MARTIN Pierre-Dominique & COLLIN (sculpsit) & DE SAINT MORIEN (sculpsit)
DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE. Alexandrie. Plan, coupes et détails d'un monument souterrain, situé à l'ouest de la ville antique. (ANTIQUITES, volume V, planche 42)
- Imprimerie Impériale, Paris 1809-1829, 71x53,5cm, une feuille. - Original, unshaved, full-page etching from the "Imperial edition" of the Description de l'Égypte, or 'Recueil des observations et recherches faites en Égypte pendant l'expédition française, publié par les ordres de Sa Majesté l'Empereur Napoléon le Grand [A Collection of the observations and research carried out in Egypt during the French expedition, published on the orders of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon the Great]'. Produced between February 1802 and 1830 on the orders of Naopleon Bonaparte and published between 1809 and 1828, 1,000 copies were printed and distributed to institutions, on vergé paper with an 'Égypte ancienne et moderne' watermark, visible when held up to the light. Light marginal spotting not touching image, otherwise in very fresh, fine condition. An engraving from the Description de l'Egypte, one of the masterpieces of French printing and the birth of a new field: Egyptology. A gigantic survey of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests in 1798 and 1799, the work is divided into 13 volumes of engravings making up 892 plates, of which 72 colored, as well as presenting the splendors of the Egypt of the Pharaohs in 9 volumes. The other volumes discuss natural history and present a fascinating portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Eastern Armies. The 'Egyptian campaign', militarily a disaster, demonstrates, through the engravings of the Description d'Egypte, the scientific success it nonetheless became thanks to the 167 expert members of the Commission of the Sciences and Arts of the Institut d'Egypte [Egyptian Institute] who followed Napoleon's army. The Institut gathered together in Egypt the mathematician Monge, the chemist Berthollet, the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists, engineers, architects and doctors. They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants. This edition, the so-called "Imperial" edition of the plates for the Description de l'Egypte was printed in four large formats, two of which were specially created for it and christened "Moyen-Egypte" and "Grand-Egypte". A special press was built to print it, the process extending over 20 years, from 1809 to 1829. The "Imperial" edition proved so popular that a second edition, this time in black and white and without the "Egypte ancienne et moderne" watermark - known as the "Royal Edition" - was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke (Paris). The engravings of the Description d'Egypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon, illustrator, diplomat, collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon (the Louvre). His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there, thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte. Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51, reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut d'Egypte, the Natural History Museum's painter H.J. Redouté (brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté, author of Roses), the mineralogist Dolomiue, and the draughtsman Joly, Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When, however, he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798, he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself, he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan. He said that he had crossed "a country that is, apart from its name, entirely unknown to Europeans, and therefore everything was worth describing" (Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant

Martini Ferdinando
Nell'Affrica italiana. Impressioni e ricordi
Stato di conservazione: MOLTO BUONO, minimi ordinari segni d'uso e del tempo, tagli bruniti, occhietto (recante solo il titolo) parzialmente incollato alla sguardia ant., fioriture su alcune pagine (in particolare in corrispondenza delle due cartine), legatura solida, nessun segno o scritta all'interno. IV edizione. Edizione illustrata riveduta dall'autore, con note ed aggiunte, e illustrata da 152 incisioni e due carte geografiche. Con Prefazione alla prima edizione (1891) e Nota all'edizione illustrata (1895) dell'autore. "Quando questo libro uscì in luce la prima volta, pareva che d'Affrica [Africa] gli Italiani non avessero a sentir più discorrere per un pezzo. I male sperati silenzi furono rotti, come ognun sa, di recente, in un anno tre volte: ad Agordat prima, poi a Saganeiti, da ultimo a Coatit ed a Senafè; ed oggi siamo daccapo a discutere della nostra Colonia, delle diverse, e son molte, questioni che la concernano. Pur serbando, salvo poche e lieve emende, questa quarta edizione conforme nel testo alle altre che la precederono, mi è parso dunque non inutile lo aggiungere qua e là qualche nota, e tre appendici; l'una ad esporre, sebbene brevemente, quanto fu fatto sinora per la colonizzazione dell'Eritrea, le altre a descrivere la condizioni nella quale ci pone la recente presa di Cassala, e a dar qualche notizia de' Dervisci, del Sudan, del Mahdismo: tutte cose note per altre pubblicazioni, ma che forse i lettori non sgradiranno siano loro rammemorate".
