Warden, WilliamBiblio.com

Letters written on board his majesty's ship the Northumberland and at Saint Helena in which the conduct and conversations of Napoleon Buonaparte and his suite during the voyage and the first months of his residence on that island are faithfully Described and Related

18171527Philadelphia: M. Thomas. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1817. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. Bound in half red morocco over green marbled boards spine lettered and tooled in gilt with four raised bands. Illustrated with engraved frontispiece and engraved facsimile. Warden was a Surgeon on the Northumberland which conveyed Napoleon to St. Helena. During the voyages and for some time at Saint Helena Warden attended Napoleon. Following Napoleon's final defeat on the fields of Waterloo in 1815 and his surrender to the Royal Navy and eventual exile to St. Helena the public curiosity in England regarding the man who had terrorised Europe for years and dragged on a war that had begun in 1793 was overwhelming. Captain Maitland's perhaps better known account of Napoleon's time in the BELLEROPHON the ship Napoleon had surrendered to was not published until 1826. William Warden surgeon on board the NORTHUMBERLAND the ship that carried the Emperor into exile was on his return to England "in a state of persecution from the curiosity which prevails respecting that extraordinary character." Warden had spent several month on the island and was in a position to observe Napoleon at close quarters. His account is illustrated with an engraved vignette portrait of the prisoner a folding facsimile and a further engraved plate depicting two medals. The subject matter and criticism of the work sold many editions in the first year. The populace did not like the favorable depiction of Napoleon and the military and literary audience determining that Warden could not have been present at some of the things described took exception to his claims. Warden's French not being strong and his translator the Count de la Cases' English being confused in conveying Napoleon's comments apparently created discrepancies in the conversations as Napoleon later said that his conversations with Warden were quite different. .

World War I Soldier's Photograph Album Showing Battlefield Destruction Allied Armies and Civilian Life in France 1915-1918

1915200651915. World War I photograph albums created by soldiers and travelers often juxtapose the brutality of industrial warfare with scenes of civilian life and personal travel revealing how participants understood the global conflict unfolding around them. This album of approximately 101 photographs dating from roughly 1915 to 1918 documents both the European theater of World War I and an extraordinary American automobile journey from San Francisco to Washington D.C. The images capture the material culture of early twentieth century mobility the devastation of trench warfare in France and the civilian landscapes through which soldiers and travelers moved during the war years. Together they form a visual narrative of a world simultaneously engaged in modern leisure travel and mechanized global conflict.<br /> <br /> Photograph album containing approximately 101 photographs measuring roughly 3 x 2 inches to 4.5 x 6.5 inches including albumen prints silver gelatin prints and sepia toned photographs many with captions written in white ink directly on the prints. Early images document an automobile expedition labeled "Automobile Camping Trip San Francisco to Washington DC" with the additional caption "Approx. 4000 miles in 27 days" showing touring cars modified for long distance travel with seats folded down and bedding arranged inside the vehicles. Several photographs feature family members identified in French captions including an albumen portrait reading "Suzane et Jeane Vincent 'a leur grand ami" as well as group photographs labeled the "Cateret Family" depicting picnics garden scenes lakeside outings and automobile travel in Europe. Wartime images depict the destructive landscape of the Western Front including a trench scene captioned "After a Yank barrage 1800 Boches deads near Soissons" a photograph labeled "Bombarded house Grandpre 1917" showing a destroyed structure with smoke rising from the rubble and views of Belleau Wood. Additional photographs document military technology and battlefield operations including German artillery German observation balloons anti aircraft guns camouflaged British tanks captured artillery pieces wrecked airplanes and soldiers in formation. One photograph depicts German Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg pointing toward a soldier. Several images show supply depots in France during 1918 as well as groups of Allied soldiers in camps and on maneuver.<br /> <br /> The album concludes with portraits of children and family members visually contrasting the domestic life of civilians with the devastation of the European battlefields recorded earlier in the volume. The presence of both American and European subjects reflects the international dimension of World War I which drew soldiers civilians and travelers into a shared landscape shaped by mechanized warfare and unprecedented global mobility. Approximately 101 photographs mounted in an album with manuscript captions. Album binding remains tight with minor wear along edges; photographs clear and well preserved with only light handling wear. Overall condition very good. unknown
