‎4to. 227 x 170 mm. 8 pp. Bound in marbled paper over boards. Margins short cropping page numbers on 2 leaves and just touching but not obscuring the top of some letters of text. Generally very good. <br /><br /><p>Very rare with one recorded copy in Bordeaux of a detailed and lively account of this French expedition against Jamaica during the Nine Years War comprising a string of brutal attacks over the summer of 1694 led by Jean-Baptiste Du Casse. Appointed Governor of Saint-Domingue in 1691 Du Casse had earlier in his career been involved with the slave-trading Compagnie du Senegal and had served throughout the Atlantic world in various capacities including as admiral and privateer. Very familiar with the Caribbean and the ways of the filibusterers and buccaneers operating there he was the best candidate for the difficult job of rallying competing interests to align with those of <i>la France d'outre-mer </i>at a time when funding from France was scarce with Louis XIV distracted by the War of the League of Augsburg closer to home. </p><p>In brief 3 French warships accompanied by numerous transport ships under the command of Captain Rollon were sent to Saint Dominique to provide support to the colonists against the Spanish in neighboring Hispaniola. Soon after their arrival they were reassigned by Du Casse to cruise off Jamaica in early April 1694 where they eventually landed at Port Morant on the eastern coast of the island. Over a period of six to seven weeks they ravaged plantations destroyed over 50 sugar-works and kidnapped hundreds of slaves along with killing and torturing numerous English colonists. Soon to follow Du Casse assembling a small fleet of colonial brigantines and sloops embarked from Saint Dominique with 1500 men for Jamaica. He set sail down the southern coast to Carlisle Bay en route to Spanish Town which he planned to plunder. However a militia company of planters and slaves successfully defended their ground and Du Casse withdrew to St. Dominque but not before destroying Carlisle Bay. "The expeditions richest prize was undoubtedly the 1300 to 3000 captured slaves who proved crucial to the immediate future prosperity of the French colony" Pritchard p. 318 where our narrator points out they could be sold for 60 to 120 piastres each.</p><p>Narrated chronologically the eye-witness account gives vivid testimony to the preparations execution and aftermath of the expedition against Jamaica over the spring and summer months and into the fall of 1694 touching on the internal state of martial affairs between the Spanish and French on the divided island they occupied together. The narrator's lively digressions and personal reflections leave no doubt that he was on the spot when he comments on the disease probably Yellow Fever which ravaged the crews the tremors under foot which incited fear of another earthquake like the one which flattened Port Royal two years before the unexpected collateral encounters and skirmishes with the English in the area related through colorful anecdotes and the general atmosphere of depravation of the crews and the weakness of the Saint Dominique defenses against incursion by the Spanish as a result in large part to the lack of sufficient material support coming from France. </p><p>"If Du Casse could declare the attack on Jamaica a success the same conclusion could not be made by the navy. By August sickness was swiftly reducing crew numbers. <i>Le Solide</i> which had been long in the Islands was immediately sent back to France her crew being too diminished for further use. <i>Le Téméraire</i> had lost 50 of her best sailors and the captain of the English prize now called <i>Le Faucon</i> had died. By September <i>L'Envieux</i> had lost 100 men including her captain and disease claimed Captain du Rollon of Le <i>Téméraire</i>. The four warships including <i>Le Hazardeux</i> departed Cap Francais in early October but further disaster awaited them in the Atlantic" Pritchard p.318– storms capture by the English starvation fire shipwreck disappearance and death. Of the 350 men who departed France at the beginning of the year only 130 returned by year's end. </p><p>Collated against the copy at the Collection de la ville de Bordeaux Bibliotheque municipale see https://issuu.com/scduag/docs/bbx17016 a copy with numerous printer's creases significantly obscuring text; Pritchard <i>In Search of Empire: The French in the Americas 1670-1730</i> Cambridge 2004; Charlevoix <i>Histoire de l'Isle Espagnole ou de S.

‎Colonial Caribbean Photography Archive: Jamaica St. Thomas Trinidad and Bermuda Circa 1910s-1920s‎

‎1910. Caribbean Photography Large-format Caribbean photography archive documenting everyday life labor and landscape across multiple British Caribbean territories during the early twentieth century. Produced circa 1910s-1920s the photographs depict Jamaica St. Thomas Trinidad and Bermuda at a time when maritime trade imperial administration and expanding leisure travel were reshaping island economies and social environments. The images record agricultural labor coastal fishing village and market activity transportation routes and the built environment of island communities offering visual evidence of how Caribbean societies lived and worked within systems of colonial governance during the decades preceding the major economic disruptions of the Great Depression. Scenes of women carrying fruit children in domestic garden spaces and fishermen working near the shoreline provide direct documentation of gendered labor and community life rarely preserved in formal colonial records.<br /> <br /> Archive of 19 original silver gelatin photographs taken across Jamaica St. Thomas Trinidad and Bermuda circa 1910s-1920s. The photographs depict tropical interior landscapes palm-lined roads coastal harbors village and town infrastructure markets and local economies and scenes of daily labor and recreation among local inhabitants. Several photographs show women working balancing baskets of fruit atop their heads and fishermen working along shorelines while others present panoramic views of bays harbors and anchored ships alongside expanding waterfront construction. Architectural views include roads market environments and hotel grounds illustrating the physical fabric of island towns and the commercial transport infrastructure threaded through them. Each photograph measures approximately 8 x 10 inches and retains a penciled caption on the verso identifying the scene or location. The geographic range - from Jamaica's mountainous interior and coastal towns to maritime scenes in Trinidad Bermuda and St. Thomas - creates a comparative visual record of early twentieth-century Caribbean environments shaped by plantation economies maritime trade routes and the transatlantic shipping networks operating across the region during the period. Light handling wear with occasional surface scuffing visible on several prints and mild curling along some edges. Images remain well contrasted with strong clarity. Overall very good condition. A substantial early photographic record of Caribbean landscapes labor and community life spanning several islands during a formative period in the region's economic and visual history. unknown‎

‎Recueil de divers voyages faits en Afrique et en l'Amérique qui n'ont point esté encore publiez, contenant l'origine, les mœurs, les coutumes & le commerce des habitans de ces deux parties du monde.‎

‎Paris, Louis Billaine, 1674. in-4 (228x164) , relié plein veau , filets sur les plats , dos à nerfs orné avec titre , auteur et date (reliure pastiche),tranches rouge. L'ouvrage est illustré de 12 planches hors texte, une carte de l'Éthiopie dans le texte, trois cartes dépliantes (Barbades, Jamaïque et Virginie, Maryland et la Nouvelle-Angleterre) manque la carte du Nil, mouillures, déchirure et réparation au pli (carte des Barbardes)‎

‎Ensemble rarissime de dix relations de voyages en Afrique et en Amérique. Cette compilation réunit dix récits de voyages reliés dans un ordre qui pourra sembler curieux au lecteur. Justel s'en explique dans sa préface : "ceux à qui j'avais parlé de ce recueil me l'ont demandé avec tant d'empressement, que j'ai fait mettre les relations sous presse, à mesure qu'elles sont sorties des mains du traducteur, ce qui m'a obligé de faire succéder immédiatement à une relation de l'Amérique celle du Nil". On y trouvera également des textes plus surprenants, comme cette amusante description "de la fameuse licorne, des lieux où elle est nourrie et comme elle est formé’’ Ce recueil réunit dix relations de voyages, anonymes pour la plupart : Histoire de l'isle des Barbardes, par Richard Ligon, 1657. – Relation de la rivière du Nil, de sa source et de son cours. – Extrait de l'histoire d'Éthiopie, par B. Tellez. – Relation de l'origine... des Caraïbes sauvages, par La Borde. – Relation de la Guiane. – Relation de l'estat present de l'isle de la Jamaïque. – Relation de l'isle des Barbades. – Description de l'Isle de Saint-Christophe. – Relation du voyage fait sur les costes d'Afrique, 1670. – Description de l'Empire du Prête-Jean. Certains des voyages et des cartes font leurs premières apparitions publiées ici, parmi lesquelles la carte de la Nouvelle-Angleterre représentant les côtes du Maryland et de la Virginie, gravée par R. Michault, et celle contenue dans la description de l'île de Jamaïque de Richard Blome. First edition, quarto, illustrated with five folding engravings (including maps, lacking the folding map of the Nile), and ten full-paged engravings; bound in full modern calf, antique style; ex libris Mercantile Library of Philadelphia, with ownership stamps; paper brittle, some waterstaining. A collection of significant and interesting voyages, edited by a scholar and book collector who served in the employ of Louis XIV before being appointed Keeper of the King's Library at St. James by Charles II. The compilation includes French-language travelogues of Barbados, the Nile River, Ethiopia, "l'Empire du Prète-Jean", Guiana, Jamaica, and the English colonies, with illustrations including banana and palmetto trees, Caribbean pottery, and maps of New England, Jamaica (including Florida and the Antilles), and Barbados. Some of both the voyages and the maps make their first published appearances here-among them the New England map depicting the Maryland and Virginia coastlines, engraved by R. Michault after one contained in Richard Blome's Description of the Island of Jamaica, part of which work appears here translated into French. Altogether, a volume notable both for its strong African and North American content and for the aesthetic appeal of its plates and pleasingly ornamented typography. M7-A‎
