‎Mehmed-Ali. Vize-König von Aegypten. Aus meinem Tagebuche 1826-1841.‎

‎173 S. Neue HLwd., Vorderdeckel mit mont. vord. Orig.-Umschlag. Kosch III 335; ADB XXVI 644. - Erste Ausgabe dieses posthum erschienenen Abdrucks aus den Erinnerungen des österreichischen Diplomaten, verdienten Generals, begeisterten Philhellenen und Orientreisenden Anton Graf Prokesch von Osten (1795-1876). Graf Prokesch, dessen Beiname "von Osten" sich seiner Leidenschaft für den Orient verdankt, wurde u. a. 1833 im Auftrag Metternichs nach Alexandria geschickt, um dort erfolgreich bei den Friedensverhandlungen zwischen Mehmed-Ali und der Pforte zu vermitteln. Aufgrund seiner Vertrautheit mit den dortigen Verhältnissen und seinen großen Sympathien für die Menschen der Region wurde er hochgeachtet. - "Innerhalb der österreichischen Diplomatie nahm Prokesch eine eigenthümliche, ja in ihrer Art einzige Stellung ein. Man hat ihn als militärischen Diplomaten wohl mit Schwarzenberg und Ficquelmont verglichen. Richtiger würde ein Vergleich mit Männern wie Brunnow und Humboldt sein, insoferne er mit weltmännischer Bildung und staatsmännischer Erfahrung einen unendlich reichen Schatz des Wissens, empfänglichen Sinn für alles Schöne und Edle im Leben und die glückliche Gabe, seine Gedanken in anmuthige Formen zu kleiden, verband. Trotzdem muß uns eine Laufbahn fast beispiellos bedünken, die den bürgerlich Geborenen fast lediglich durch sein eigenes hervorragendes Verdienst, dem, wenigstens in jüngeren Jahren, die gewinnendste Liebenswürdigkeit zur Seite stand, von den untersten Stufen des Dienstes bis zu den höchsten Höhen des gesellschaftlichen und staatlichen Lebens emporhob" (ADB XXVI, 645).

‎DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE. Le Kaire [Le Caire]. Vue perspective intérieure de la Mosquée de Touloun. (ETAT MODERNE, volume I, planche 31)‎

‎- Imprimerie Impériale, Paris 1809-1829, 53,5x70,5cm, 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 pendan‎

‎DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE. Le Kaire [Le Caire]. Vue extérieure de la Mosquée de Touloun. (ETAT MODERNE, volume I, planche 29)‎

‎- Imprimerie Impériale, Paris 1809-1829, 70,5x53,5cm, une feuille. - Original etching in plano, untrimmed, extracted from the'' Imperial Edition 'of the Description of Egypt or Collection of Observations and Research made in Egypt during the French expedition, published by order of His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon Grand. Conducted between 1802 and 1830 and published between 1809 and 1828, she was taken in 1000 copies available to institutions. Laid the watermark visible by transparency ancient and modern Egypt paper. This engraving shows a great view of the Tulun Mosque and its minaret in Cairo. The Ibn Tulun Mosque (named Ahmad Ibn Tulun) is the oldest mosque in the city that is in its original state and the oldest Islamic monument in the country. It is also the largest in terms of floor space. It is located near the Citadel of Saladin and the Mosque of Sultan Hassan. Its spiral minaret reminds Samarra. Its construction was ordered by Ahmad Ibn Tulun, the Abbasid governor of Egypt, who ruled the country virtually self-Way 868-884 According to historian Al Maqrizi, the construction of the building began in 876.; a registration date of the completion year 265 AH, that is to say, the year AD 879. Marginal tiny bites do not affect any of the board and without a hitch lack in upper left margin, otherwise excellent freshness and preservation. The monumental first edition of the Description of Egypt in 13 volumes contained 892 colored plates of which 72, including 9 volumes involved antiquity. Other volumes dealt with the Natural History and modern Egypt as Napoleon Bonaparte had brought with him a commission of scholars from all disciplines so that it was said, in his description was stored the richest museum of universe. This book was written in part by Baron Dominique Vivant Denon, before he is appointed Managing Director of the Louvre Museum Napoleon. More than 80 artists and 400 writers were hired for this huge project. The unusually large size boards necessitated the creation of a special press and a specific piece of furniture to keep them ...! --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.

[FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Gravure originale à l'eau-forte in plano, non rognée, extraite de l'édition dite « Impériale » de la Description de l'Égypte ou Recueil des observations et recherches faites en Égypte pendant l'expédition française, publié par les ordres de Sa Majesté l'Empereur Napoléon le Grand. Réalisée entre février 1802 et 1829 sur ordre de Napoléon Bonaparte et publiée à partir de 1809 [en réalité 1810], elle fut tirée à 1000 exemplaires sur Vergé filigrané « Égypte ancienne et moderne » et offerte aux institutions. Cette gravure présente une superbe vue de la Mosquée de Touloun et de son minaret au Caire. La mosquée Ibn Touloun (du nom d'Ahmad Ibn Touloun) est la plus ancienne mosquée de cette ville qui soit dans son état originel et le plus ancien monument islamique du pays. C'est aussi la plus vaste en termes de surface au sol. Elle se trouve non loin de la Citadelle de Saladin et de la mosquée du Sultan Hassan. Son minaret en forme de spirale rappelle Samarra. Sa construction fut ordonnée par Ahmad Ibn Touloun, gouverneur abbasside d'Égypte, qui gouverna le pays de manière pratiquement autonome de 868 à 884. Selon l'historien Al Maqrizi, la construction de l'édifice commença en 876 ; une inscription date son achèvement de l'an 265 de l'Hégire, c'est-à-dire l'année 879 de notre ère. Infimes piqûres marginales n'affectant pas du tout la planche et un accroc sans manque en marge supérieure gauche, sinon excellent état de fraîcheur et de conservation.

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 les cam‎

Guitariste d'un groupe fameux de la fin des années 1970, Couto vit désormais d'expédients. Alors qu'un coup d'Etat se prépare, il apprend la mort de Dulce, la chanteuse du groupe, qui fut aussi son premier amour. Le soir tombe sur la capitale, les rues bruissent, Couto marche, va de bar en terrasse, d'un ami à l'autre. Dans ses pensées trente ans défilent, souvenirs d'une femme aimée, de la guérilla contre les Portugais, mais aussi des années fastes d'un groupe qui joua aux quatre coins du monde une musique neuve, portée par l'élan et la fierté d'un pays. Au coeur de la ville où hommes et femmes continuent de s'affairer, indifférents aux premiers coups de feu qui éclatent, Couto et d'autres anciens du groupe ont rendez-vous : c'est soir de concert au Chiringuitó."‎

Il poursuivit la rédaction de cet ouvrage jusqu'au printemps de 1914, peu de temps avant d'être tué en août sur le front belge.
