Corners slightly bumped and rubbed joints with just a hint of flaking but the period bindings solid and still extremely attractive survivals. Internally with a handful of quires faintly browned other trivial defects BUT AN UNUSUALLY WELL-PRESERVED SET inside and out.<br/> <br/> This lively narrative of travel at the turn of the 18th century includes a wealth of illustrations and a pleasing period bindings. A professor at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris Joseph Pitton de Tournefort 1656-1708 developed a system of botanical classification that became the standard method until it was superseded by Linnaeus in 1753. He made numerous collecting trips throughout his career; the present work is the record of his most significant voyage through Greece Turkey and along the Black Sea to Armenia and Georgia. The expedition which took place between 1700-02 had been proposed by the Comte du Pontchartrain then Secretary of State in 1699 as both a botanical and commercial endeavor. Tournefort's observations include a wealth of botanical detail but are also a rich source of information about the landscapes and peoples he encountered. He was accompanied on this voyage by German botanist Andreas Gundelsheimer and by the painter Claude Aubriet ca. 1665-1742 who had collaborated with Tournefort on his previous work "Eléments de Botanique." The work of Aubriet a botanical illustrator at the Jardin des Plantes was long appreciated by botanists and laypeople alike for its beauty and accuracy. The detailed depictions of plants here are accompanied by illustrated maps and engravings depicting zoological specimens archaeological sites and the costumes and cultures of the areas visited. The account was published posthumously in 1717 first in Paris and then shortly afterward in the present Lyon edition. The bindings here were never meant to be showy but they have come down to us in a remarkable state of preservation given their pedestrian construction and expected use. Chez Anisson et Posuel unknown

1920ABC_48727Iraq 1920. Kept in a clear plastic sleeve. With 11 snapshots all ca. 6 x 9 cm. Collection of 11 snapshots from the early 1920s likely taken by a British soldier stationed in the Middle East. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly where these photographs were taken but presumably in Mesopotamia present day Iraq. Great Britain was actively involved in Mesopotamia from 1914-1932. Prior to the First World War a large portion of the Middle East was in the hands of the Ottoman Empire. However when the Ottomans sided with Germany in 1914 Great Britain sent forces to Mesopotamia to protect the Anglo-Persian oil fields. The British army initially suffered a major defeat but eventually gained the upper hand and captured Baghdad in 1917. In 1920 after the Ottoman Empire was partitioned the United Kingdom formally established control in the region under a mandate of the League of Nations. However the Iraqi people resented this idea and revolted. In 1922 Great Britain and Iraq then signed the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty in which Iraq was given the right for self-government while Great Britain stayed in control of the country's foreign policy. This would last until Iraq's independence in 1932.The present snapshots were taken in the early days of British control in the region and depict the atmosphere at the time. They show the daily life of locals including women collecting water from the river men standing guard and the hustle and bustle in the streets. Also included are various group photos of British soldiers and locals.The photographs show some traces of wear around the corners and edges but are overall in good condition. unknown
1910J68AIMO7W1D1Palestine 1910. Rolled up and kept in a cardboard tube. An enormous panoramic view drawn in coloured gouaches on a single continuous roll of unwatermarked wove paper 70 x 583 cm the drawing running to the edges of the paper. A panoramic view of what appears to be a fantasy Middle Eastern landscape with spectacular mountains in the background a body of water near each end and a wide variety of buildings and ruins some clearly classical Roman and others Middle Eastern. The combination of classical Roman architecture with dromedaries and other Middle Eastern features places it very likely in Palestine but we have not been able to identify specific buildings. The most distinctive ruin a round Roman temple with five columns on the viewer's side an entablature above them and a vertical base below them looks more like the Temple of the Vesta at Tivoli than like any known in the Middle East the columns are not rendered in sufficient detail to determine their order but they are almost certainly not Ionic and are probably Corinthian. There are also classical Roman aqueducts. The six shepherds with their flocks all wear broad-brimmed hats and have staffs and two are blowing long slightly curved horns. Several more figures with broad-brimmed hats and staffs might be pilgrims one together with what is presumably his wife. With a 33 cm tear into the left end a few insignificant and much smaller tears and with pin holes about 1 cm from the edges from mounting on a wall but otherwise in very good condition and with the colours fresh and bright. A spectacular panoramic view of the Middle East including many classical Roman ruins. unknown
