Plein veau brun, dos à nerfs orné (reliure de l'époque). Première Edition Française de l'important compte-rendu illustré du voyage de Cornelius Le Bruyn en Russie, en Perse, en Inde et à Java. Lors d'une première expédition en 1674, le voyageur et peintre néerlandais Cornelius Le Bruyn (1652-1726) était resté sept ans en Levant, voyageant principalement en Asie Mineure, en Syrie, en Terre Sainte et en Égypte. À son retour, il avait publié en anglais son "Voyage to the Levant" (1702) et, encouragé par son succès, il décida d'entreprendre une deuxième expédition plus étendue. En 1701, Le Bruyn entreprit donc le deuxième de ses voyages, prenant un navire vers le pays des Samoyèdes puis se dirigeant vers Moscou. Voyageant par l'Asie Mineure, il arriva en Perse où il séjourna pendant plusieurs mois entre 1704 et 1705. Après avoir quitté la Perse, il se rendit en Inde, à Ceylan et aux Indes orientales (c'est-à-dire Batavia). Il rentra en grande partie par le même itinéraire, séjournant à nouveau en Perse entre 1706 et 1707, et décrivant notamment les ruines de Persépolis et de Pasargades. Les nombreuses illustrations finement gravées comprennent de grandes planche spanoramiques dépliantes de Moscou et d'Ispahan, des vues d'Astrakhan, des antiquités de Persépolis et des nombreuses forteresses rencontrées lors de son voyage, ainsi que des portraits de populations autochtones, et des représentations de la flore, des poissons, des oiseaux, des animaux, etc. À noter particulièrement, les descriptions et les images par Le Bruyn des Samoyèdes et de leur pays, parmi les plus anciennes de la région. Le Bruyn décrit également une rencontre avec William Dampier à Batavia, et décrit l'itinéraire emprunté par Everard Ysbrants Ides, l'ambassadeur danois en Russie en Chine. L'ouvrage est profusément illustré de plusieurs centaines de planches gravées, avec notamment des planches dépliantes de très grande taille.

From the library of the Princes of Liechtenstein. In his first expedition of 1674, Dutch traveller and painter Cornelius Le Bruyn remained in the Levant for seven years, travelling principally in Asia Minor, Syria, the Holy Land and Egypt. On his return, he published his Voyages au Levant, and encouraged by its success, undertook a second, more far-reaching expedition. "In 1701, Le Bruyn started on the second of his journeys taking a ship to the country of the Samoyeds . and then proceeding to Moscow. Travelling by way of Asia Minor, he arrived in Persia where he remained for the years 1704-05. Leaving Persia he proceeded [by ship] to India [stopping at Cochin], Ceylon and the East Indies [i.e. Batavia]. He returned by much the same route, residing in Persia between 1706 and 1707 and describing the ruins of Persepolis and Pasargades" (Howgego). The numerous finely engraved illustrations include large folding panoramas of Moscow and Isfahan, views of Astrakhan, and the antiquities at Persepolis and many of the forts encountered on his journey, as well as portraits of native peoples, and depictions of the flora, fish, birds, animals etc. Of particular note are Le Bruyn's description and images of the Samoyeds and their country, among the earliest for the region. Le Bruyn also gives an account of an encounter with William Dampier in Batavia, and describes the route taken by Everard Ysbrants Ides, the Danish Russian ambassador to China.

Best known as a landscape artist, Le Bruyn travelled widely from a young age to Vienna, on to Rome then to Smyrna, Constantinople, Egypt, Jerusalem, Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey. Everywhere he went Le Bruyn depicted the scenes around him, he was especially interested in places of antiquity or historic interest, and his are the first images of the interior of a pyramids and Jerusalem to be widely available to a Westerners. "I want to offer accurate pictures of those cities, towns, and buildings that I have visited," he wrote, "and without recklessness I can claim to have done something that no one has done before" (reported by the New York Society Library).

Original folding copper engraved view of Rama. Plate dimensions 23 x 61 cm, overall sheet size 32 x 61.5 cm. A good, dark impression. Cornelis de Bruyn (1652-1726/7) was a Dutch artist and traveller, born in the Hague. He made two large tours and published illustrated books with his observations of people, buildings, plants and animals. During his first tour, he visited Rome, Egypt, Jeruselum and Cyprus, where he stayed among the Dutch merchants in Smyrna and Constantinople. From 1684 he worked in Venice with the painter Johann Carl Loth, returning in 1693 to The Hague, where he sold his souvenirs. In 1698 he published his book with drawings, which was a success and was translated in several languages. Among his drawings were the first pictures of the interior of the Great Pyramid and Jerusalem that became known in Europe. During his second tour in 1701 he visited the Samoyeds in northern Russia. In Moscow he became acquainted with emperor Peter the Great; de Bruijn painted his nieces, and the paintings were sent to possible candidates for marriage. In late April 1703, De Brujin left Moscow along with the party of an Armenian merchants from Isfahan. De Bruijin and the Armenians sailed down the Moscow River, the Oka and the Volga, eventually reaching Astrakhan. Leaving the borders of the Russian state, de Brujin arrived to Persia, where he made drawings of towns like Isfahan and Persepolis (17041705). He continued to Java and returned to Persia, Russia, and ultimately the Netherlands. His drawings of Persepolis, a city destroyed by Alexander the Great, caused a sensation. They were the best prints available to western scholars. De Bruyn's second book, Reizen over Moskovie was not such a success, as he was accused of plagarism. De Bruyn died in Utrecht. It is not known when and where he was buried.
