante in-sedicesimo oblungo.Secondo Philip Burden (che descrive l’analogo foglio sull’America) lo scopo di questa rara curiosità cartografica di Pierre Duval non è noto. Fa parte di un insieme di quattro tavole raffiguranti i continenti. Può essere datato, per motivi cartografici, all’incirca nel 1656. (cfr. Burden, The Mapping of North America, pagg. 417-418, n. 322).Richard Betz descrive 3 stati di questo foglio dell’Africa: senza la data, con l’indirizzo di Jacques Lagniet e la data del 1661, e uno successivo che presenta tracce di cancellazione del menzionato indirizzo.“This is an unusual map sheet by Pierre Duval depicting a map of the entire African continent and 14 reagional maps of Africa. […] This map of Africa is part of a set of four continent maps with regional maps procuded by Duval, all of which are scarce. […] Considering the small size of the map, Duval was able to supply a surprisngly high degree of detail to it. Duval used his unclu Nicolas Sanson’s 1650 map of Africa as his model, though in this map, Duval omits the lake in the Abyssinian highlands that was to eventually became Lake Tana, the source for the Blue Nile river. (cf. Betz, The Mapping of Africa, pp. 294, 295).Secondo Betz, l’unico esemplare del primo stato è conservato nella collezione della British Library, mentre sono note 3 copie del secondo stato (Bibliotheque National de France, McLaughlin Map Collection e nella collezione Antiquariat Haas - ora venduto). Etching, circa 1656, with contemporary outline colour, good condition.Example of the second state of three, with the imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661.The map comes from the very rare sheet entitled “L’Afrique Par le Sieur Du Val Geographe Ord. du Roy a Paris”, from which it was cut at the time and laid down on contemporary laid paper support, to form a small atlas, as certified by the ancient ink inscriptions on some of the maps.According with Philip Burden “The purpose of this rare curiosity by Pierre Duval is not known. It forms part of a set of the four known continents. It can be dated to apporximately 1656 […] The second state bears the additional imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661”. (cf. Burden, The Mapping of North America, pp. 417-418, n. 322). Richard Betz describes 3 states of this broadsheet: without the date, with the imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661, and with traces of erasure on his address. “This is an unusual map sheet by Pierre Duval depicting a map of the entire African continent and 14 reagional maps of Africa.

(cf.

Acquaforte, 1656 circa, con coloritura coeva dei contorni, in buone condizioni.Esemplare del secondo stato di tre, con l’aggiunta dell’imprint di Jacques Lagniet e la data del 1661.La mappa proviene dal rarissimo foglio intitolato “L’Afrique Par le Sieur Du Val Geographe Ord. du Roy a Paris”, dal quale è stato ritagliato all’epoca - come anche certificato dalle antiche iscrizioni a inchiostro su alcune delle mappe - venendo applicato su un supporto di carta contemporanea, a formare un piccolo atlante in-sedicesimo oblungo.Secondo Philip Burden (che descrive l’analogo foglio sull’America) lo scopo di questa rara curiosità cartografica di Pierre Duval non è noto. Fa parte di un insieme di quattro tavole raffiguranti i continenti. Può essere datato, per motivi cartografici, all’incirca nel 1656. (cfr. Burden, The Mapping of North America, pagg. 417-418, n. 322).Richard Betz descrive 3 stati di questo foglio dell’Africa: senza la data, con l’indirizzo di Jacques Lagniet e la data del 1661, e uno successivo che presenta tracce di cancellazione del menzionato indirizzo.“This is an unusual map sheet by Pierre Duval depicting a map of the entire African continent and 14 reagional maps of Africa. […] This map of Africa is part of a set of four continent maps with regional maps procuded by Duval, all of which are scarce. […] Considering the small size of the map, Duval was able to supply a surprisngly high degree of detail to it. Duval used his unclu Nicolas Sanson’s 1650 map of Africa as his model, though in this map, Duval omits the lake in the Abyssinian highlands that was to eventually became Lake Tana, the source for the Blue Nile river. (cf. Betz, The Mapping of Africa, pp. 294, 295).Secondo Betz, l’unico esemplare del primo stato è conservato nella collezione della British Library, mentre sono note 3 copie del secondo stato (Bibliotheque National de France, McLaughlin Map Collection e nella collezione Antiquariat Haas - ora venduto). Etching, circa 1656, with contemporary outline colour, good condition.Example of the second state of three, with the imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661.The map comes from the very rare sheet entitled “L’Afrique Par le Sieur Du Val Geographe Ord. du Roy a Paris”, from which it was cut at the time and laid down on contemporary laid paper support, to form a small atlas, as certified by the ancient ink inscriptions on some of the maps.According with Philip Burden “The purpose of this rare curiosity by Pierre Duval is not known. It forms part of a set of the four known continents. It can be dated to apporximately 1656 […] The second state bears the additional imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661”. (cf. Burden, The Mapping of North America, pp. 417-418, n. 322). Richard Betz describes 3 states of this broadsheet: without the date, with the imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661, and with traces of erasure on his address. “This is an unusual map sheet by Pierre Duval depicting a map of the entire African continent and 14 reagional maps of Africa.
