1920Very Good French Eight panels of panoramic photograph folded into original printed light brown card wrappers titled "Souvenir d'Alep (Syrie). / Panoramique d'Alep" and "Editeur Wattar Freres, Alep (Syrie)" on the cover. Open size: 9x112 cm. In French. Contemporarily repaired verso of hinges by tape, overall a fine copy. Scarce wide-angle black and white photo-lithographic panoramic view of one of the oldest and most important cities of the Islamic Middle East, Aleppo of Syria, taken at twilight time, in the 1920s, when the country was under the French Occupation between 1920-22. This attractive photograph was edited and also probably taken by the Wattar Brothers, who were the famous and prolific editors and photographers of Syria and Southeast Anatolia including Kilis, Aintab (today: Gaziantep), etc. The Wattar Freres' descendants were present in Syria until the early 2000s (Serifoglu). This panorama is uncommon, showing many architectural buildings peculiar to Aleppo are no longer in place after the wars, especially the ongoing Syrian Civil War.

19228vo., First Edition, with plates and 4 maps on 3 folders at end, some relevant annotation in red pencil; handsomely bound in dark red full morocco, sides ruled in gilt, back with raised bands lettered and ruled in gilt, divisional insignia from upper board preserved and mounted on new leaf at front, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. This copy was formerly in the library of a member of 16th Devon (Yeomanry) Battn, attached 74th Division, and bears his signature on front free endpaper. 'The division was formed in the course of the Palestine Campaign from dismounted Yeomanry regiments. It undoubtedly contained some of the finest material that Britain ever put into the field. Having taken a leading part in the Third Battle of Gaza and the capture of Jerusalem, it was sent to France in the Spring of 1918 where it again distinguished itself. A clear and well-informed record of its career.' (Falls). VERY SCARCE. Enser, p62; Falls. p.132 (star for quality)

17872 Voll. In-8°, legatura coeva in piena pelle con piccoli fregi e filetti in oro al dorso e titoli in oro su tasselli, xvj-383(3) e vij-458(8). Due carte (dell'Egitto e della Siria - nel primo volume) e tre tavole (pianta e veduta delle rovine del Tempio del Sole a Baalbeck, e veduta delle rovine di Palmira - nel secondo volume) ripegate fuori testo. Bella importante relazione, su cui Sainte-Beuve ebbe a esprimere questo giudizio: 'Son honneur durable, si on le dégage de tout ce qui a mérité dépérir en lui, sera d'avoir été un excellent voyageur, d'avoir bien vu tout ce qu'il a vu, d'avoir souvent rendu avec une exactitude si parfaite que l'art d'écrire ne se distingua pas de chez lui de l'art d'observer'. Abrasioni alle legature, ma ottimi all'interno.
1797In-16 p. (mm. 155x99), 8 volumi in 4 tomi, mz. pelle coeva, decoraz. e tit. oro su due tasselli al dorso (con picc. restauri), pp. 103;100; 91;104; 88;88; 92;96; ben illustrato f.t. da: 1 carta dell’Egitto “chiamato in Arabo Barr Masr, cioè Paese di Masr” e una carta della Siria “nominata in Arabo Barr-el-Cham, cioè Paese alla sinistra”, entrambe più volte ripieg. ed inc. in rame., e da 3 tavole (pure più volte ripieg. e inc. in rame) che raffigurano le rovine del Tempio del Sole a Balbek, con la relativa pianta del Tempio, e una bellissima veduta delle rovine di Palmira nel deserto di Siria. "Prima edizione in italiano" di questo interessante resoconto sull’Egitto e la Siria di cui l’A. traccia lo stato fisico, politico, la storia e gli usi e i costumi dei locali. Erudito e filosofo francese, il conte di Volney (1757-1820), studiò dapprima diritto e medicina; in seguito si recò nel Medio Oriente, studiando l’arabo durante un soggiorno in Libano, e percorrendo l’Egitto e la Siria. Riferì le sue esperienze di viaggio in quest’opera, pubblicata a Parigi nel 1787. Così Diz. Larousse,XV, p. 650. Esemplare ben conservato.
