BEATTIE (William).
Switzerland.
London Virtue (1836) 2 vol. in-4, demi-chagrin bleu à coins, dos à nerfs orné, tranches jaspées Édition originale de cette fameuse description de la Suisse par l’écossais William Beattie (1793-1875), qui parut d’abord en livraisons de 1834 à 1836. Ce panorama lyrique des paysages et des habitants, que Beattie découvrit lors d’un voyage en Europe de 1822 à 1826, est « l’un des plus importants albums publiés sur la montagne au début du XIXe siècle, superbement illustré » (Perret, 0322). Elle est ornée de gravures par William Henry Bartlett : deux titres, 106 planches en noir représentant villages, costumes, paysages montagneux, glaciers... et une carte sur double page de la Suisse. Quelques défauts d’usage, dont frottements et rousseurs. Tome II, p. 127, la planche est volante. (Reliure de l'époque)
