Chanlaire, Pierre Gregoire & Mentelle, Edme.
Carte du théâtre de la Guerre en Orient. Paris, Chanlaire & Mentelle, 1798-1799.
Original outline colour. Dissected and laid on linen in two sections, together 940 x 1540 mm. A two-sheet wall map showing Prussia, Turkey, Egypt and Abyssinia in the west, and the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan, Persia, Arabia and Somalia in the east. Two inset maps show the routes from Siré to Gondar and from Gondar to the sources of the Nile. According to the inscription, the map is based on that of "the late J. B. Laborde" (Jean-Benjamin de Laborde [1734-94], a traveller and musician), with amendments; however we have been unable to trace a map of the region by him. - The vast map was published to satisfy French interest when their seemingly-unstoppable General Bonaparte turned his attention to the conquest of Egypt in 1798. Napoleon had captured Malta en route to Egypt, and the oval title vignette shows him overseeing the burial of the French dead under Pompey's Pillar after the capture of the important port city of Alexandria (July 1798). - After the defeat of the Mameluk army at the Battle of the Pyramids it was Napoleon's intention to subdue the rest of the Ottoman Empire before moving to threaten British interests in India. However, as the political situation in Paris was deteriorating, Napoleon decided to leave his army in Egypt in 1799, returning to France to become First Consul. His army was less fortunate, surrendering to the British at Alexandria in 1801. - This map is very scarce: the French citizens' interest in maps of the Orient evaporated as quickly as Napoleon's.

Charles VI, Emperor.
Printed mandate for a "Turk tax" to be levied in Upper Austria. Wien, 25 Jan. 1738.
Folio, ca. 58 x 44 cm. 1 p. At the beginning of the third year of war against the Ottoman army in the Austro-Russian-Turkish War of 1735-39: a mandate to the Upper Austrian Estates and their subservients regarding an extraordinary tax to be raised for the support the Imperial army. "We [the Emperor] should have wished nothing better, from the time that we were obliged to take arms against the hereditary enemy, than to re-establish the peace, and effect this either through the force of weapons or by kind acts; however, as during the time of our recent campaign our so numerous and well-equipped armies have much suffered from illnesses, long and tiring marches, and other hardships which must needs accompany a war, and thus have been hindered in achieving the desired further successes, and peace negotiations are yet distant, though We do not desist in pursuing all means conducive to achieving such an end, all that is now necessary is to replenish our forces, and convey here the necessary tools, in other words, to make our forces capable of effectively preventing all enemy action, and to bring peace and safety to our kingdom and dominions; all of which, as everybody will readily acknowledge, cannot be done without great expenditure, for which our treasury and the ordinary grants from the estates are not sufficient, We have found Ourselves compelled, even if against our own wishes, to apply a general contribution, or Turk tax [...]". - Traces of folds with slight tears and paper defects; captioned on reverse by a contemporary hand.

Charles VIII, King of France / [compiled by Emmanuel Victor Pourroy de l’Aubérivière, Comte de Quinsonas].
Comptes de la vénerie et fauconnerie du roi Charles VIII. Archives impériales. Lyon, Louis Perrin, 1860.
8vo. VI, 22 pp. With 4 chromolithographed plates showing 3 stained-glass portraits and an architectural elevation, 2 double-page etched views and a lithographed facsimile of a letter written and signed by Margaret of Austria. Half grey-brown cloth (ca. 1900?). With the publisher’s lavender printed paper wrappers bound in, repeating the arms of the title-page. A remarkable bibliophile edition (limited to fifty copies) of financial accounts and other documents concerning hunting and falconry from the archives of King Charles VIII of France in the years 1485 to 1486. These documents are essential primary sources for the history of hunting and falconry, giving detailed and very specific data to throw light on falconry ca. 1485/86. The text was prepared in conjunction with a publication about Margaret of Austria (1480-1530), Duchess of Savoy, and Quinsonas (1818-1901) wrote a brief introductory chapter to the present book, “Documents pour servir a l’histoire de Marguerite d’Autriche”. The daughter the future Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, she was betrothed to Charles VIII in 1483 and came to the French court to be educated as the future Queen of France. He broke off the engagement to marry her stepmother for political reasons in 1491. So at the time of the book’s documents about Charles VIII she was still betrothed to him and living at the French court. After he broke off their engagement she married twice, the second time in 1501 to Philibert II, Duke of Savoy who died of pneumonia that he caught during a hunt in 1504. The chromolithographs show details from two stained-glass portraits of her, one of her husband Philibert and a view of her “tower” in his chateau in Pont d’Ain. The etchings show Pont d’Ain and Louis XIII’s chateau at Poncin. After Margaret’s brother King Philip I of Spain died in 1506, she became governor of the Low Countries for most of 1507-30. Although the title-page names no compiler and the imprint names only the printer, Quinsonas’s arms appear on the title-page and front wrapper. He was clearly the motive force behind the publication, using the services of the printer Louis Perrin, who pioneered historically allusive book design. - With a presentation inscription from the compiler Comte de Quinsonas to Mr [Louis] de Mas-Latrie (1815-97), historian and palaeographer, on the front wrapper. With an 1890 (?) bookseller’s ticket, the bookplate of Paul Couturier de Royas (1853-1934), and a modern armorial bookplate of the Verne d’Orcet family, whose great library on the subject of hunting was begun ca. 1900. With offsetting of the chromolithographs (in spite of the tissue guards bound in to prevent it), the ribbon marker has left a browned shadow in the gutter margin between 2 pages and the margins of the wrappers have faded to grey-brown, but otherwise in very good condition. A bibliophile edition of documents concerning King Charles VIII’s hunting and falconry in the years 1485-86. Schwerdt 119. Thiébaud 763. For the type cf. Ponot, Louis Perrin & l’énigme des Augustaux (1998).
