Souvenir de CREVECOEUR LE GRAND. Ensemble de 10 photographies originales, avec décors et illustrations manuscrits Belle Epoque (circa 1900).
Sans lieu, circa 1900. 35 X 26 cm (planches), environ 8 x 11 cm (photos). 2 planches. Ensemble de 10 photographies originales sur papier, réparties sur 2 planches, illustrées à la main, à l'encre et à la gouache. Les photographies retracent un parcours touristique dans la ville de Crèvecoeur-le-Grand (la Mairie, le Château, l'ancien Hôtel de l'Ecu où Dumas logea d'Artagnan et les trois Mousquetaires, sur le cadran solaire se trouve cette maxime : "Time horam ne sivas", Haute Epine près Crèvecoeur, le baptême de Mlle Yvette). Très beaux titres, à l'encre, planches illustrées de dessin à l'encre et d'un à la gouache, photographies en partie légendées. Très intéressant ensemble, qui reflète une certaine diffusion sociale de la pratique photographique - au sein de l'élite bourgeoise - à la fin du XIXe siècle, en lien avec l'évolution des techniques, à la fois en ce qui concerne la prise de vue et les procédés de tirage. Equipés d'appareils d'utilisation de plus en plus aisée, de nombreux amateurs immortalisent alors les petits et grands moments de la vie de tous les jours, constituant albums de souvenirs et collections privées qui consacrent le rôle désormais essentiel de l'image dans la culture de la Belle Epoque. L'auteur de ces clichés, qui ne manquait ni d'humour ni de talent, a par ailleurs enrichi son travail artisanal d'autres éléments esthétiques : décors et ornements graphiques issus de l'univers du livre (imitant fleurons,bandeaux, culs-de-lampe, séparations de chapitres...), dessins "classiques" (paysages, portraits), inspirés du mouvement Art Nouveau ou influencés par la presse et l'affiche (typographie fantaisiste, caricatures,...).

Souvenirs de Belgique. Ensemble de 50 Photographies originales de Bruxelles, Anvers, Ostende et Bruges, avec décors et illustrations manuscrits Belle Epoque (circa 1900).
s.l., ca 1900. 35 X 26 cm (planches), environ 6 x 8 cm, 7,5 x 8,5 cm, 8 x 11 cm, (photos). 9 planches. Ensemble de 50 photographies originales sur papier, réparties sur 9 planches, titrées et illustrées à la main, à l'encre et à la gouache. Les photographies retracent un parcours touristique en Belgique, de la Grand Place et des rues de Bruxelles au bois de La Cambre, en passant par le célèbre Manneken Pis, de la gare du Midi à la Bourse et à Laeken, puis dans plusieurs quartiers de Bruges (quais, Grand' Place, églises, beffroi et cathédrale...), avec un cliché du tramway à vapeur de Han à Rochefort, les alentours du port et de la gare d'Ostende, et enfin Anvers, ses gares, son port, sa cathédrale, son jardin zoologique... De nombreuses illustrations ornent également les planches : les armoiries de chaque ville sont représentées, des paysages (à l'encre ou à l'aquarelle et à la gouache) complètent les photographies, des personnages animent les marges, sans oublier frises, décors, vignettes et ornementations diverses. Tous les titres bénéficient d'un travail particulier de la typographie. Très intéressant ensemble, qui reflète une certaine diffusion sociale de la pratique photographique - au sein de l'élite bourgeoise - à la fin du XIXe siècle, en lien avec l'évolution des techniques, à la fois en ce qui concerne la prise de vue et les procédés de tirage.

[ANSON'S VOYAGE]. THOMAS, Pascoe.
A true and impartial Journal of a Voyage to the South-Seas and round the Globe in His Majesty's Ship the Centurion under the Command of Commodore Anson.
London Birt 1745. . First edition; 8vo xvi 347 i 39 ipp. a couple of gatherings in the appendix slightly proud contemporary sprinkled calf lightly rubbed short splits to joints corners bumped a very good copy.<br /> 'Pascoe Thomas kept a full and faithful daily journal of the incidents of this important four-year voyage. Included is an appendix giving an account of the treasure taken from the Nuestra Signora del Buono Carmella. This account. preceded the publication of the official account of Lord Anson's voyage by three years' Hill. At the bottom of page 36 of the appendix the exact latitude and remarkably the longitude of the fabled Strait of Anian are provided. This precise location of the Pacific entrance to the elusive Northwest Passage came from a Spanish document captured by Anson and gave rise to the suspicion that the Spanish had discovered the passage but kept it secret. <br /><br />Anson's voyage was a landmark of 18th-century English circumnavigation laying the groundwork for the British exploration of the Pacific in the later half of the 18th century. The expedition set out to cut off Spanish supplies of gold and silver from South America after the outbreak of war in 1739. Whilst successful taking a number of prize ships off the Philippines the cost was high: six ships were wrecked off the coast of South America or in rounding Cape Horn. <br /> Hill 1693; Sabin 95437.

Des Weyland Durchl. Printzens Maximilian Emanuels Hertzogs in Würtemberg etc. [...] Reisen und Campagnen durch Teutschland in Polen, Lithauen, roth und weiß Reußland, Volhynien, Severien und Ukrainie. [...] Nebst der Reys-Beschreibung von Pultawa nach Bender. Stuttgart, auf Kosten des Authoris, 1730.
8vo. (12), (2), 453 [but: 451; omitting 177/178] pp., ff. 454-456, 457-480 [but: 470], 481-653, (1) pp. With engraved portrait frontispiece. Contemporary blindstamped leather over wooden boards on 4 raised bands; giltstamped oval armorial supralibros to both covers. All edges red. 2 clasps. Rare first edition of this eyewitness account of the Great Northern War, in which the "Little Prince" Maximilian Emanuel of Wuerttemberg-Winnental (1689-1709) took part on the Swedish side. Captured by the Russians in the Battle of Poltava, he died at Dubno. On his journeys he was accompanied by the preacher J. W. Bardili (1676-1740, grandson of the physician Carl Bardili), who later published the present report, containing numerous interesting geographico-cultural observations on Belarus, Smolensk, Sivershchyna, Volhynia and the Ukraine: "The country known as Ukrainie is splendidly fertile and produces such amounts of crops that they can impossibly be stored away, for which reason a large proportion of grain is used for brandy, a drink of which the inhabitants are not only great connoisseurs, but of which they are also wont to possess quite significant quantities. The grass is rich [...]. Thus fed, the Cossacks' horses grow very strong and durable, and they are able to remain outside, throughout summer and winter, until they are five or six years old, and only then are they slowly accustomed to the saddle and bridle" (cf. p. 422). From p. 481 onwards, the book contains an anonymous account of the ensuing events informed by the operations of the Ottoman Empire (such as the Turkish captivity of Charles XII at Bender). - Some occasional browning and staining due to paper. The half-title belonging to the appendix ("Reise-Beschreibung von Pultawa nach Bender", pp. 481 ff.) is erroneously bound after the preliminaries. Both covers bear the giltstamped arms of the Benedictine monk and scholar Gottfried (Johann Georg) Bessel (1672-1749), the probably most important abbot of the Austrian Abbey of Göttweig (1714-49), which he had rebuilt in 1718, following a fire, based on plans by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. Hailed as "Germany's Mabillon" for his pioneering work in diplomatics and the auxiliary sciences of history, Bessel authored the "Chronicon Gotwicense" and served as rector of the University of Vienna from 1714 to 1716.

[BAUDIN VOYAGE] MILBERT, Jacques Gerard.</p> <p>
Original drawing of a scene in Mauritius: "Vue prise sur le chemin du Tamarin à l'ile de France
Mauritius 1803. Fine original condition. Pencil sketch 135 x 195 mm.; laid down on the original blue-paper mount signed on the lower left of the mount and captioned. <p><p>A striking pencil sketch by the Baudin voyage artist Milbert done in the south-west of Mauritius after he had jumped ship from the Géographe on Baudin's expedition to Australia and the Pacific in 1801. </p> <p>Jacques-Gérard Milbert 1766-1840 had joined the Baudin expedition as one of the official artists but took advantage of an illness to be left behind in Port Louis when the ships sailed for New Holland several of his shipmates commented that the artist had seemed depressed and anxious about the voyage. In a curious twist he was still in Port Louis when the Géographe returned from Australia in 1803 and rejoined the expedition. Back in France Milbert was given the task of overseeing the publication of the plates for Péron and Freycinet's official account 1807-1816 and also wrote his own companion account the Voyage Pittoresque of 1812 a work of significance for the natural history of the region in which he described himself both as a Baudin artist and as the "directeur" of engravings.</p> <p>In the book he wrote that during his time on the island he made two long expeditions in the south-east and was overawed by the rugged wonders of the landscape particularly in the locality of the present scene along the small and remote Rivière du Tamarin with its "plusieurs cascades magnifiques." He poetically recounted how in the region one travelled to the sound of the blows of the axes clearing a path through the liana which enveloped the trees and how many of the larger trees appeared to have been thrown down by nature to serve the weaker and parasitic vegetations and to nourish them in the otherwise barren earth: as a description of the present scene this could scarcely be bettered. </p> <p>The sketch showcases Milbert's particular skill in rendering botanical scenes and makes an important addition to the rather slender group of known works by him particularly relating to his time in the Indian Ocean. Of the three men in the clearing the seated figure at far left in a hat is likely to be Milbert himself given that a similar figure with a palette also appears in many of his finished engravings.</p> <p>On an intimate scale and full of botanical detail this sketch makes a fascinating counterpoint to the great engraved views of his book most obviously one showing the main waterfall at the nearby "Cascade du Tamarin" but also to several others which show slaves labouring to fell trees and mill logs.</p> </p> . Provenance: North American source believed to derive from the same original source as a Lesueur drawing described by us elsewhere and to have been among the archive left in America by Milbert. unknown

[BAUDIN VOYAGE] LESUEUR, Charles-Alexandre (attrib.)
Original drawing of Port Louis from the Ile aux Tonneliers
Port Louis Mauritius 1801. A little browning and some light creasing to the paper particularly noticeable on the margins generally very good the actual scene crisp and clear. Pencil drawing 263 x 428 mm. fugitive note in pencil lower right; mounted. <p><p>A fine pencil sketch of Port Louis Mauritius with the Géographe at the precise anchorage Baudin noted in his journal: any original depiction of the ship is an important discovery let alone such a comprehensive view of this important harbour as the great explorers would have known it. In the foreground ranged dramatically towards the viewer are the cannons of the fort on the low-lying Ile aux Tonneliers the man sketching between two of the guns presumably the artist himself. The background is dominated by the dramatic ridges of the mountains while the foreshore is rendered in accurate detail ranging from the Trou Fanfaron on the left to the open country beyond the slave encampments on the right. Charles-Alexandre Lesueur 1778-1846 was appointed to the Géographe because of his skills as a scientific artist: such was his ability that he and his great friend François Péron were appointed to publish the official voyage account alongside Milbert who was in charge of the engravings. </p> <p>Although not signed the view is based on a preliminary pencil study by Lesueur held in the museum at Le Havre which has an identical perspective and includes all of the main features of the foreground including the fort itself the details of the ramparts and the Géographe "suite de la vue prise à l'île aux tonnelliers sic" Baglione & Crémière p. 52. </p> <p>In fact stylistically and technically the drawing appears to be a finished study for a never completed engraving: the style shape and layout of the scene is closely in keeping with the two known plates which depict Timor and Port Jackson both also after Lesueur and both of which show the Géographe from an almost identical angle. It is certainly possible that the present scene was being considered for publication as the third of the three main European settlements visited on the expedition but was ultimately abandoned: the torturous publishing history of the Baudin voyage makes such a hypothesis genuinely quite likely not least because of the provenance.</p> </p> . Provenance: Baudin voyage artist Jacques-Gérard Milbert when he was in the USA between 1815 and 1823: the view was in a small portfolio of works he gave to one of his students which included at least one other Lesueur watercolour and several of Milbert's own important views. The entire portfolio remained with the family of the student whose name is now recorded only as "Raschmann" until about 1990 when it was sold to an art dealer in California. unknown

[BAUDIN VOYAGE] MILBERT, Jacques Gerard
Voyage pittoresque à l'Ile-de-France au cap de Bonne-Espérance et à l'île de Ténériffe…
Paris: A. Nepveu 1812. Two volumes octavo of text with small folio atlas of 45 plates and charts 5 folding; the text volumes in contemporary quarter calf bindings spines gilt with double labels the atlas completely unbound and the loose plates contained in a matching bookform case. <p><p>A significant and well-illustrated "alternative" account of a portion of the Baudin voyage to the southern lands documenting the early stages of the voyage aboard the Géographe but chiefly detailing life and conditions at Mauritius. </p> <p>Jacques-Gérard Milbert 1766-1840 French naturalist and artist was invited by Bory de Saint Vincent to join the Baudin expedition as one of the official artists but took advantage of an illness to be left in Port Louis when the ships sailed for New Holland several of his shipmates commented that the artist had seemed depressed and anxious about the voyage. Unlike most of the many sailors and scientists who jumped ship after the voyage's quarrelsome beginnings he seems to have gone in good faith charged with investigating the natural history of the island in the absence of the two ships: certainly he happily returned on board the Géographe for the return voyage to France in 1804 overlapping with the arrival of Flinders at the end of 1803 and the beginning of the Englishman's long involuntary residence on the island.</p> <p>Back in France Milbert was given the task of overseeing the publication of the plates for Péron and Freycinet's official account of the voyage Voyage de Découvertes aux Terres Australes 1807-1816 and also wrote this companion account a work of significance for its account of Mauritius and particularly the natural history of the region. The title-page described Milbert as director of the engravings for the "partie Historique" of the Baudin voyage account giving his book some quasi-official status. Milbert's friend Bory de Saint Vincent also produced a book which included a description of his own truncated presence on the Baudin voyage Voyage dans les quatres principales iles des mers d'Afrique 1804; his account is more scientific while Milbert's gives the best notice of life on the island at the time of Baudin and Flinders.</p> <p>The fine series of illustrations includes a magnificent depiction as well as one of the most detailed charts of the harbour and township of Port Louis a "Vue des Plaines de Wilhems" the area where Flinders passed much of his imprisonment and a "Vue de l'habitation de Mr. Céré aux Pamplemousses" the Céré family was well known to Flinders and Céré himself was the superintendent of the Gardens which are also depicted.</p> </p> .
