Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary quarter leather bdg. Rebacked boards. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 220 p. Very rare early book of the concise biographies of 137 people who served as admirals in the Ottoman Empire between 1352 and 1853, written by Mehmed Izzet Pasha (d. 1853), son of Turkish admiral Abdullah Râmiz Pasha (d. 1813). Ceridehâne Printing House was founded for publishing Ceride-i Havâdîs [i.e. The Journal of News], which was the first semi-official newspaper in the Ottoman Empire. This journal was published from 1840 to 1877 and was founded by William Nosworthy Churchill (1796-1846), a British-born journalist who moved to Turkey aged 19. He was the cause of a diplomatic incident that resulted in the temporary severance of diplomatic relations between Britain and the Ottoman Empire.

Incisione in rame (mm. 525x630), abilmente dipinta da mano coeva, verso velato da finissimo foglio di carta Giappone. Bella e rara carta nautica, tratta dal celebre atlante di De Witt ''Orbis Maritimus ofte Zee Atlas", raffigurante l'America meridionale, dal Rio della Plata (Paraguay) allo stretto di Magellano e all'Arcipelago della Terra del Fuoco. La mappa include sorprendenti dettagli decorativi. Il grande cartiglio rappresenta un incontro tra i popoli indigeni e gli europei. Nell'Atlantico meridionale c'è una nave solitaria e una battaglia mortale tra due flotte. Il grafico sottolinea i viaggi olandesi nella regione intorno alla fine del diciassettesimo secolo. Il primo di questi faceva parte del tentativo di commerciare con la Cina e le Isole delle Spezie e la creazione della Compagnia Olandese delle Indie Orientali (VOC). Delle quattordici flotte che partirono dai porti olandesi per le Indie Orientali tra il 1598 e il 1601, solo due lo fecero attraverso lo Stretto di Magellano. La carta è una delle carte nautiche più eleganti e dettagliate del Sud America pubblicate nel XVII secolo. L'abile rinforzo con carta Giappone evita il deperimento da acidità ai verdi e marroni; quindi l'esemplare si presenta in ottimo stato, anche grazie alla splendida coloritura del cartiglio. "Frederick de Wit deve essere considerato uno dei più importanti editori di mappe della seconda metà del XVII secolo. La maggior parte delle sue mappe sono di ottima qualità, sono caratterizzate da un'incisione chiara e bella, dall'attualità e ricchezza dell'immagine cartografica nonché dall'equilibrio delle decorazioni cartografiche". (Lexikon der Kartographie II, p. 899), Koeman M. Wit 1, 27. Koeman, Atlantes Neerlandici, IV, pp.191 e 518-519. Shirley 444. Putnam, Early sea charts, 75.. .

Milano, Treves, 1900, 23 dicembre, articolo e tre illustrazioni, stralcio de "L'Illustrazione popolare". - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
