Show morePlates include views of Constantinople and its surroudings, some costume subjects and, curiously enough, various forms of Turkish transport by Jean Brindesi, an Italian painter who worked primarily as a watercolour artist in Istanbul, during the Abdul-Majid period (1831-1861). He worked on scenes involving Ottoman soldiers. Two albums of lithographs after his drawings were produced by Lemercier in Paris: Elbicei Atika – Musee des Anciens Costumes Turcs de Constantinople, 1855, and Souvenirs de Constantinople, 1860; these two works are collections of picturesque views of the city of Constantinople. The originals are kept at the Istanbul Topkapı Palace Museum and at the University of Istanbul. While the first album represents the government and military dignitaries, the second one captures the atmosphere of day-to-day life in Istanbul through quaint and lively depictions. Title from item, date devised. Oblong folio, no letterpress, tinted lithograph title + 20 tinted lithograph plates printed in colours, original purple decorative cloth gilt, purple leather backstrip.

Show moreStudio portrait of Abdullah Bin Alawi, also known as Prince Abudin, the son of a deposed Sultan of Nzwani Island, in the Comoros Archipelago, who had once represented his father as an ambassador to Mauritius. Though in reality no longer a prince, in early 1858 he managed to convince the British Political Resident in Aden and subsequently other administrators around the globe that they should grant him certain privileges and for almost a decade he travelled the world under various assumed names at the expense of the British Government. Alawi went to Karachi, Muscat, Zanzibar, Madras, Sri Lanka, Aden, Madagascar, Cape Town, Paris and in 1863 he finally made it to London and was last heard of in Cairo in 1866. Jeremy Prestholdt's uphold that the Abdullah Bin Alaw case " [...] reveals the efficacy of cross-cultural performances of similarity - a strategy of appeal that I call similitude - on the stage of global relation. It demonstrates how the strategic uses of imported symbols affected the producers of those symbols and ultimately their relation to Nzwanians. Nzwanians relied on similitude to affect relations with diverse foreigners, including Arab, French, and American visitors. But by exploring the extreme case of Nzwanian appropriations of Englishness, we can more clearly discern how the cultural appropriation of symbols in even seemingly marginal locales has affected patterns of global interrelation".

Show moreThe album, possibly a unique copy, it is the second edition, in a smaller format (wide in-4) of the 1841 elephant folio publication Panorama d'Egypte et du Nubie by the French architect and Egyptologist Hector Horeau, who travelled extensively in Egypt between 1837 and 1839. During his stay in Thebes in 1839, he met Pierre-Gustave Joly de Lotbinière. Lotbinière’s daguerreotype views allowed Horeau to achieve great accuracy in illustrations in addition to the sketches taken on site. This edition has 28 plates with 48 photographic reproductions of the original engravings related to Egypt, with the addition of one which was not in the original edition (Vue des Colosses d'Amenophis III).
