Belle lettre amicale au sujet de croquis lors dun déplacement en Turquie : .Jai fait une grosse étourderie en gardant le croquis de la boutique de Ludovic dans ma poche au lieu de la laisser chez le portier comme je vous le disais. Mais pour le réparer je lexpédie avec des épreuves chez Mme Arthus Bertrand qui le fera remettre chez vous quoique tout froissé et en partie effacé. Mais vous mavez paru tenir à ce souvenir de Stamboul et jaime mieux vous lenvoyer tel quel. La Division de Knibum que je me suis trouver commander sest réunie pour publier un album des positions singulières où elle sest trouvée pendant lhiver dernier. Lexécution en est très bonne et nous donne un bon souvenir des vicissitudes par lesquelles nous sommes passés. Permettez-moi de vous en offrir un exemplaire en souvenir de nos relations de Constantinople. Votre John a-t-il saisi quelques bonnes épreuves de lexcursion quil a faite avec moi. On ma dit quil avait de très intéressantes épreuves de de Sébastopol entrautres choses en complet de Malakof dont Robertson na fait que le tiers ou le quart. Jai essayé de le dessiner, mais le vent et la pluie men ont empêché et je nai pu faire que le panorama pris dans la grandaune du vaisseau à trois ponts des 12 apôtres. Si par hasard vous aviez quelques épreuves de trop de Sébastopol ou de Constantinople vous me feriez bien plaisir de les remettre à la Maison Arthus Bertrand (.). Je suis maintenant à Brest commandant lAudacieux magnifique frégate (.) Jai beaucoup à faire pour larmement et je voudrais bien que vous vinssiez de nos côtés pour vous promener un peu en rade : vous trouveriez de bien jolies choses dans ce pays-ci.

There is one Hawaiian view by Edmond Paris, another Laplace voyage participant, titled 'Honorourou, Capitale d'Ouahou, vu du Mouillage'.

Contemporary cloth rebacked in calf expertly, title in gilt on spine, spine with 4 raised bands., François-Edmond Paris (1806?1893) was a French admiral, notable for his contribution to naval engineering during the rise of the steam, for his books, and for his role in organising the Musee national de la Marine.Michel Charles Fichot (1817 - 1903) was a French painter, designer, illustrator and lithographer.Hubert Clerget (1818 - 1899) was a French lithographer and painter.Jules Gaildreau (1816-1898) was a draughtsman illustrator active in Paris.This is the first and only edition of this beautifully illustrated work. It is an account of the 1861 visit to Jerusalem undertaken by the third French Squadron of the Mediterranean. This book is famous for the quality of its 12 hand-coloured plates, including the Mosque of Omar and the El-Aqsa Mosque. François-Edmond Paris joined the French Navy in 1820 and took part in three great expeditions: the first under d?Urville abord the Astrolabe (1826-9), and two under Laplace on the Favorite (1829-32) and the Artemise (1837-40). In 1858 he was named rear-admiral and was given the command of the third French Squadron of the Mediterranean. Before publishing ?Souvenirs de Jerusalem,? Paris had already published two important folios on naval and marine architecture. The ?Notes historiques'' provide a rich and fascinating complement to the plates, providing not only historical references but also the author?s impressions as a visitor., Size : Large Folio. , Illustrated with 14 full page finely coloured plates., References : Blackmer 1255; Röhricht 508. A near fine copy, with one plate with marginal tears, otherwise texts and plates are clean and crisp.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Oblong folio, with 25 engraved plates, original crimson cloth. A scarce series of views of places visited by Laplace's Artémise voyage. The plates, all by Pâris, include a fine Hawaiian view as well as a view of the Tasmanian penal settlement. There is also a view of the Artémise being careened at Papeete in Tahiti. The other images show the Artémise at sea under full sail, the African coast, South Africa, Indian Ocean, Coromandel, Bengal, Ceylon, Malabar, Bombay, Middle East (Muscat), Philippines, China, and South America. Pâris started his naval career on the Astrolabe under Dumont d'Urville; he sailed as an officer on the Favorite on Laplace's first voyage, and sailed again with Laplace on the Artémise in her final voyage of 1837-1840. This was to be his last voyage too since he lost an arm as a result of a terrible accident. Nonetheless he continued a distinguished naval career. This is a remarkably rare book, not recorded by Cordier, Ferguson, Forbes, Borba de Moraes, Mendelssohn, the Hill Catalogue, Sabin, Judd, or Blackmer. The only bibliographical references we have found for the book are those by Rolf du Rietz (who records a copy in the Kroepelien collection) and O'Reilly-Reitman.
