1886rif. 01002London: Bickers & Son, 1886. First English edition of this acclaimed Brazilian romance. Translated by Isabel Burton. Slim in-12 volume. 179 x 125 mm, (vii) 101 pp. Bound in half algae green morocco, two raised bands, five gilded bands, name printed vertically in gilt print letters, date on the bottom. Marbled papers with a touch of bright copper on covers, multiple white pages on both ends. White and green headbands. Title page, Translator's preface, Historical argument by the author. Each chapter is merely "Chapter XX", no table of contents. "I cannot allow my readers to remain ignorant of the name of Senhor J. de Alencar, the author of this and several other works; for he deserves to be as well known in England as in Brazil, and it must be the result of the usual modesty of a really clever man that he is not so. He is their first prose and romance writer." (Translator's preface) "In 1603, Pero Coelho, a gentleman of Parahyba, then already belonging to the Portuguese, arrived at the mouth of the river Jaguaribe in Ceará, with a command of 80 colonists and 800 Indians. He there founded the first settlement in Ceará, and called it Nova Lisboa. He was abandoned by his comrades when a certain João Soromenho was sent to him with reinforcements... He did not respect even the Indians of the Jaguaribe river, who were friendly to the Portuguese. This proved the downfall of the growing settlement: the natives resented such tyranny. Pero Coelho, with his wife and young children, was compelled to fly by land to his own province." (Alencar's Historical argument)

A good candidate for rebinding to your specification. Marcou 784 Wheat 947 and 948 topographical maps only Merrill p. 360. This report contains the official account and scientific results of the first of the three great explorations of the Colorado River undertaken by the Federal government during the mid-19th century. Well written and illustrated with many fine woodcuts lithographs and maps some in color the Ives report ranks as one of the most important and best Army surveys conducted in the American west. Wheat devotes over 6 pages to this expedition plus 2 double page maps. Very hard to find with all maps and plates present. In 1857 the Ives expedition up the Colorado River was conceived to develop potential supply routes along the river in event of war with Mormon settlements in Utah. Ives used the steamboat Explorer shown in the frontispiece and many subsequent illustrations - disassembled in Philadelphia and shipped via the Isthmus of Panama to the mouth of the Colorado River where it was reassembled - to transport his party including naturalist/geologist John S. Newberry artist H. B. Mollhausen of US Pacific Railroad USPRR exploration renown and topographer F. W. Egloffstein. According to Goetzmann "the comprehensive observations of Ives and the scientists accompanying his expedition were a distinct contribution to the knowledge of a little-known and superficially explored region". The report consists of 5 parts plus 4 appendices: General Report by J. C. Ives; Hydrographic Report by J. C. Ives; Geological Report by J. S. Newberry; Botany by Gray Torrey Thurber and Engelmann; and Zoology by S. F. Baird. The appendices present astronomical observations geographic data on camp locations; meteorological observations; and remarks about the construction techniques used for the maps. The b&w woodcuts plates and folding views depict striking topographic views of river valley and mountain scenes; panoramic views of canyons and other scenes; geological features; and fossils. Mollhausen's Indian portraits show various representatives of the Cocopas Yumas Chemehuevis Mojaves Hualpais Moquis and Navajo tribes in colorful native attire. Another tinted plate by Egloffstein shows the interior of a Moquis house. Topographic map No. 1 follows the water route along the river from its mouth to "head of navigation" and map No. 2 follows the land route to Ft. Defiance including the "Canyon of the Colorado". Newberry prepared his geological maps by modifying these maps with additional titles and coloring for geological formations up to 7 colors used. All maps are dated 1858. The Ives exploration accomplished many "firsts" including the first recorded descent to the floor of the Grand Canyon which he called Big Canyon by non-Indians. His report contains the first published views of the Grand Canyon criticized by some as dark and gloomy which nevertheless proved very popular with the American public. Newberry's report contains the first published geologic section of the Canyon which given the conditions under which he worked and state of knowledge at the time was a remarkable accomplishment. His geological maps are the first to specifically focus on the Plateau country at the canyon. He correctly attributed the Canyon's existence to fluvial erosion but erred in unraveling its history as later worked out by Powell Dutton and Holmes. Egloffstein's maps of the Colorado River and Colorado Plateau utilized a new printing technique that depicted physical features in shaded relief style and were the first maps thus produced.

1910rif. 0257Paris, Perrin, 1910. Seule et unique édition. In-12, 182 x 123 mm, (ix) 337 pp. Relié demi-cuir grainé tabac. Dos à faux-nerfs, pièce de titre avec nom d'auteur et titre en doré, sillons aux nerfs. Plats de papier marbré à motifs tourbillonnants, pages de garde marbrées. Photo du Pain de sucre de Rio de Janeiro en frontispice, Avant-propos de l'auteur. Nombreuses photographies noir et blanc en hors-texte à travers l'ouvrage. Table des matières à la fin. "On compterait sur les doigts les livres français consacrés au Brésil. En ces dernières années pourtant, il semble qu'un rapprochement se soit opéré entre la France et cette sœur latine trop longtemps négligée. Des hommes en vue, dans la politique, les affaires, les lettres, ont fait au Brésil des voyages qui n'étaient point de simples tournées d'amateurs. Il en est résulté des conférences retentissantes, d'innombrables articles de journaux, la création d'une association franco-brésilienne, avec un organe périodique, Le Brésil ; enfin, comme il fallait s'y attendre, le lancement sur le marché français de quatre ou cinq gros emprunts destinés à des entreprises brésiliennes. Tout cela a mis chez nous le Brésil à l'ordre du jour ; il est presque devenu une actualité."
