‎Vue représentant la prise de Valenciennes par les Français pendant la "Guerre de Hollande". Gravée par R. Bonnart d'après F. Van der Meulen. "Peintre baroque flamand", Adam Frans van der Meulen (1632-1690) se spécialisa dans les paysages et les scènes de bataille. Baptisé le 11 janvier 1632 à Bruxelles, dans les Pays-Bas espagnols, Adam Frans van der Meulen se forme dès 1648 auprès du peintre de batailles Pieter Snayers, issu de l'école flamande. Vers 1664, le ministre des Finances Colbert le fait venir à Paris, à la demande de Charles Le Brun, pour l'employer en tant que paysagiste aux Gobelins, avant de lui confier la charge de « peintre des conquêtes du Roi » Louis XIV. Les toiles d'une exactitude minutieuse que réalise van der Meulen lors des campagnes de Flandre, en Franche-Comté et en Hollande durant la guerre de Dévolution de 1667-1668, plaisent tant au Roi-Soleil que ce dernier lui ordonne à partir de cette date de l'accompagner dans toutes ses opérations militaires. Il exécute de nombreux croquis, vues de villes et paysages. [Showing the town of Valenciennes. Etching by R. Bonnart after Adam Frans van der Meulen (1632-1690) who was a Flemish Baroque painter specialising in battle scenes. He was active first in Brussels, where he was a pupil of Pieter Snayers, and from the 1660s onwards in Paris.His paintings during the campaigns of Flanders in 1667 so delighted Louis that from that date van der Meulen was ordered to accompany him in all his expeditions. In 1673 he was received into the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, attained the grade of councillor in 1681, and died full of honors in Paris in 1690. ]- Hollstein XIV ...................

‎LITHOGRAPHIE ORIGINALE : COURSES DE CHEVAUX A LONG-WOOD (ILE DE Ste HÉLÈNE)‎

‎Paris F. Didot 1833 une Lithographie en noir , format : 40 X 27 cm, "COURSES DE CHEVAUX A LONG-WOOD (ILE DE Ste HÉLÈNE)", PAR DE SAINSON PINX. - HOSTEIN ET ADAM LITH., 1833‎

‎Cette lithographie , intitulée Courses de chevaux à Long-Wood (Île Sainte-Hélène), représente une course hippique sur l'île de Sainte-Hélène. Elle a été réalisée par de Sainson, l'artiste officiel de l'expédition Astrolabe de Jules Dumont d'Urville. L'image comprend un campement au premier plan et, au loin, la maison où Napoléon fut exilé jusqu'à sa mort en 1821. Sainte-Hélène, île isolée de l'Atlantique Sud, est historiquement connue comme le dernier lieu d'exil de Napoléon Bonaparte. Après sa défaite à Waterloo en 1815, Napoléon fut confiné sur l'île sous la garde des Britanniques afin d'empêcher toute possibilité d'évasion ou de résurgence. Il résida d'abord au Briars Pavilion, puis à Longwood House, où il vécut jusqu'à sa mort en 1821. L'utilisation stratégique de l'île par le gouvernement britannique, notamment sa fortification par une garnison et l'occupation de l'île de l'Ascension toute proche, souligne son importance géopolitique au début du XIXe siècle. La lithographie illustre une course hippique festive à Longwood, juxtaposée aux collines verdoyantes et aux monuments architecturaux de la région, dont Longwood House au loin. La scène est animée par des personnages aux tenues variées, parmi lesquels des officiers, des civils et des spectateurs locaux, illustrant la mixité de la communauté insulaire et l'influence de la présence coloniale britannique. Le premier plan met en valeur des tentes, des groupes de chevaux et des spectateurs engagés dans des conversations animées, tandis que l'arrière-plan représente l'hippodrome et son public enthousiaste ....

‎Chez les passants (Fantaisies, Pamphlet et souvenirs) [relié avec] La Révolte drame en un acte en prose.‎

‎Paris, Comptoir d'Edition (et) Alphonse Lemerre. 1890, 1870. 12°. (4)-320 (et) (2)-58-(4) pages, frontispice de Félicien Rops gravé sur vergé. Demi-maroquin brun à coins, dos à nerfs orné de filets dorés, tête dorée, couvertures conservées pour les deux ouvrages.‎

‎Edition originale posthume de Chez les passants. Villiers de L’Isle Adam, condamné par son cancer à l'estomac, fut transporté en juillet 1889 du logement insalubre où il vivait avec Marie Dantine, au 19 rue Oudinot, pour être hospitalisé chez les Frères Saint-Jean de Dieu, où il mourut un mois plus tard, le 18 août. Peu après paraissait Chez les passants. Mallarmé et Huysmans, exécuteurs testamentaires de Villiers, se chargèrent d'établir cette édition avec Léon Dierx, au profit de la veuve de l'écrivain et de leur fils Victor. En effet, alors que Villiers était à l’article de la mort, Mallarmé hâta avec Huysmans le mariage du poète avec Marie Dantine, le 12 août, pour assurer l’avenir de leur fils Victor. La Révolte est ici en édition originale. Villiers de l'Isle Adam y dénonce l'esprit bourgeois de son époque. Créant un scandale, elle disparait de l'affiche après cinq représentations seulement. Dans l'excellente préface, l'auteur règle ses comptes avec la critique. - Beaux exemplaire‎

‎Les vues doptiques sont un type particulier destampes populaires publiées en Europe au XVIIIe siècle. Ces estampes étaient une forme de divertissement destinée à être vue à travers des appareils appelés « machines optiques », « optiques », « zograscopes ». Ces estampes étaient exposées par des forains ambulants dans les rues de toute lEurope et étaient également collectionnées par les professionnels et les classes supérieures qui possédaient des machines optiques chez eux. Il y avait une grande curiosité pour lapparence des villes européennes non visitées et des lieux exotiques aux confins du globe, et ces estampes étaient lun des seuls moyens pour le grand public davoir un aperçu du monde. Les machines optiques utilisées pour ces gravures étaient équipées d'une lentille qui améliorait pour les spectateurs le grossissement et la perception de la profondeur tridimensionnelle des scènes représentées. Un miroir était souvent utilisé pour que les gravures en perspective puissent être vues à plat, et dans ces cas, les images étaient vues à l'envers. Il n'est donc pas rare que les scènes représentées soient dessinées à l'envers, et il y a souvent aussi un titre imprimé à l'envers en haut, permettant aux spectateurs de le lire rapidement. Il y avait généralement un texte supplémentaire au bas des gravures, souvent en plusieurs langues, qui pouvait être lu par l'opérateur de l'optique au bénéfice de son public ..... rare gravure ........... en bon état (good condition). en bon état ‎

‎First German edition, also being the very first overall translation, of Adam Smith's ground-breaking main work, the ""Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations"". This seminal first translation of the work was undertaken by J.F. Schiller, who finished the first part of the translation in time for it to appear as soon as 1776, the same year as the original English edition. The second part appeared in 1778, the same year as the exceedingly scarce first French translation. This first German translation has been of the utmost importance to the spreading of Smith's ideas throughout Europe, and, after the true first, this must count as the most important edition of the work.""The influence of the Wealth of Nations [...] in Germany [...] was so great that 'the whole of political economy might be divided into two parts - before and since Adam Smith"" the first part being a prelude, and the second a sequel."" (Backhouse, Roger E., The Methodology of Economics: Nineteenth-Century British Contributions, Routledge, 1997.)""The first review of the translation, which appeared in the Göttingische gelehrte Anzeigen for March 10, 1777, by J. G. H. Feder, professor of Philosophy at the University of Göttingen, was very favorable. In the words of the reviewer: ""It is a classic"" very estimable both for its thorough, not too limited, often far-sighted political philosophy, and for the numerous, frequently discursive historical notes,"" but the exposition suffers from too much repetition."" (Lai, Cheng-chung. Adam Smith Across Nations: Translations and Receptions of The Wealth of Nations, Clarendon Press, UK, 2000).Until 1797, [...], the work of Adam Smith received scant attention in Germany. While Frederick II was living, Cameralism held undisputed sway in Prussia, and the economic change which began with the outbreak of the French Revolution had still not gained sufficient momentum to awake the economic theorists from their dogmatic slumber."" (Lai, Cheng-chung. Adam Smith Across Nations: Translations and Receptions of The Wealth of Nations, Clarendon Press, UK, 2000).Various German economist read the german translations and was inspired by it.""Christian Garve, [...], must be considered as among the important contributors to the spread of Smith's views. Himself a popularizer of philosophical doctrines, he was early attracted by the Scotch writers and became one of their foremost exponents in Germany."" In 1791 Garve began a second translation of the Smith's work and in the introduction to the the translation he wrote: ""It (Smith's work) attracted me as only few books have in the course of my studies through the number of new views which it gave me not only concerning the actual abject of his investigations, but concerning all related material from the philosophy of civil and social life"". Georg Sartorius, August Ferdinand Lueder and, perhaps the most important economist of the period, Christian Jacob Kraus, were all important figures in the spread of Smith's thought. ""The most significant of Kraus' works and that also which shows his conception of economic science most clearly is the five-volume work entitled State Economy. The first four volumes of this work are little more than a free paraphrase of the Wealth of Nations"". Kraus was: ""to a large extent responsible for the economic changes which took place in Prussia after 1807, in so far as they can be ascribed to Smithan influence."" (Lai, Cheng-chung. Adam Smith Across Nations: Translations and Receptions of The Wealth of Nations, Clarendon Press, UK, 2000).Kraus wrote of the present volume: ""[T]he world has seen no more important book than that of Adam Smith....

(Fleischacker, Samuel , A Third Concept of Liberty, Princeton University Press, 1999.)_____________Hailed as the ""first and greatest classic of modern thought"" (PMM 221), Adam Smith's tremendously influential main work has had a profound impact on thought and politics, and is considered the main foundation of the era of liberal free trade that dominated the nineteenth century. Adam Smith (1723-1790) is considered the founder of Political Economy in Britain, mainly due to his groundbreaking work, the ""Wealth of Nations"" from 1776. The work took him 12 years to write and was probably in contemplation 12 years before that. It was originally published in two volumes in 4to, and was published later the same year in Dublin in three volumes in 8vo. The book sold well, and the first edition, the number of which is unknown, sold out within six months, which came as a surprise to the publisher, and probably also to Smith himself, partly because the work ""requires much thought and reflection (qualities that do not abound among modern readers) to peruse to any purpose."" (Letter from David Hume, In: Rae, Life of Adam Smith, 1895, p. 286), partly because it was hardly reviewed or noticed by magazines or annuals.

‎First German edition, also being the very first overall translation, of Adam Smith's ground-breaking main work, the ""Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations"". This seminal first translation of the work was undertaken by J.F. Schiller, who finished the first part of the translation in time for it to appear as soon as 1776, the same year as the original English edition. The second part appeared in 1778, the same year as the exceedingly scarce first French translation. This first German translation has been of the utmost importance to the spreading of Smith's ideas throughout Europe, and, after the true first, this must count as the most important edition of the work.""The influence of the Wealth of Nations [...] in Germany [...] was so great that 'the whole of political economy might be divided into two parts - before and since Adam Smith"" the first part being a prelude, and the second a sequel."" (Backhouse, Roger E., The Methodology of Economics: Nineteenth-Century British Contributions, Routledge, 1997.)""The first review of the translation, which appeared in the Göttingische gelehrte Anzeigen for March 10, 1777, by J. G. H. Feder, professor of Philosophy at the University of Göttingen, was very favorable. In the words of the reviewer: ""It is a classic"" very estimable both for its thorough, not too limited, often far-sighted political philosophy, and for the numerous, frequently discursive historical notes,"" but the exposition suffers from too much repetition."" (Lai, Cheng-chung. Adam Smith Across Nations: Translations and Receptions of The Wealth of Nations, Clarendon Press, UK, 2000).Until 1797, [...], the work of Adam Smith received scant attention in Germany. While Frederick II was living, Cameralism held undisputed sway in Prussia, and the economic change which began with the outbreak of the French Revolution had still not gained sufficient momentum to awake the economic theorists from their dogmatic slumber."" (Lai, Cheng-chung. Adam Smith Across Nations: Translations and Receptions of The Wealth of Nations, Clarendon Press, UK, 2000).Various German economist read the german translations and was inspired by it.""Christian Garve, [...], must be considered as among the important contributors to the spread of Smith's views. Himself a popularizer of philosophical doctrines, he was early attracted by the Scotch writers and became one of their foremost exponents in Germany."" In 1791 Garve began a second translation of the Smith's work and in the introduction to the the translation he wrote: ""It (Smith's work) attracted me as only few books have in the course of my studies through the number of new views which it gave me not only concerning the actual abject of his investigations, but concerning all related material from the philosophy of civil and social life"". Georg Sartorius, August Ferdinand Lueder and, perhaps the most important economist of the period, Christian Jacob Kraus, were all important figures in the spread of Smith's thought. ""The most significant of Kraus' works and that also which shows his conception of economic science most clearly is the five-volume work entitled State Economy. The first four volumes of this work are little more than a free paraphrase of the Wealth of Nations"". Kraus was: ""to a large extent responsible for the economic changes which took place in Prussia after 1807, in so far as they can be ascribed to Smithan influence."" (Lai, Cheng-chung. Adam Smith Across Nations: Translations and Receptions of The Wealth of Nations, Clarendon Press, UK, 2000).Kraus wrote of the present volume: ""[T]he world has seen no more important book than that of Adam Smith.... [C]ertainly since the times of the New Testament no writing has had more beneficial results than this will have.... [Smith's doctrines form] the only true, great, beautiful, just and beneficial system.""

‎The extremely scarce first Danish edition of Adam Smith's seminal main work, ""the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought"" (PMM 221), the main foundational work of the era of liberal free trade. This publication constitutes the first Danish work worth mentioning in the history of economic thought - in spite of the great interest in political economy that dominated Danish political thought in the last quarter of the 18th century. The value of Smith's work was not immediately recognized in Denmark at the time of its appearance and a quarter of a century had to go by for its importance to be acknowledged and for Danish political economy to adapt the revolutionizing theories of Adam Smith. Few copies of the translation were published and sold, and the book is now a great scarcity. As opposed to for instance the German translation of the work, Smith concerned himself a great deal with this Danish translation. As is evident from preserved correspondence about it, he reacted passionately to it and was deeply concerned with the reaction to his work in Scandinavia (see ""Correspondence of Adam Smith"", Oxford University Press, 1977).- As an example, Smith writes in a letter to Andreas Holt on Oct. 26th, 1780: ""It gives me the greatest pleasure to hear that Mr. Dreby has done me the distinguished honour of translating my Book into the Danish language. I beg you will present to him my most sincere thanks and most respectful Compliments. I am much concerned that I cannot have the pleasure of reading it in his translation, as I am so unfortunate as not to understand the Danish language."" The translation was made by Frants Dræby (1740-1814), the son a whiskey distiller in Copenhagen, who mastered as a theologian and was then hired by the great Norwegian merchant James Collett as tutor to his son. There can be no doubt that Dræbye's relation to the Collett house had a great impact upon his interest in economics. In the middle of the 1770'ies, Dræbye accompanied Collett's son on travels throughout Europe, which took them to England in the year 1776, the same year that the ""Wealth of Nations"" was published for the first time. Through the Colletts, Dræbye was introduced to the mercantile environment in England and here became thoroughly acquainted with English economics and politics at the time. It is presumably here that he gets acquainted with Adam Smith's freshly published revolutionary work. When Dræbye returned to Denmark at the end of 1776, he was appointed chief of the Norwegian secretariat of the Board of Economics and Trade. He began the translation of the ""Wealth of Nations"" that he brought back with him from England immediately after his return.""WN [i.e. Wealth of Nations] was translated into Danish by Frants Dræbye and published in 1779 (three years after the first English edition). The translation was initiated by Andreas Holt and Peter Anker, who were acquainted with Smith. Dræbye was a Dane who lived mainly in Norway, reflecting the fact that Norway was much more British-oriented than Denmark proper (Denmark and Norway were united until 1814, when Sweden took Norway away from the Danes"" in 1905 Norway became an independent state). Norwegian merchants lived from exporting timber to Britain and tended on the whole to be adherents of a liberal economic policy, whereas the absolutist government in Copenhagen was more German-oriented and had economic views similar to those in contemporary Prussia."" (Cheng-chung Lai (edt.): ""Adam Smith Across Nations"", p. (37)). The last quarter of the eighteenth century in Denmark was dominated by a lively discussion of monetary policy and the institutional framework best suited to realize that policy. There was a vital interest in questions of economic concern, and contemporary Danish sources refer to the period as ""this economic age"" and state things such as ""never was the world more economically minded"" (both from ""Denmark and Norway's Economic Magazine""). During this period, Smith's revolutionary ideas did not play a major role, however, and only at the beginning of the 19th century did Danish politicians and economists come to realize the meaning of Smith's views. ""Without exaggeration it can essentially be said that a quarter of a century was to pass from the time of the publication of the book in Denmark before Danish political economy fully made Adam Smith's theories and points of view its own. It took so long a time because the economic conditions as a whole in the years from 1780-1800 did not make desirable or necessary the changing of their concepts. That glorious commercial period had to pass before it was understood that we had altogether too little help in our own natural resources and that a different course was, therefore, necessary. Only when one had come so far could the new thinking find a nourishing soil so that it could develop strength with which to push aside the old ideas.""(Hans Degen: ""On the Danish Translation of Adam Smith and Contemporary Opinion Concerning It.""
