LONDRES Explication des travaux entrepris pour la construction de la tonnelle ou passage sous la Tamise entre Rothehithe et Wapping à l'effet d'ouvrir une communication permanente entre les deux rives de ce fleuve An Explanation of the Works of the Tunnel Under the Thames from Rotherhithe to Wapping
Londres London: Warrington 1837. Fine. Warrington Londres London 1837 13.50 x 10.50 cm Plaquette brochée Second edition as scarce as the first published in 1836 of this pamphlet. Illustrated with a folding plate as frontispiece and 8 plates including two folding ones. With an engraved medallion on the cover. Spine lacking for two-thirds of its length without affecting the integrity of the work. NB: This item is available at the bookshop upon request within 48 hours. A remarkable record of the Thames Tunnel project. Work began in 1824 and faced numerous difficulties which this pamphlet reports. The tunnel was originally intended for horse-drawn traffic. In 1805 the Thames Archway Company had been founded to build a tunnel under the Thames between Rotherhithe and Limehouse but the scheme was abandoned after more than 1000 feet and was revived in 1824 thanks to Marc Brunel's tunneling system a cast-iron shield in which miners worked in separate compartments excavating the tunnel face. From time to time the shield was pushed forward in large stages while the walls of the tunnel already dug behind were lined with cast-iron rings. The illustration shows this system. It was this method that was later used in the construction of the Underground. The tunnel was finally completed in 1843 and was at first only used by pedestrians before being later acquired for railway traffic. Warrington unknown

Paris: Imprimerie Impériale 1809. Fine. Imprimerie Impériale Paris 1809-1829 70 x 51.50 cm 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 1000 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 les campagnes Imprimerie Impériale unknown

He is an essential figure of the literary scene of the early 17th century a true Molière character. Chez Augustin Courbé hardcover
