1890réf. 54541Constantinople: Sebah & Joaillier 1890. First edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Oblong small folio. 12 1/4 x 14 1/4". Red pebbled cloth boards with decorative gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the covers. Rebacked maroon leather spine. Gilt-stamped crescent moon and star motif the national emblem of Turkey on the back cover. Taken from the Galata Tower in what is now the Karaköy neighborhood of Istanbul this magnificent panorama displays the skyline and cityscape of Constantinople as it appeared sometime in the late 1880s or early 1890s. The panorama is comprised of 10 original albumen photographs mounted on heavy card stock and bound together in accordion style leporello measuring a total of more then 11 feet when completely unfolded. Shot in a southwardly direction the viewer can see Galata Karaköy in the foreground and from left to right across the Bosporus to the Uskudar district on the Asian side and then across the harbor at the mouth of the Golden Horn the Galata Bridge and across to the Pérama neighborhood and the Faith district where many famous landmarks of the city can be seen including the New Mosque Topkapi Palace Hagia Sophia and many others. Each panel measures about 13" wide and 12" tall. The photography is credited to "Sebah & Joaillier" one of the most prominent and prolific photography studios of Ottoman Empire during the second half of 19th century. Originally founded sometime around 1857 in Instanbul by Syrian-Armenian photographer Pascal Sebah 1823-1886 the studio was one of the earliest in the city and all of Ottoman Turkey. By the 1870s Sebah had become among the most prominent Ottoman photographers having also opened a branch of the studio in Cairo. Upon Sebah's death in 1888 the firm was taken over by his 16 year-old son Jean Pascal Sebah who then partnered with photographer Policarpe Joaillier 1848-1904. The firm was renamed "Sebah & Joaillier". Therefore although this panorama is undated it could not have been issued earlier than 1888; most likely sometime shortly thereafter circa 1890. Spine of of the portfolio has been professionally re-backed. Plates with minor to light foxing although the images are still quite clean and vibrant. Binding in very good images in very good- to very good condition overall. A slightly later version of the panorama from Sebah & Joaillier simply titled "Constantinople" is comprised of 12 slightly smaller panels instead of 10 and measures around the same size in total.

Pascal's Pensées is one of the great theological works in history a seminal example of Christian apologetics and a classic of French literature. Writing amid the explosion of Cartesian rationalism Pascal emphasizes an intuitionist-style approach to religion while at the same time outlining one of the best-known rational arguments for religious belief - the wager. Writing early in the book Pascal observes that regardless of one's actual beliefs the very notion of God requires one to take a loaded gamble on his existence: "ouy; mais il faut parier" p. 56. At his death in 1662 Pascal left behind bundles of fragmentary notes for an inchoate book of Christian apologetics. The proper order of these notes has been debated for centuries but this edition contains the arrangement devised by his executors and particularly his sister Gilberte who had previously published a biography of her illustrious brother. A "pré-originale" printing of this first edition with a title page dated 1669 is known in two surviving copies and was an advance issue likely for circulation to Pascal's associates and to gain approbations.

1880réf. 729951880. SBAH J. Pascal and BCHARD Emile et al. Photograph Album. Twenty-two Albumen Prints of Egypt with Views of the Pyramids. Egypt circa 1880. Oblong quarto period style full green morocco gilt raised bands gilt and blind-stamped boards watered silk endpapers; 22 vintage albumen prints each measuring 8 by 10 inches mounted on heavy card stock total of each measuring 10 by 14 inches. $3800.Original photograph album of the Middle East circa 1880 with 22 splendid exhibition-size albumen prints from glass negatives featuring the work of renowned photographers J. Pascal Sbah mile Bchard Langahi and others including Sbah's images of Alexandria's Column of Pompey Nile yachts and desert vistas Langahi's view of Nubian tribesmen and Bchard's iconic image of people climbing the massive stones of the Great Pyramid. Splendidly bound.Near the end of the 19th century many ""were captivated by photography's capacity to 'take them there' and bring them directly in contact with the long ago and far away"" Parr & Badger I:18. With that Egypt's majestic pyramids and exotic worlds beckoned. This rare album of 22 vintage albumen prints characteristically produced for England and France highlights the work of two highly respected photographers: J. Pascal Sbah and mile Bchard. The Turkish-born Sbah especially possessed a keen sense of his subjects' ""interaction with one anotherÉ His outside work involving people is very dramatic: for example the well-known images of camel caravans in the desert where a string of camels and their riders walk across the picture place."" Those very qualities are seen here in Sbah's ""Marshe aux Chameaux"" March of Camels ""Chameliers"" Camels and his images of crowded bazaars and Nile River yachts. In addition Sbah's striking views of Alexandria include one of its catacombs and another of the Column of Pompey one of the best known ancient monuments standing today. Like Sbah French photographer Bchard worked in Egypt in the 1870s and 80s where he was ""known primarily for his photographs of Egyptian antiquities and archaeological sitesÉ characterized by a dramatic sense of presentation"" Micklewright and Brassey Victorian Traveler 118-120. One of his most famous photographs is that featured at the close of this album: ""Ascension de la grand pyramide."" With the misleading signature of Sbah's brother Cosimi who ran Sbah's studio after his death Bchard's evocative view of people climbing the massive stones of the Great Pyramid is one of the era's most iconic. This impressive album also features several unattributed prints: a view of the Great Pyramid and Sphinx that closely resembles Francis Frith's distinctive photograph panoramas of Smyrna in Sbah's Turkish homeland and the portrait of an Ottoman soldier together with a print of Nubians astride camels by Langahi and the image of a veiled woman seated on a donkey unclear in-negative caption. With 22 vintage albumen prints from glass negatives each measuring 8 by 10-1/2 inches individually mounted on heavy card stock most with in-negative captions and signatures. See Rosenblum 163. Photographs fresh with only light scattered margin foxing not affecting prints. A rare album of vintage prints in about-fine condition. Beautifully bound. hardcover books
2021réf. 209910Paris France: Seuil 2021. Hardcover. VG. Orange boards with color illustration black and white text. 219 pp. 170 color and bw plates. "Everything has been said and written about Picasso's work but no one has yet dared to study all of his self-portraits perhaps because this painter has always left many doubts hanging over his work. Throughout his life from his first self-portrait in 1894 he was 13 years old at the time to the last in 1972 one year before his death he never stopped representing himself. In a sketch at the bottom of a letter or on a canvas Picasso by Picasso could not resemble Picasso. But Pascal Bonafoux guides us to allow us to get as close as possible to the mystery of this extraordinary artist and to offer us the fruit of a long very documented and brilliant research work initiated more than 40 years ago."--Verso cover.
