12mo (96 x 138 mm). Engraved title-page, 1 letterpress leaf, 15 engraved plates (of which 3 are double-page-sized). In a pretty red leather wallet binding with fore-edge flap and tab. Marbled endpapers. Edges gilt. Pretty German issue of engravings showing views from Levantine journeys. The set was published by Degen between 1803 and 1809 in the "Wiener Taschenbuch". The plates were engraved after the monumental, never-completed "Voyage pittoresque de la Syrie, de la Phénicie, de la Palestine et de la Basse Égypte" by L. F. Cassas (Paris 1799, 180 plates in-folio: cf. Cohen/Ricci 204; Tobler 134). The travels during which the illustrations were made largely took place in the years 1778-87; Cassas was one of the engravers whom Choiseul-Gouffier had hired for his "Voyage Pittoresque". The plates show cities, landscapes, ancient and modern buildings in the Near East. - Binding rubbed, interior somewhat brownstained, but an attractive volume.

Sowie betitelt Via mala, en regardant le Splugen". 18,8:13,4 cm. Wunderbar farbfrisches, sehr detailliert durchgeführtes Aquarell. Cassas war ein französischer Landschafts- und Architekturmaler, Zeichner und Radierer und war zu seiner Zeit bereits ein geschätzter Illustrator von Reisebeschreibungen. Er studierte bei Joseph Marie Vien (1716-1809) und Jean Jacques Lagrenée d. J. (1739-1821) an der Akademie Rohan-Chabot. Mit erst zwanzig Jahren ging er nach Italien, das er von Norden bis Süden durchstreifte und dabei alles zeichnend, was ihm interessant erschien. Für die Reisebeschreibung des Abbé de Saint-Non lieferte er zahlreihe Ansichten von Sizilien und schuf auch Illustrationen von Istrien und Dalmatien, die aber erst 1802 erschienen. Anfang 1784 war er wieder in Paris, verließ es aber bereits im Juni wieder, um seinen Gönner, den Grafen Choiseul-Gouffier als Zeichner nach Konstantinopel zu begleiten, von wo aus er Syrien und Palästina bereiste. 1787-1792 lebte Cassas in Rom, kehrte danach nach Paris zurück, wo er später zum sous-inspecteur général und Zeichenlehrer an der Gobelin-Manufaktur ernannt wurde.
