In 8, pp. XIV + 356 con 1 ritr. inc. all'antip. e 1 grande tabella piu' volte rip. Br. ed. muta. Ottimo es. genuino in barbe e intonso. Edizione originale di quest'opera che partendo dalla sua piu' famosa dedicata ai commerci europei nelle indie e nelle americhe, si occupa specificatamente della colonizzazione della Francia nelle americhe. Dopo aver analizzato il ritardo francese nella corsa coloniale, Raynal descrive i tentativi fatti verso le Antille a partire dagli inizi del XVII sec. Tratta poi della conquista della Guyana, di Santa Lucia, della Martinica, di Guadalupe, di Santo Domingo e di Tabago. Raynal dopo un inizio ecclesiastico, abbandonato il sacerdozio si fa conoscere come apostolo della liberta'. Il ritratto sulla terza edizione della sua importante opera sul commercio degli europei nelle Indie, opera avversata e conndatta al rogo, lo obbliga a fuggire, prima in Svizzera poi in Prussia, tornato in Francia nel 1784, si dedica a istituire premi accademici. Con la rivoluzione si mettera' nei guai con molte critiche agli eccessi del terrore. La sua fama gli evitera' la ghigliottina.

BARRÈRE Pierre Essai sur l'histoire naturelle de la France équinoxiale ou Dénombrement des Plantes des Animaux & des Minéraux qui se trouvent dans l'Isle de Cayenne les Isles de Remire sur les Côtes de la Mer & dans le Continent de la Guyane Paris Piget 1741.<br />8° XXIV 216 pages 4 leaves ; contemporary calf.</p><p><br />The first monograph on French Guiana's natural history<br />First edition ; one of the scarce large paper copies mentioned by Sabin. Pierre Barrère 1690-1755 was a French physician and botanist from Perpignan. His thesis on the medical uses of botany attracted the attention of Antoine de Jussieu who put forward his name to the French regent Philippe d'Orléans. He was sent to French Guiana "France équinoxiale " as the King's physician and botanist in Cayenne from 1722 to 1725 to look for medecinal plants. During his stay in the colony he collected plants roots fruits and seeds as well as rocks and minerals which were incorporated into Jussieu's herbarium. After an epidemic of yellow fever he returned to France where in 1741 he published this work on the natural history of Cayenne and Remire in which he compiled a very complete alphabetical list of the plants of this part of the world - he referred to the nomenclature of Tournefort and Plumier - as well as the fauna and minerals. This book was followed by another entitled Nouvelle Relation de la France équinoxale in 1743.</p><p>Provenance: Jean-Baptiste Benoît Eyriès 1767-1846 geographer printer/editor and slave trader printed bookplate; Rémi Valdemar Chardey 1813-1900 collector from Le Havre who purchased part of the former's library at its posthumous sale.</p><p>Pritzel 425; Sabin 3603; Leclerc 1511: "This work is more difficult to find than the Relation de la France Equinoxiale by the same author."</p>

19491522British Guiana 1949. Very good. Two volumes. 6633 photographs on 3311pp. Images vary in size most 4.5 x 4.5 or 3.5 x 2.5 inches with some larger. Oblong octavos. Original black paper albums string-tied. Cover of first volume detached wear around edges of covers on each volume. Internally clean and fresh. Some images with light silver mirroring. Captioned throughout. Two photograph albums of the Tikwah gold mine in British Guiana likely compiled by an operative of the company. A Who's Who of British Guiana for 1945-1948 lists Samuel Hirsh Holzman as the mine owner and managing director as well as the vice president of the Mining Association of British Guiana. Gold was discovered in Guiana in the 1880s in the area around the Essequibo River. Crude mining efforts through the next few decades resulted in minimal extraction though there was a renewed effort with technological advancements in mining in the 1940s as shown herein. The present albums document the region as well as the mining camp and its operations much of it with a keen sense of detail. In addition to captions the author has annotated many of the photos in pencil to point out relevant features. For example a photograph captioned "New Winze L. & General View of Mine Looking N.W." has pencil annotations identifying individual buildings such as the Clerk's Quarters and the Tikwah Shaft Building. An image of the foreman's shack and laborers' quarters notes the construction and materials used to build them; roads and rivers used by the company are pictured with complaints about the rough condition as are aerial views of the camp and surrounding area. There are images of the shafts and miners at work; interior shots of the mills and other buildings; and the latter portion of the first volume contains numerous group portraits of the workers and office staff each person identified by name and position. This includes the "Tikwah Ladies" mostly the wives of foremen which shows eight Black women standing together in the mining camp one holding an infant and another holding the hands of a toddler. In addition to images of the camp's operations there are many photographs documenting the difficulties involved with mining in the jungle. A series of images from 1948 shows workmen transporting equipment on the Puruni River. Captions read "Reloading boats to proceed up Puruni ballyhoo in front towed by 'Caroline' to be used at Thomas Island Falls for blasting"; "Pulling 'Caroline' over rapids at mouth"; "Pulling 'Caroline' through part of big falls." All of these images show the difficulty of transporting equipment and supplies in the region with laborers in shorts and loincloths pulling the boat with a rope over difficult terrain. Another series shows the boat caught up on rocks in the river at Kaburi Falls and the workmen endeavoring to dislodge it without capsizing. An altogether fascinating look at life in a mining camp in the jungles of Guiana full of rich detail about those working in the camp and their living environs. unknown books

In-8 (mm. 248x185), elegante legatura in p. pelle bazana coeva, cornice dorata ai piatti, dorso a cordoni con decorazioni floreali e tit. oro su tassello, tagli rossi, pp. (2),XIV,(2),294,(2), inclusa la bella antiporta-frontespizio entro pregevole cornice decorata, incisa da Croisey, e con grande testata alle armi alla Prefazione (pure inc. in rame). Il volume è molto ben illustrato f.t. da 10 tavole che raffigurano indigeni, loro usi e costumi, caccia e pesca, animali, piante e frutta, e da 19 (su 20) carte, tutte inc. in rame (7 più volte ripieg.), di cui 1 con la pianta della città di Paramaribo. Fra le carte geografiche: quella generale della Guiana, del Surinam, della Guiana francese, dell’isola e della città di Cayenne e della Guiana portoghese; le restanti illustrano il percorso dei vari fiumi, a partire dal più importante, l’Orenoco. Manca la carta con la ”grande embouchure de l’Orenoque et partie de son cours”. L’opera contiene “les possessions et les établissemens des François, des Espagnols, des Portugais, des Hollandois dans ces vastes pays. Le climat, les productions de la terre et les animaux. Leurs habitans, leurs moeurs, leurs coutumes, et le commerce qu’on y peut faire. Avec des remarques pour la navigation et des cartes, plans et figures”. "Prima edizione". Jacques Nicolas Bellin, ingegnere idrografo francese (1703-1772) fu il primo “Ingenieur de la Marine et du Depot des Plans de la Marine” (l’ufficio idrografico francese) e venne nominato idrografo ufficiale (capo cartografo) del Re di Francia. Durante tale regno il ‘Depot’ produsse un notevole numero di carte geografiche fra cui un atlante delle coste francesi col titolo di "Nettuno francese"; l’"Idrografia francese" contenente le carte delle coste di tutto il mondo nel 1756, e il "Piccolo atlante marittimo", in 5 volumi, nel 1764. Così Diz. Larousse,II, p.429. Cfr. anche Brunet, I,756 - Tooley’s Dictionary of Mapmakers, p. 49. Con numerosi piccoli fori di tarlo sapientemente restaurati, altrimenti esemplare ben conservato.
1828WRCAM30792A Cayenne: L'Imprimerie du Gouvernement 1828. 54pp. Slim quarto. Contemporary plain wrappers. Internally clean and bright. Near fine. A collection of proposed French administrative documents concerning the establishment of a mortgage and loan office in French Guiana. The various articles are geared toward liberal loan regulations to encourage agricultural development including the allowance of slaves as collateral. Since the restoration of the region to French authority in 1817 via the Treaty of Vienna the promotion of an agrarian economy was a primary concern though the subsequent designation of Cayenne as a penal colony significantly reduced the territory's appeal. Like most Cayenne imprints of this era the present document is quite rare. Not on OCLC. L'Imprimerie du Gouvernement unknown books
