Malerische reise in Istrien und Dalmatien.--v. 6. Malerische Reise in Neapel und Sicilien. In 6 Bandchen ... Fine German series of engravings showing Levantine travel views, accompanied by extensive descriptions, rarely encountered in a complete set. The plates were engraved after Louis François Cassas's "Voyage pittoresque de la Syrie, de la Phénicie, de la Palestine et de la Basse Égypte" (Paris 1799, 180 plates in-folio; never completed - cf. Cohen/Ricci 204; Tobler 134) and were used previously in the "Wiener Taschenbuch" published by Degen from 1803 to 1809. The travels whose views are depicted here were mainly undertaken during the years 1778-87; Cassas was one of the engravers whom Choiseul-Gouffier had hired for his "Voyage Pittoresque". The text is compiled from the reports of various travellers. The views depict cities, landscapes, and classical and modern buildings of the Near East, usually enlivened by human and animal figures, including the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, a holy camel, as well as the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 1779, the Phlegrean Fields near Naples, etc. - Contemp. owner's note "Schumburg" on front pastedown of vol. 3.
