Purdy, John.
The New Sailing Directory for the Caribbee or West-India Islands, from Porto-Rico to Trinidad, inclusive; with the Coasts of Guyana, from the Maranon to the Orinoco, the Colombian or Leeward Isles, from Margarita to Curazao and the Coast of Venezuela from the Gulf of Paria to La Guayra.... Drawn up to accompany the general Chart of the Navigation described in the Work.... Harbours,... London, (J. Rider) for R. H. Laurie, chart-seller of the Admiralty, 1839.
8vo. (6), 184 pp. With 12 steel-engraved coastal profiles.Contemporary half black cloth, marbled sides. Extremely rare work on the sailing routes in the Caribbean, including the coasts of the Guyanas and Venezuela, by the great English hydrographer John Purdy (1773-1843). Purdy coined the term "pharology", the study of modern lighthouses and their design. He does not seem to have taken part in hydrographic expeditions himself, and his work consisted in writing works and constructing charts based upon the reports of others, but eventually he became a leading authority of his time on hydrography. He was instrumental in bringing Rennell's Current (to the south of the Isles of Scilly) before the notice of navigators. - Apart from the present work on the Caribbean, Purdy also produced a "Memoir, descriptive and explanatory, to accompany the New Chart of the Atlantic Ocean"; "The New Sailing directory for the Ethiopic or Southern Atlantic Ocean", 1837, and similar sailing directories, dealing with many other regions including the Mediterranean and the Americas. - The present work is designed - as stated on the back of the title-page - to illustrate "The general chart of the Caribbee Islands [... comprising] particular plans of the Virgin Islands, the Bocas of Trinidad. Chaguaramas Harbour in Trinidad, and St. George's Canada". A note on the same page suggests that this is a shortened version of a more comprehensive work to be published in the same year: "The whole of the Directory, with additions, will be included in the third volume of the 'Colombian navigator'". In the same year 1839 the second edition of that work appeared: "The Colombian Navigator, or Sailing Directory for the American Coasts and the West Indies". - With a library stamp on the buckram of the front board (anchor with "Marin. Bibl" and date "1839"), and also a manuscript paper piece pasted on the front board with the text "New Sailing Directions". Three owner's stamps on the title-page, two from the Marinens Bibliothek, Copenhagen (the library of the Danish Royal Navy). In good condition. Cf. Sabin 66694 (The Columbian Navigator, 1839). Not in Lowell J. Ragatz.

Qianlong, Emperor of China.
[Pingding Xiyu zhantu]. Suite of engravings representing the military campaigns at the conquest of Jinchuan. [Beijing, Wu Ying Ting Press], 1778-1785.
Suite of 13 (out of 16) large copper-engraved plates (each measuring 505 x 864 mm approx.), laid down on slightly larger sheets with painted brown borders, with a printed poem in Chinese within each plate (based on Qianlong Emperor’s own personal commentary on the battles). Later morocco-backed and cornered marbled boards, cloth ties. Chinese issue, following the Paris printing of 1755-59. The “Battle Copper Prints” are a series of prints from copper engravings dating from the second half of the 18th century. They were commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty, who ruled from 1735 to 1796. They depict his 1772-76 military campaigns, led by General A-Kuei, against the Jinchuan tribes in China’s inner provinces and along the country’s frontiers in the ethnically Tibetan mountain regions of Szechuan. The master illustrations for the engravings were large paintings executed by European missionary artists employed at that time at the court in Beijing. They included the Jesuits Giuseppe Castiglione (1688-1766), Jean-Denis Attiret (1702-68), and Ignaz Sichelbarth (1708-80), as well as the Augustinian missionary Giovanni Damasceno Sallusti (d. 1781). The engravings of the first set of 16 paintings were not produced in China but in Paris, at that time home to the best European artisans working in this technique. The Emperor even decreed that the work must emulate the style of the Augsburg engraver Georg Philipp Rugendas (1666-1742), whose work he knew. Small-scale copies of the paintings by Castiglione and his Beijing colleagues were sent to Paris to be transferred onto copperplates, printed, and then sent back to China, along with the plates and prints. Later sets of engravings were executed in Beijing by Chinese apprentices of the Jesuits and differ markedly in style and elaborateness from those of the Paris series. - In the history of Chinese art, copper-print engraving remained an episode. Qianlong's "Battle Copper Prints" were just one of the means the Manchu emperor employed to document his campaigns of military expansion and suppression of regional unrest. They served to glorify his rule and to exert ideological control over Chinese historiography. Seen in their political context, they represent a distinct and exceptional pictorial genre and are telling examples of the self-dramatization of imperial state power. Later campaigns of Qianlong which were similarly commemorated include Taiwan (1786-88), Annam or Vietnam (1788), Gurkhas invasion of Tiber (1790), and Yunnan, Guizhou and Hunan (1795-1796). - The striking plates comprising this set appear to be examples of the Chinese versions printed later, with Chinese text within the plates and technical and stylistic differences which differ greatly from the earlier Paris "westernized" versions executed under the supervision of the accomplished Charles-Nicolas Cochin (1715-90). Such a large complement from this suite of sixteen from the Chinese printing is extremely rare: while copies of the earlier Paris printing have appeared on the market (a complete set sold at Christie’s Paris, on 29 Oct. 2012), we have been unable to trace a comparable copy of the Chinese issue. The Getty Research Institute owns a suite depicting one of Qianlong’s last print commissions, produced nearly 30 years after the first series, the "Ping ding Kuoerke zhan tu" ("Pictures of the Campaigns against the Gurkhas"), which likewise stands out as a highly unusual example of Chinese images executed with European graphic techniques. The Getty’s suite is the only complete set in American public collections of this later work. The Taipei Palace Museum has a complete set of this series with the Chinese text apparently of the same issue. - In perfect condition. From the collection of Jean R. Perrette.
