Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. [3], 132 pp., 80 plates numbered 1-78 (+2 unnumbered plates), of which 70 lithographed, 8 aquatinted, and 2 engraved, half-title, title vignette, contemporary full marbled calf binding, title gilt on red label on raised and decorated spine, the plates represent costumes and views of Constantinople, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Cairo, etc. occasional foxing, otherwise copy in very good condition. First edition, Brunet states that 325 copies were printed. Two editions, the one marked "Seconde", were also issued in 1819 with the text in 8vo and the folio plates to be purchased separately. Forbin's was one of the first important French books to use lithography on a grand scale, and the standard of production is equal to that of Napoleon's "Description de l'Égypte" or "Denon's Voyage". The plates are after drawings by Forbin, Isabey, Prevost, Fragonard and Carle Vernet. The aquatint plates are all after drawings by Forbin himself. Most of the plates illustrate scenes in Egypt and Syria, including one of Drovetti, French consul in Egypt, measuring a colossal head. The two unnumbered plates illustrate the catacombs of Milos and a diagram of the Holy Sepulchre. In 1816 Forbin replaced Dominique Denon as Director of Museums of France, and in August 1817 he undertook a semi-official year-long voyage to the Levant, having been authorised to purchase antiquities for the Louvre. He travelled to Milos, where his son-in-law Marcellus had negotiated the purchase of the recently discovered Venus de Milo and from there he continued to Athens, Contantinople, Asia Minor, Syria and Palestine. From Jaffa he travelled overland to Alexandria and visited Egypt. His party included the artist Prevost and the engineer Linant de Bellfonds.

First edition; elephant folio; 80 plates, including 70 lithographs, 8 aquatints, & 2 engravings; contemporary calf over blue paper boards, red morocco label to upper cover, vellum tips; spine rubbed, corners worn; internally a fine clean uncut example. The scarce first edition of Forbin's Voyage with text and plates together of which Brunet says only 325 copies were printed. Forbin's was one of the first important French books to use lithography on a grand scale, and the standard of production is equal to that of Napoleon's Description de l'Ãgypte. The plates are after drawings by Forbin, Isabey, Prevost, Fragonard and Carle Vernet. The aquatinted plates are all after drawings by Forbin himself. Most of the plates illustrate views in Egypt and Syria, including the famous view of Drovetti, French consul in Egypt, measuring a giant head. In 1816 Forbin replaced Denon as Director of Museums, and in 1817 he undertook a year-long voyage to the Levant, having been authorised to purchase antiquities for the Louvre. He travelled to Milos where his son-in-law had negotiated the purchase of the recently discovered Venus de Milo, and from there to Athens, Constantinople, Asia Minor, Syria, and Palestine. From Jaffa he travelled overland to Egypt and visited Alexandria. Atabey 447; Blackmer 614; Colas 1089; Hilmy I, 163; Koç I, 209; Weber 70;

Contemporary quarter calf, paste-paper overs boards, red morocco gilt-stamped spine label, spine with gilt bands. ATLAS VOLUME: Large oblong folio. [54 cm]: [2] pages, 78 leaves of plates (70 lithographs after Carle Vernet, Fragonard, Isabey, Pierre Prevost, and Forbin, 8 aquatints by Debucourt after Forbin, 2 engravings by Englemann and Debucourt after Forbin), plans (etchings). Original printed cover-title mounted as a title, "Voyage dans Le Levant en 1817 et 1818 û on rouge colored paper. Handsomely bound in modern half dark calf, gilt-stamped spine, original spine preserved, early green cloth over boards, decorative endpapers. Bookplate of the Prince of Lichtenstein library [Ex-libris Liechtenstensteininis] of Vienna. Handsome set. FIRST EDITION OF BOTH PARTS, which were issued separately and thereby seldom found together. Brunet notes the Atlas was printed in 325 copies -- this is repeated by Khatib, who explains the early publishing history thusly: "Two editions, one marked "Seconde", were issued in 1819 with the text in 8vo and the folio plates to be purchased separately." Dedicated to Louis XVIII (1755-1824). The year-long voyage went to Greece, Syria, and Egypt. Forbin had obtained permission to acquire specimens from Egypt for French museums. Forbin was accompanied by the artist Pierre Prevost (1764-1823) and a very young engineer de Louis Maurice Adolphe Linant de Bellefonds (1799-1883). The voyage was sponsored by Louis XVIII, the last king of France, who had himself lost many of royal powers subsequent to Napoleon's escape from Elba in 1815 and the 100 day campaign to retake the throne. Napoleon quickly gained support from military veterans still loyal to him. His campaign famously ended at Waterloo on June 18, 1815. This work is famous for the large number of large and remarkable plates. They were executed with the highest production methods and involved a number of qualified artists. Most "of the plates are scenes of Egypt and Palestine, after drawings by Forbin, Isabey, Prevost, Fragonard and Carle Vernet. The aquatint plates are all after drawings by Forbin himself." The travelers came first to Melos, Athens, Constantinople, Smyrna, Ephesus, Acre, Jafa, Jerusalem (noting the Temple of Solomon), The Dead Sea, Jordan, Cairo, Luxor, and Thebes. "In 1816 Forbin became Director of Museums in Paris and in August 1817 he made a semi-official year-long voyage to the Levant to purchase antiquities for the Louvre. He travelled to Athens, Constantinople, Asia Minor, Syria and Palestine. From Jaffa he went overland to Alexandria and visited Egypt. This book was the result; it was one of the first important French books to use lithography on a grand scale, and the standard of production is equal to that of Napoleon's Description de l'Egypte or Dominique Vivant Denon's Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte, 2 vols." -- Khatib, p. 152-3.

Very good.Colas, 1089; Brunet II, 1337; not in OCLC.Written by Nicolas Nicolaides: Baron Louis Nicolas Philippe Auguste de Forbin, later count de Forbin (la Roque-d'Anthéron, 1777 - ??????, 1841) was a French painter, author and antiquarian. He was also a pupil of painter Jacques-Louis David. During the Bourbon restauration, Forbin served as general director of the Louvre Museum and other museums of France.Inspired by the travels of François-René de Chateaubriand, Forbin sailed out from Toulon on 22 August 1817 to tour the eastern Mediterranean. Like Chateaubriand, Forbin travelled on his own initiative, without an order from the French government; however, since the aim of his journey was to discover Greek and Roman antiquities and to draw landscapes of the places he would visit, he was able to travel on the ships of the French fleet of the Levant (Flotte du Levant).In his venture Forbin was accompanied by painters Pierre Prevost and Léon Matthieu Cochereau (also a pupil of David and a nephew of Prévost), as well as architect Jean-Nicolas Huyot. Abbé de Forbin-Janson, later bishop of Nancy, was also a member of the company for the first part of the journey, while Huyot had to retire when he fractured his leg on Milos island. In addition, twenty-four year old Cochereau died of dysentery off the coast of Cythera and was replaced by Linant de Bellefonds who at the time was a mate on "Cleopatra", the mission's ship. De Bellefonds resigned from his position on the ship and participated in the expedition as a painter and chartographer. When the expedition ended in December of 1817, de Bellefonds decided to stay on in Egypt, and explored its territory as member of several missions. From 1831 to 1869 he served the kingdom of Egypt as chief engineer of several public works, including the Suez Canal. The expedition sailed to Acre, Galilee, and thenceforth travelled by land. While in Palestine, the travellers visited the Dead Sea and Jordan river, reached Cairo and sailed the Nile down to Upper Egypt. The main places they visited includde Milos island, Athens, Constantinople, Ephesus, Acre, Jerusalem, Gaza, Damietta, Cairo, Luxor, Thebes, Rosetta and Alexandria. When the expedition returned to France in April 1818 Forbin had spent approximately 28.000 francs on the purchase and transportation of antiquities, some of which ended up in the Louvre collections (at the time Royal Museum of France). Prevost drew panoramic views of Jerusalem and Athens, but succumbed to pneumonia in 1823, without completing his panorama of Constantinople.The descriptions of Forbin show him to be a mature observer in possession of deep humanistic culture. His style sometimes resembles a clumsy imitation of Chateaubriand's "Journey to the Holy Land" (1806). However, as Forbin was not a professional author but a painter, his descriptions are way more exact than those of Chateaubriand.Forbin also travelled to Sicily in 1820, and published his travel account, as he had done with his expedition of 1817.

Forbin : «Il ne serait jamais embarrassant de dire pourquoi on entreprend un voyage comme celui que je viens de faire en Sicile. Outre le désir de satisfaire une juste curiosité, la raison la plus naturelle peut-être se trouverait dans l état actuel de la société. Cet état est malheureusement hostile ; la vie devient chaque jour plus épineuse ; c est un travail malaisé que de vivre au milieu des hommes : il est donc permis de considérer un voyage comme une trêve particulière conclue avec eux. Le départ endort les aversions ; le retour les trouve souvent distraites de leur ancienne poursuite, et, par un juste emploi de leur temps, dirigeant ailleurs de nouvelles attaques.» Comte de Forbin, Souvenirs de la Sicile.

Paris, Maradan, 1817. In-8 (143 X 212 mm) demi-basane blonde, dos lisse orné cloisonné et fleuronné, pièce de titre maroquin rouge (reliure de l'époque) ; VI pages de faux-titre, titre et avant-propos, frontispice gravé, 206 pages. TROISIÈME ÉDITION de ce TEXTE ROMANTIQUE RARE, paru pour la première fois en 1810. Complet du beau frontispice gravé par B. Roger «qui annonce bien le romantisme » (Escoffier). Le comte Auguste de FORBIN (1777-1841), peintre, écrivain archéologue et directeur général du Musée du Louvre, s'illustra dans les lettres par cette mélancolique histoire d'amour et de mort qui, par son intrigue et par ses évocations magiques de Naples et de Rome, peut être considérée comme la source incontestable à laquelle Lamartine a puisé pour "Graziella". Le couteau du relieur a malheureusement coupé les trois dernières lettres d'un ENVOI AUTOGRAPHE DE L'AUTEUR en tête du faux-titre: «De la part de l'Aut[eur] ». (Escoffier, 194, pour l'édition originale de 1810 - Pas dans Talvart). BEL EXEMPLAIRE, très pur et d'une grande fraicheur. FINE COPY. PICTURES AND MORE DETAILS ON REQUEST.
