Voyage autour de ma chambre suivi du Lepreu de la Cite d'Aoste. Nouvelle edition D'apres celle de Saint-Petersbourg (1812), revue et augmentee.
Paris, Delaunay 1821. 12°. 207 S., zeitgen. HalbldrBd. mit Rückenpräg., vereinzelt stockfl., Kanten berieben. Barbier IV,1060; vgl. Le Petit 573 (Erste Ausgabe von 1794). Diese ortsgebundene Reisebeschreibung entstand als Folge eines Duells, das dem Autor 1790 zu einem vierzigtägigen Hausarrest verhalf. Das kleine Werk ist die Urform der sogen. "Zimmerreisen", zunächst als Parodie auf die zahlreichen Reiseberichte jener Zeit zu lesen.- Das im Anhang abgedruckte Werk (dt. 'Der Aussätzige von Aosta') entstand etwa 20 Jahre nach der 'Reise', als der Autor - Konterrevolutionär und Gegner der französ. Revolution - noch in Diensten der russischen Armee stand.

[Malaysia - Istana Besar].
Set of 3 photographs. [Singapore, ca. 1880-1900.
3 albumen prints. 265 x 210 mm. Each mounted on a cardboard carrier (330 x 420 mm). Handwritten German captions. Excellent professional photographs of Istana Besar, the royal palace of the Sultan of Johor in Johor Bahru. The residence was built in 1866 by Sultan Abu Bakar overlooking the Straits of Johor. The set comprises an external view of the residence as well as two images showing off the monarch's luxurious salon and dining room, featuring delicate furniture, large chandeliers and enormous vases, as well as paintings and a grand piano. - The photos were presumably taken by G. R. Lambert & Co., a Singapore photo studio founded in 1875 by the Berlin-born photographer Gustav Lambert. Setting up bases in the Deli Sultanate, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Borneo, the company quickly advanced to the biggest photo studio on the Malay Peninsula, producing some 3,000 images of the Far East at the turn of the century alone. - Cardboard somewhat browned and slightly foxed; images crisp and clean.

[manuscript; travel sketchbook]
1893 sketchbook of an Americans spring tour of key monuments in Europe
1893. Hardcover. Fine. Dated 1893 sketchbook album in oblong 12mo 120 x 170mm manuscript in pencil with drawings and notes; 40 cream sheets lightly aged at edges 2 sheets are blank. The sketches are generally of building façades captured from a distance but also with some extreme close-ups of sculptural details or decoration on the monuments from gothic towers to ornate door hinges. Some sketches are accompanied with notes by the artist and most are captioned with the site or dated with the month and year being 93. The formatting of the date and spelling throughout suggest this album belonged to an American traveler who visited several sites in Western Europe during the spring of 1893. The drawings are accomplished works of art done by a skillful hand perhaps a novice architect others are barely sketched perhaps unfinished but displaying an interesting narrative which weaves moments of voyage through Martigny St. Maurice and Lausanne in Switzerland; Heidelberg Castle Mainz Cathedral Mayence and Cologne Germany; Utrecht and Holland; and cathedrals at Soissons and Reims in France. Original canvas covers with elastic strap somewhat loose back cover splitting otherwise sound and in very good condition. Inside there is a label of the Carlo Cogiola store in Milan. A great little item full of classic yet original views of historical churches and building parts. <br/><br/> hardcover

[MANUSCRIPT - FRENCH - IMAGINARY VOYAGE].
Voyage imaginaire. Poème. Chant 1-4.
Adegeest manor house at Voorschoten between The Hague and Leiden 1853. Loose quires in cover: marbled boards joined together by a spine of red painted sheepskin green ties. Large 4to 27 x 21.5 cm. Extensive autograph poetical work in four Chants provided with elaborate notes containing a romantic imaginary voyage in French verses. The anonymous author - indicating himself with his initials "J.F. v. H. St." - has composed the poem at the manor house Adegeest at Voorschoten between The Hague and Leiden and has dated his work: Mars deleted and 1 April 1853. At the time the manor house was in the possession of the very rich family Dorrepad. G.L. Dorrepad 1816-1883 was an entrepreneur who had gathered his wealth in the Dutch East Indies he was involved f.e. in a notorious financial scandal denounced by the famous Sicco Roorda van Eysinga. To all probability our anonymous author was the private teacher for his children at Adegeest.In the introduction the author states that he had never visited the countries and regions he describes so passionately "N'ayant jamais visité les lieux que je decrits". Citing Cicero Lord Byron Alexandre Dumas and many others he concentrates on classical Greece and Italy and the Mediterranean.Contents: pp. I-V; Avertissement; 1-53: Chant premier; 55-81: Notes; 1-61: Chant second; 63-120: Notes; I-VI Avertissement; 1-68: Chant trousième; 69-132: Notes; 1-76: Chant quatrième; 77-136: Notes.Cover rubbed and spine damaged otherwise in good condition. hardcover

The initial images depict a family at a farm several of them scenes of working life including digging ditches and men on horseback; further on in the album there are more scenes of locals in the countryside documenting daily life. There are also numerous scenes in Mexico City and beyond including bull fights the cathedral street scenes and some images of railway lines. There are a few images of white folks on a beach followed by several photographs of soldiers both American and Mexican. Though a bit battered the album provides a glimpse into rural life in Mexico in the early 20th century and provides insight as to what tourists were photographing. unknown
