ref. 64976Paris, Firmin Didot Frères, 1837, EDITION ORIGINALE, in-8, demi chagrin bleu foncé, titre et décors dorés sur dos à 4 nerfs, plats papier marbré bleu et noir, reliure d'époque, 384 - 32 - (2) pp., texte sur deux colonnes, tranches marbrées multicolores, ill. par 2 carte en noir dépliables de Th. Duvotenay et 100 gravures en noir hors texte (92 + 8), Table des matières, Jean-Ferdinand Denis, né le 13 août 1798 à Paris et mort le 1er août 1890 à Paris, est un voyageur et historien français spécialiste de l'histoire du Brésil au XIXe siècle. Il s'embarque à 18 ans , le 24 août 1816, pour l'Amérique du Sud avec un ami de la famille Henri Plasson, commerçant et agent consulaire à Salvador dans la province de Bahia au Brésil. Il espère faire fortune. Il arrive à Rio de Janeiro en octobre 1816 où il séjourne jusqu'au 12 mars 1817 et rejoint Salvador le 12 mai 1817 comme secrétaire de Plasson. Cependant, sa situation ne le satisfaisant pas, il en profite pour voyager et rentre en France en octobre 1819. En 1838, il rejoint le ministère de l’Instruction publique comme bibliothécaire. Il est conservateur de la bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève de 1841 à 1865, et administrateur de 1865 à 1885. Il était ce que les biographes appellent un infatigable écrivain, l'auteur de plusieurs livres sur la littérature portugaise, d'autres sur l'histoire et les coutumes du Brésil, un perpétuel contributeur de journaux et revues comme "Le Magasin pittoresque", "Le Tour du monde" ou la revue brésilienne « Corographia Bresilica ». Il est considéré comme un promoteur de la jeune littérature brésilienne de son époque. César FAMIN (9 juillet 1799 – 23 décembre 1853) fut diplomate membre du corps consulaire, bibliophile et numismate. Il publia des études d'économie et d'histoire contemporaine, et surtout des livres de voyages sur l’Amérique du Sud. Ce volume fait partie d'une ambitieuse collection qui nous permet de découvrir l'histoire, la géographie, les mœurs et la description de tous les peuples du monde entier. Des textes écrit par des "spécialistes" de l'époque et avec surtout de très belles cartes et gravures hors texte. Belle présentation dans une agréable reliure d'époque en très bon état. Très bon état général malgré quelques très légères épidermures sur la reliure mais restaurée; rousseurs éparses habituelles sur un papier bien blanc.
