1858GITj891ENSEMBLES DE 25 LETTRES de divers formats, 6 anglais, 20 en français TOUTES ADRESSEES A L'AMIRAL COMTE LOUIS HENRI DE GUEYDON (1809-1886) alors Commandant de la Station Navale des Antilles et du Mexique, entièrement rédigées et signées par le Commandant et futur Amiral HUGH WALLACE DUNLOP (1806-1887) et le Diplomate et voyageur LEONCE LEVRAUD (1812-v1867) en poste à Caracas. Ces lettres rédigées en marge des dépêches et courriers officiels, ont pour sujet la mise en place d'une stratégie militaire et diplomatique franco-britannique, face aux événements politiques qui secouèrent le Vénézuéla en mars 1858. Alors que le Vénézuéla avait conquis son indépendance en 1831 grâce à une junte militaire conduite par le charismatique Général José Antonio Paëz (1790-1873), des périodes de troubles se succédèrent. Le 23 janvier 1847, le Général José Tadeo Monagas (1784-1868), qui avait combattu aux côtés de Paëz, fut élu Président, malgré une opinion défavorable; Oligarques, Libéraux et Démocrates se disputant le Pouvoir, le gouvernement fut renversé le 15 mars 1858 et Monagas emprisonné. La correspondance que nous proposons retrace les incertitudes engendrées par cet événement, ainsi que les initiatives à prendre par les représentants de la France et de l'Angleterre, en attente des directives de leur gouvernement. D'un côté, le Commandant Dunlop, à bord du HMS Tartar prône une intervention militaire conjointe avec la France (capture des bateaux battants pavillon vénézuélien, blocus, bombardement) pour laver les "insultes faites aux 2 drapeaux" par le nouveau Gouvernement; de l'autre, d'un commun accord, les Chargés d'Affaires Français (Levraud) et britannique (Bingham) se démènent pour obtenir une réparation et la libération de Monagas "homme âgé et malade" sans coup férir ni compromettre la sécurité des résidents étrangers, grâce à la publication d'un Manifeste. BEL ENSEMBLE DE LETTRES DANS UN ETAT DE FRAICHEUR IRREPROCHABLE, bien lisibles, rédigées dans le feu de l'action, révélant bien la personnalité de leurs auteurs: écriture moyenne, rapide, serrée à interlignes étroits, pratiquement sans marges pour le caractère honnête, ferme et déterminé de Dunlop; belle écriture fluide et régulière à marge latérale pour Levraud, homme d'une intelligence affinée par la fréquentation des Salons. BON TEMOIGNAGE rédigé à une époque charnière de l'histoire du Vénézuéla, juste avant que le pays ne bascule dans la terrible Guerre Fédérale, responsable d'au moins 200000 victimes, entre 1859 et 1863.

18512008AG1851. London & New York J & F. Tallis 1851. Original steel engraving / Vintage map. Drawn and engraved by John Rapkin. Partly hand-coloured. Plate Size: 32.7 cm x 24.9 cm. Sheet Size: 37.4 cm x 27.3 cm. Vintage 19th century map in very good condition. John Tallis 7 November 1817 3 June 1876 was an English cartographic publisher. His company John Tallis and Company published views maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846 and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858 selling it for £1370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. Wikipedia The most important project John Tallis undertook was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin 1815-1876 and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes people in their environment and even more so historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park London from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century and it was a much anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert husband of the reigning monarch Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time including Charles Darwin Samuel Colt members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".
