‎First edition of Niebuhr's great travel account of Arabia being a testament to one of the most significant and captivating exploratory journeys of the 18th century. Through meticulous mapping, cultural documentation, and scientific observations, Niebuhr's travelogue provided invaluable insights into Arabia, expanding geographic knowledge and influencing the field of Orientalism. Like his ""Beschribung von Arabien"", his ""Reisebeschreibung von Arabien"" ""provided a mass of new geographical, regional, and historical information... Among his many exact maps and plans, the map of the Red Sea and of Yemen served as the most reliable information for more than 50 years."" (Josef Wiesehöfer, Carsten Niebuhr (1733-1815)) Of the five scientists sent by the Danish government on the expedition, initiated by J. H. E. Bernstorff, Niebuhr was the sole survivor to return to Denmark"" the other four perished during the journey. The title vignettes were engraved by J. F. Clemens after drawings by Wiedewelt. Most of the engravings were based on drawings by Baurenfeind, who died during the expedition, while others were drawn by Niebuhr himself. The plates were engraved by Clemens, the Haas brothers, C. Defehrt, C. Martin, and others. ""Despite its tragic course, the expedition was a complete success with regard to its scientific and scholarly results. It was especially due to Niebuhr's efforts to preserve and continue his and his collegues' work, that the Royal Danish Library was eventually equipped with a host of oriental manuscripts, maps, and drawings, as well as many botanical and zoological specimens...

‎La révolution de Saint-Domingue‎

‎Le Cercle du Nouveau Livre d'Histoire 1966, IN/8, reliure éditeur en pleine toile orange, 230 pages. Cartes et photographies en noir. Exemplaire numéroté.‎

‎"A la fois récit impartial et sévère réquisitoire, il a la valeur d’un document : il éclaire d’une lumière crue un événement que le rôle joué aujourd’hui encore par la force dans le domaine internationale a rendu possible, mais qu’une grande partie de l’opinion publique dans le monde a condamné. On y voit une grande puissance — la plus forte de toutes — intervenir brusquement dans les affaires intérieures d’un petit pays, simplement parce que ses services de renseignements prétendent avoir décelé dans le camp révolutionnaire qui réclame le rétablissement de la Constitution une cinquantaine de communistes prêts à se saisir du pouvoir. Mais ce n’est là qu’un prétexte, tout comme l’intention affirmée de sauvegarder la sécurité des résidents américains ; en réalité l’intervention avait été décidée parce que les Etats-Unis considéraient que leurs intérêts étaient liés à la droite et à l’extrême-droite en République Dominicaine, et en premier lieu à ceux des militaires qui étaient pour le maintien des traditions dictatoriales et policières du régime de Trujillo."

Veau marron moucheté, filet doré encadrant les plats, dos à nerfs avec filets et fer floral dorés en caisson, titre doré, coiffes et coins restaurés anciennement, quelques frottements, infimes travaux de vers marginaux aux premiers feuillets (reliure hollandaise du temps).‎

‎Édition originale française, parue la même année que l'originale néerlandaise.Une extraordinaire source iconographique sur la Chine du XVIIe siècle. L'illustration gravée sur cuivre est composée, hors texte, d'un titre-frontispice, un portrait de Colbert, une carte dépliante de la Chine et 34 planches à double page ; et dans le texte, d'une marque typographique au titre, d'un bandeau, d'une lettrine en tête de l'épître, et de 109 vignettes dans le texte. Ce superbe travail d'illustration fut composé d'après les dessins que Nieuhoff effectua lui-même sur place : vues de villes et de forts, architecture civile et religieuse, scènes en costumes, faune et flore. L'abbé Prévost utilisa nombre de ces planches pour modèles lorsqu'il réalisa les illustrations de sa célèbre Histoire des voyages. Les dessins de Nieuhoff inspirèrent par ailleurs à l'Europe ce goût pour les chinoiseries qui fit fureur aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles.Un témoignage irremplaçable sur la Chine des Q'ing. Quand, après son changement dynastique de 1644, la Chine décida d'ouvrir le port de Canton au commerce extérieur, la Compagnie hollandaise des Indes orientales envoya dès 1655 des représentants, Pierre de Goyer et Jacob Keyser, pour établir des relations commerciales. Conseillés par les mandarins locaux, ils décidèrent de se rendre ensuite auprès de l'empereur à Pékin pour obtenir la permission de commercer à l'intérieur du pays. La présente relation, fondée sur les papiers de l'intendant d'ambassade, Jean Nieuhoff, décrit la remontée par voie fluviale de Canton à Pékin. La narration est largement entrecoupée de passages descriptifs et analytiques qui se révèlent précieux sur la Chine des débuts de la dynastie mandchoue des Q'ing.Bel exemplaire en reliure de l'époque.Cordier, Bibliotheca sinica, 2002, col. 2345-2346.‎
