Willyams, Cooper.
[A Voyage up the Mediterranean in His Majesty's Ship the Swiftsure. With a description of the Battle of the Nile on the first of August 1798]. [London, J. White, 1802].
Folio (ca. 350 x 493 mm). 17 aquatint plates in original hand colour and one double-page-sized aquatint map of the Mediterranean in original hand colour, all with captions in English. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards with giltstamped title and 2 floral ornaments to spine. Marbled endpapers. Collection of 18 of the 43 illustrations from the account of the voyage of HMS Swiftsure and the Battle of the Nile by the British clergyman and artist Willyams (1762-1816), who served as chaplain aboard the ship, a vessel of Admiral Nelson's squadron captained by Benjamin Hallowell Carew. The 17 plates in the present volume show views of the caves of Gibraltar and the Spanish Church in the city, the Bay of Fournelles, Ischia, a street in Caiffe at the foot of Mount Carmel featuring two dromedars, Aboukir castle, caverns near Syracuse and the Temple of Minerva, the Palermo Capuchin catacombs, and a view of Scylla on the coast of Calabria, as well as an attack on the French camp near Aboukir, an attack of Turkish gun boats on the castle of Aboukir, and a group of three Arabs aboard the Swiftsure. The aquatint map shows the Mediterranean Sea with the courses of the British and French fleets up to their encounter in the Bay of Aboukir in August 1798. Designed by Willyams, the illustrations were engraved by Joseph Constantine Stadler. - Binding somewhat rubbed near extremities. Right margins of several plates brownstained or a little worn (not touching image); map brownstained on left and right margins and near the gutter (hardly touching image); the plate with the entrance into the Ear of Dionysius with traces of 2 folds near lower right corner (not touching image). An appealing compilation of decorative images documenting the route of the British fleet leading up to the Battle of the Nile. For the original publication cf. Abbey 196. Blackmer 1813. Atabey (2nd ed.) 1339. Graesse VII, 456.

Joseph Wolf (1820-99) "was the first bird artist to understand and use the new freedom of style that lithography allowed [...] He introduced natural settings and a feeling of motion into his paintings. Early training in lithography and art [...] opened the door to Wolf's development into one of the first and finest true bird artists. He breathed life into the stiff 'bird on a perch' portrayals so characteristic of bird art of the day.

WORLD WAR II - MIDDLE EAST.
Photograph album kept by Douglas Warner C Flight 972 Squadron.
Palestine Egypt and Sudan: 1941-43. With camels and camera in the desert theatre A visual record of the Second World War in the Middle East with superb snapshots of Indian Army personnel members of the camel corps in Egypt and Sudan and the Sudanese household cavalry. Also included is a range of scenic views and images of everyday life. Warner's squadron served in the Middle East 1941-2 and was posted to North Africa in 1943. His most important photographs concern his service and those with whom he served. Alongside photographing military personnel he records their training and excursions and in one image a group of RAF men Warner perhaps among them pose on top of a car belonging to the Palestine Police Force. Eight photographs show the funeral of a British sergeant while one commercial image pictures Winston Churchill visiting soldiers at Tel El Kebir on 9 August 1942. Scenic and tourist views of Palestine show Warner's seaside billet in Haifa a coffee house and street in Acre and Mt Carmel as well as the Sea of Galilee Lake Tiberias and the atmospheric River Nile. The squadron's transfer to Africa is made via troop train. Aerial photographs of Khartoum are positioned alongside snaps of a sandstorm and by the White Nile Bridge he snaps an RAF hydroplane. In North Africa he mingles with soldiers of the Sudan Defence Force and members of the Khartoum police band. The album closes with a trip along the road to the Congo and time spent on duty at Juba. Landscape quarto commercial album. Original blue roan boards black cloth backstrip 17 black card leaves fixed with metal posts 160 mounted gelatin silver photographs snapshot- to postcard-sized and nearly all amateur manuscript captions on laid-down slips; 4 gelatin silver photographs loosely inserted including 3 snapshots and 163 x 215 mm formal portrait of compiler's class at RAF NCO Training School Hereford.

WORLD WAR I - MIDDLE EAST.
Proclamation by the G.O.C.-in-Chief in Mesopotamia to the People of 'Iraq
Baghdad: Superintendent Government Printing 1918. I come here before you to announce the glorious termination of hostilities First printing of this scarce broadside found at the Imperial War Museum only reproducing the text of General Marshall's proclamation read at the Sersi in Baghdad on 2 November 1918. As recorded in a pencil inscription on the verso this example was dropped by a British aeroplane onto an advanced ordnance depot and collected by a corporal who served with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps in the Middle East. Marshall's proclamation issued three days after the Ottoman surrender emphasizes that Britain will follow through on past promises made by General Sir Stanley Maude. "The end of the war has come and we are now in a position to show that the promises that have so often been made to you are to be kept at the first possible opportunity." Marshall pledges the repatriation of non-Turkish prisoners of war currently held in India freedom of trade and the lifting of blockades and the reopening of pilgrimage routes. He also announces the release of certain prisoners pay bonuses for civil servants and food and clothing distributions. "Gentlemen there is no more to be said. I as you only to believe that the vexations and annoyances which the presence of an Army in your midst have inevitably caused have been due not to our intentions but to military necessity. I ask you only to join with me in saluting the British Flag now to be unfurled before you." According to the printer's slug 3000 copies were printed. A second printing 5000 copies followed on 4 November. Provenance: Corporal Andrew John "Jack" Nolan Royal Army Ordnance Corps with his pencilled inscription on the verso: "Dropped by a British Aeroplane on Ordnance Advanced Depot Mesopotamia 2.11.18. Jack Nolan". Broadside 372 x 220 mm printed one side only royal coat of arms at head. Creased where sometime folded couple of splits along folds at margin: very good. hardcover

Folio (243 x 372 mm). (12), 389, (3) pp. With double-page-sized engraved frontispiece (G. Wingendorp sc., bound after p. 8), 12 engravings in the text, and 139 woodcuts in the text (wants the engraved portrait). 18th century full calf with giltstamped red label to gilt spine in seven compartments. All edges red. First edition of this description of the important natural-historical and ethnological collection assembled by the famous Danish physician and naturalist Worm (1588-1654), forming the nucleus of the museum he founded, one of the first natural history museums ever established. The double-page frontispiece (sometimes counted as an additional engraved title page) shows his natural history collection inboxes, on shelves and hanging from walls and ceiling. This plentiful text illustrations show exotic as well as Scandinavian animals, plants, fossils, ethnological trophies, archeological discoveries, etc. For many items in the mineralogical and chemical section, the Arabic names are given (such as Borax or "Baurach", Alkali, Tinkur, etc.). Among the exotic flora are many plants endemic to the Middle East and Arabia, including the "Nabuch Arabum", the "Nux indica" (with reference to Avicenna), the date palm, pistachio ("ex Persia, Arabia & Syria"), gum arabic etc. - Binding slightly scuffed in places, but well preserved. Slight browning and brownstaining to interior, mainly confined to blank margins. A few early marginalia and underlinings in ink (trimmed by binder's knife when rebound in the later 18th century). As virtually all copies available for comparison, ours lacks the portrait (to be bound after the preliminaries). Nissen, ZBI 4473.
