‎DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE. Botanique. Isolepis uninodis Scirpus caducus Fimbristylis ferrugineum. Histoire Naturelle planche 6‎

‎Paris: Imprimerie Impériale 1809. Fine. Imprimerie Impériale Paris 1809-1829 71 x 54 cm une feuille Original etching in plano untrimmed extracted from the so-called ""Imperial"" edition of the 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. Produced between February 1802 and 1829 by order of Napoleon Bonaparte and published from 1809 actually 1810 it was printed in 1000 copies on watermarked laid paper ""Égypte ancienne et moderne"" and offered to institutions. Plate belonging to the Botany section whose study was carried out by Alire Raffeneau-Delile 1778-1850 French botanist who participated in the Egyptian campaign and who brought back notably the lotus and papyrus. Light and marginal foxing with slight touching to the engraving otherwise very fine freshness and preservation. NATURAL HISTORY volume botany: These engravings show the scientific genius of French scholars at work on Egyptian soil preparing it to become a French colony. This colonizing project in gestation since the reign of Louis XIV was accompanied with Bonaparte's arrival by an in-depth study of fauna and flora through the work of the greatest naturalists mineralogists entomologists of the time. The Description de l'Egypte reveals the entirety of this immense scientific enterprise through its engravings after drawings by members of the Academy of Sciences including Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hillaire Alire Raffenau-Delile or Henri-Joseph Redouté. According to the words of Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire ""Nous avons recueilli les matériaux du plus bel ouvrage qu'une nation ait pu faire entreprendre. En déplorant le sort de tant de braves guerriers qui après tant de glorieux exploits ont succombé en Egypte on se consolera par l'existence d'ouvrages aussi précieux."" ""We have gathered the materials for the finest work that a nation could undertake. While deploring the fate of so many brave warriors who after so many glorious exploits succumbed in Egypt one will be consoled by the existence of such precious works."" THE DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE IMPERIAL edition 1809-1829: La Description de l'Egypte is one of the masterpieces of French publishing and the starting point of a new science: Egyptology. Titanic exposition of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests between 1798 and 1799 it is divided into 23 volumes including 13 volumes of engravings gathering nearly 1000 plates in black and 72 in color. The 6 volumes of plates entitled Antiquités are devoted to the splendors of Pharaonic Egypt. L'Histoire naturelle is divided into 3 volumes of engravings. One volume is devoted to Cartes géographiques et topographiques while the 3 volumes : Etat Moderne present a striking portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's armies of the Orient. The ""Egyptian campaign"" military disaster reveals through the engravings of the Description de l'Egypte the scientific success it became thanks to the some 167 scholars members of the Commission of Sciences and Arts of the Institute of Egypt who followed Napoleon's army. The Institute brought together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects doctors. They were charged with rediscovering modern and ancient Egypt showing its natural riches and the know-how of its inhabitants. The first edition called ""Imperial"" of the Description de l'Egypte was produced in four large formats two of them specially created for it and called ""Moyen-Egypte"" and ""Grand-Egypte"" formats. A specific press was built for its printing which stretched over twenty years between 1809 and 1829. The Imperial edition proved so popular that a second edition in 37 volumes entirely in black and without the ""Egypte ancienne et moderne"" watermark called the ""Panckoucke"" edition was published from 1821 by the C.-L.-F.

Dibdin 2220: 'under the care of the celebrated Camerarius and by the help of several important MSS. there was hardly a verse in the poets quoted but what received very considerable emendation. . A volume thus intrinsically valuable will not fail to find a purchaser at a reasonable price'; Ebert 12716; Graesse 4330 Details: Later vellum 18th century. Brown morocco shield on the back. 2 thongs laced through both joints. Large printer's mark of Hervagius Johann Herwagen the elder on the title and a different one on the verso of the last leaf both depicting a three headed Hermes on a pillar. Woodcut initials 8 woodcuts and a woodcut map of the world in the text Condition: Some small and almost invisible repairs of the vellum. Corners of the shield on the back partly gone. Title browning paper yellowing some slight foxing. Wormhole in the right uppercorner of ca. 80 p. not coming near any text. Pastedowns affected by a few small unobjectional wormholes Note: Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius a Roman senator and a classical scholar of the early 5th century A.D. 'was a notable link between the cultures of antiquity and the Middle Ages'. This edition contains his 2 most important works the 'Saturnalia' and his 'Commentarii in Somnium Scipionis' the 'Dream of Scipio' a commentary on a part of 'De Republica' of the Roman orator Cicero. The 'Saturnalia' is a learned compilation in 7 books cast in dialogue form in which the cultural life of the former generation is idealized. Macrobius' aim is to provide his son with all the necessary hard to come by scientific knowledge. He did so in the form of a banquet. Macrobius was inspired by the Ciceronian dialogues 'De Oratore' and 'De Republica'. 'Set during the Saturnalia of 383 it gathers several conspicuously non-Christian members of the aristocracy and their entourage to discuss matters ridiculous . and sublime . above all the poetry of Virgil. Quarried from mostly unnamed sources - including Gellius Seneca Plutarch and the tradition of scholastic commentary today known from Servius the discussion presents Virgil as the master of all human knowledge'. More influential in the Middle Ages and Renaissance was the commentary of Macrobius on the 'Somnium Scipionis'. Macrobius uses Cicero's text De Republica 610 ff as the starting point for a thoroughly Neoplatonic treatment of especially cosmology and the soul's ascent to the One with direct debts to Porphyry and Plotinus.' Discussed are matters of mathematics physics cosmology astronomy geography and ethics. He thus forged a kind of compendium of science and philosophy which transmitted classical knowledge to the medieval world and was to hold a central position in the intellectual development of the West during the Middle Ages. His books belong to the basic sources of the scholastic movement and of medieval science. His work left traces in the works of Dante Chaucer Vives and Spenser. Source for M. and the quotations: 'The Classical Tradition' Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 553. § Joachim Camerarius 1500-1574 holds one of the foremost places among the German classical scholars of the 16th century. Gudeman calls him even 'der bedeutendste Philologe Deutschlands im 16. Jahrh.' Grundriss der Geschichte der klassischen Philologie Lpz. 1909 p. 216 He held professorships at Nuremberg Tübingen and Leipzig. 'His numerous editions of the Classics without attaining the highest rank are characterized by acumen and good taste'. Sandys 'History of Classical Scholarship' 2 p. 266/67 Camerarius was a man of vast knowledge. He also wrote on history theology mathematics astronomy and paedagogy. He seems to have been just the man for editing the encyclopaedic works of Macrobius. Camerarius had evidently a high opinion of himself and his talents. Such we gather from the following distich on the titlepage: 'Qui tamen et nostri numerum vult scire laboris annumeret versus totius ille libri' i.e. he left his mark in every line of verse in Macrobius. This book contains furthermore an interesting Macrobian map a map which for a 1000 years formed the basis of world geography. It was first printed in 1482 showing the continents in the 'Alveus Oceani' a big Europe and a rather small Africa and Asia. The round map is typically divided in 5 climatic zones. It shows the pre-Renaissance view of the world Antipodeans and all. Our map shows the awakening of the passion for exploration and the cartographic progress in this period. Africa and Asia have grown hugely and Europe has shrunk considerably. The lines of the climatic zone on the first map of 1482 were straight suggesting a flat earth on our map the lines are convex indicating a world which is really a round ball. And the Antipodean part has gone. No sign however of America. The literature on the development of the Macrobian world view is immense Provenance: On the front flyleaf in pencil '7 januari 1961' written by the Flemish linguist Walter Couvreur 1914-1996 who was an Orientalist and professor of Indoeuropean linguistics at the University of Gent.

As the foreword recalls this short story by Madame de Genlis had originally appeared in the Bibliothèque des romans volume V. Contemporary full brown grained sheep binding. Smooth spine with 4 dots and fillets. Black calf title-label. One tear with small loss to upper cover. One corner slightly bumped. Fine copy fresh. At end: Work by Madame de Genlis sold by the same bookseller. The forgotten masterpiece of the Comtesse de Genlis a short story with classical writing that responds so well to the writing precept she established: ""clarity naturalness purity elegance are the indispensable marks of good style"" and to her conception of the short story: ""in this last work everything must move toward the goal with rapidity or everything must relate to it."" Mademoiselle de Clermont recounts the authentic passion of young Marie-Anne de Bourbon-Condé princess of the blood for a duke whom her social rank forbids her to marry. In this true story reported to the author no facility such as love at first sight the outpouring of amorous language. The short story is brief effective stripped of all artifice. ""Mme de Genlis the narrator constructs narrative structures where through a subtle interplay between the time of telling and the time of what is told narration in the past and commentary in the present succeed each other; frame narrative and embedded narrative.

‎Paris: Lucien Vogel éditeur 1924. Fine. Lucien Vogel éditeur Paris 1924 19.50 x 25 cm une feuille Original color print printed on vergé paper signed in the plate. An original print used to illustrate the Gazette du bon ton one of the most attractive and influential 20th century fashion magazines featuring the talents of French artists and other contributors from the burgeoning Art Deco movement. A celebrated fashion magazine established in 1912 by Lucien Vogel La Gazette du bon ton appeared until 1925 with a hiatus from 1915 to 1920 due to the war the editor-in-chief having been called up for service. It consisted of 69 issues printed in only 2000 copies each and notably illustrated with 573 color plates and 148 sketches of the models of the great designers. Right from the start this sumptuous publication “was aimed at bibliophiles and fashionable society” Françoise Tétart-Vittu “La Gazette du bon ton” in Dictionnaire de la mode 2016 and was printed on fine vergé paper using a type cut specially for the magazine by Georges Peignot known as Cochin later used in 1946 by Christian Dior. The prints were made using stencils heightened in colors some highlighted in gold or palladium. The story began in 1912 when Lucien Vogel a man of the world involved in fashion he had already been part of the fashion magazine Femina decided with his wife Cosette de Brunhoff – the sister of Jean creator of Babar – to set up the Gazette du bon ton subtitled at the time: “Art fashion frivolities.” Georges Charensol noted the reasoning of the editor-in-chief: “'In 1910' he observed ‘there was no really artistic fashion magazine nothing representative of the spirit of the time. My dream was therefore to make a luxury magazine with truly modern artists…I was assured of success because when it comes to fashion no country on earth can compete with France.'” “Un grand éditeur d'art. Lucien Vogel” in Les Nouvelles littéraires no. 133 May 1925. The magazine was immediately successful not only in France but also in the United States and Latin America. At first Vogel put together a team of seven artists: André-Édouard Marty and Pierre Brissaud followed by Georges Lepape and Dammicourt as well as eventually his friends from school and the School of Fine Arts like George Barbier Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Charles Martin. Other talented people soon came flocking to join the team: Guy Arnoux Léon Bakst Benito Boutet de Monvel Umberto Brunelleschi Chas Laborde Jean-Gabriel Domergue Raoul Dufy Édouard Halouze Alexandre Iacovleff Jean Émile Laboureur Charles Loupot Chalres Martin Maggie Salcedo. These artist mostly unknown when Lucien Vogel sought them out later became emblematic and sought-after artistic figures. It was also they who worked on the advertising drawings for the Gazette. The plates put the spotlight on and celebrate dresses by seven designers of the age: Lanvin Doeuillet Paquin Poiret Worth Vionnet and Doucet. The designers provided exclusive models for each issue. Nonetheless some of the illustrations are not based on real models but simply on the illustrator's conception of the fashion of the day. The Gazette du bon ton was an important step in the history of fashion. Combining aesthetic demands with the physical whole it brought together – for the first time – the great talents of the artistic literary and fashion worlds; and imposed through this alchemy a completely new image of women: slender independent and daring which was shared by the new generation of designers including Coco Chanel Jean Patou Marcel Rochas and so on… Taken over in 1920 by Condé Montrose Nast the Gazette du bon ton was an important influence on the new layout and aesthetics of that “little dying paper” that Nast had bought a few years earlier: Vogue.

Les journées amusantes were originally published from 1722 to 1731. Title pages in red and black. Contemporary full blonde sheep binding. Decorated spine with raised bands. Lacks to upper joints at head of volumes I and IV. Lack to headcap of volume III. Tail headcap of volume IV split. Some corners slightly bumped. Despite the noted defects the set is in good condition overall. A prolific author Madame de Gomez achieved great favor in Europe with Les journées amusantes which were undoubtedly one of the bestsellers of the period. These journées are similar in structure to Boccaccio's Decameron and to Marguerite de Navarre's Heptameron. Composed of 18 days within which six narrators tell stories. What characterizes the writing of the Journées amusantes is the encyclopedic and erudite richness characteristic of the work which ultimately worked against it over time; it aimed with a certain deliberate archaism to pay homage to 17th-century French gallant literature.

‎MAE McLOUTH‎

‎1913 - 1940 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND JOURNAL OF A YOUNG WOMAN'S TRAGIC STORY OF HER MOTHER'S EARLY DEATH A FATHER'S LOSS OF LOVE A TREACHEROUS AUNT AND A CARNIVAL THAT LEADS TO COCAINE AND CRIMINALITY‎

‎Buffalo New York NY. Fair. 1913. On offer is an extraordinary original manuscript journal detailing the beginning and up to the almost ending of a young 13 year old girl whose life turns so tragically with the death of her mother in early 1913 the loss of her father's love and the steady and not too slow descent into drugs and all manners of criminality. Using a 14.5 x 10.5 inch scrapbook our author Mae McLouth b. April 25th 1899 who inscribes the book with instructions for its delivery after her death to a friend. In all there 47 or so pages fully written with her story plus a few pages of genealogical notes and other writings pertinent to her family. The story of her life is all too tragic and certain: a mother's untimely death a father unable to recover older siblings with no care a treacherous aunt who delivers her to a convent an escape and then joining a carnival she escapes further. Soon after she is taking cocaine 'dope' discussing needles 'hypos' and within a few pages she is in prison. She does a short essay on the differences between cocaine and morphine and paints a real picture of early 20th Century drug culture and drug abuse and of course the consequences. Life continues along the same vein many years but then in the last entry dated 1940 written 3-4 years since the entry before she was not great dating entries where we read with some relief that she and her husband Joe are now settled have a trucking and moving business and rent out rooms. She seems to have made up with some of her siblings too. A happy ending but very unexpected given the depth of her self abuse. The large folio book has covers detached front cover present back cover absent. The pages are brittle on the edges but so far there is no loss.
