‎Graphic Illustrations of the Most Prominent Features of the French Capital; With Characteristic Figures in the Foregrounds Comprised in Twelve Stroke Engravings, From Accurate Designs Taken in Paris During the Imperial Reign of Buonaparte‎

‎London Howlett and Brimmer 1816 Première édition. Un ouvrage majestueux, montrant le Paris rénové de Napoléon dans toute sa splendeur. Complet. Illustré de 12 gravures à double page. Les vues panoramiques comprennent : L'école militaire et l'église des Invalides ; Vue de Paris depuis le boulevard sud ; Vue de Paris depuis Montmartre ; Vue sud de l'ancien et du nouveau Louvre ; La Monnaie et la façade du Louvre ; Vue de la place de la Concorde ; Le jardin de la façade ouest des Tuileries ; Palais des Tuileries face à la place du Carrousel ; Jardin des Tuileries ; Le Luxembourg ou Palais du Senat avec les jardins ; Les champs élyséens, jardins lointains des Tuileries ; Entrée des Champs Élysées et de la place de la Concorde. Il semble qu'il y ait eu deux versions imprimées. Il y eut également une autre version, imprimée simultanément, avec un texte en typographie sur une feuille pour accompagner les gravures plus petites (elles ont environ la moitié de la taille de nos gravures). Cette dernière a été publiée par Harper & Co. Tableaux originaux recouverts de papier. Le texte est en noir dans une bordure décorée et le dos est en cuir rouge. Les planches sont quelque peu frottées et présentent des taches (en particulier sur la première planche). L'ouvrage est néanmoins solide. Page de titre, 12 planches à double feuille avec un verso vierge. Celles-ci sont encore très attrayantes, mais présentent quelques taches d'eau sur les bords, en particulier sur les dernières pages. Ces taches sont un peu estompées et n'affectent pas vraiment les planches. Conforme à OCLC : 181773865 dont FirstSearch ne signale qu'un seul exemplaire de bibliothèque à McMaster en Californie. Les peintures originales ont été attribuées à Pierre-Antoine Demachy (1723-1807) qui a laissé un grand nombre de vues de Paris et qui a montré un intérêt particulier pour les améliorations architecturales majeures de Napoléon. 430 x 380 mm.‎

‎First edition. A majestic work, showing the renewed Paris of Napoleon in all its glory. Complete. Illustrated with 12 double-page engravings. Panoramic views include: the Military School and the Church of the Invalides; View of Paris from the South Boulevard; View of Paris from Montmartre; South View of the Old and New Louvre; The Mint and The Façade of the Louvre; View of La Place de la Concorde; The Garden of the West Front of the Tuileries; Palace of the Tuileries Facing La Place du Carrousel; Garden of the Tuileries; The Luxembourg or Palais du Senat with the Gardens; The Elysian Fields, Distant Gardens of the Tuileries; Entrance to Les Champs Élysées and La Place de la Concorde. There appear to have been two versions printed. This version has the engravings only. There was also another version, printed simultaneously, with letterpress text to one leaf to accompany the smaller engravings (they are about half the size of our engravings). This latter published by Harper & Co. Original paper covered boards. These have black text within a decorated border, and red leather spine. The boards are somewhat rubbed, and have staining to them (particularly the front board). Still sturdy though. Title page, 12 double leaf plates with blank reverse. These are still very attractive, but have some water staining to the edges - particularly of the later pages. This is faded a little, and does not really affect the plates. Conforms to OCLC: 181773865 which FirstSearch records only one library copy at McMaster in California. The original paintings have been attributed to Pierre-Antoine Demachy (1723-1807) left a large number of views of Paris, and who showed a particular interest in Napoleon's major architectural improvements. 430 by 380mm (17 by 15 inches). .‎
