Lot 65 | CASTELLAN, Antoine-Laurent (1772-1838) Mœurs, usages, costum...
CASTELLAN, Antoine-Laurent (1772-1838). Mœurs, usages, costumes des Othomans, et abrégé de leur histoire... Paris, Nepveu, 1812.



Édition originale. Un des quelques exemplaires (4 ou 6 selon les sources) sur papier vélin superfin avec les figures en noir et coloriées à la main, avec rehauts d’or. Architecte, peintre, aquarelliste et graveur, Castellan, élève du peintre paysagiste Valenciennes, fit plusieurs voyages, en Suisse, en Italie et dans l'Empire ottoman. Peintre de la mission de l'ingénieur Ferregeau auprès du sultan Sélim III, il séjourna plusieurs mois à Constantinople en 1797. Au gré de ses déplacements dans la ville, Castellan dessinait tout ce qui s'offrait à ses yeux. Il se fit aussi portraitiste de la bonne société stambouliote qu’il retranscrivit dans les nombreux ouvrages qu’il publia à son retour en France. Brunet I, 1225-1227 ; Atabey, 204 ; Koç, 195 ; Colas n° 545 ; Blackmer, n° 300.



6 tomes en un fort volume in-18 (132 x 82 mm). 72 gravures sur cuivre, dont 6 frontispices, en deux états (en noir et coloriées à la main avec rehauts d’or). Sans l’ « Avis au relieur » et le feuillet relatif à l’orthographe des mots arabes, mentionnés uniquement par Colas, 545. Reliure non signée de l’époque : maroquin bleu nuit à long grain, large encadrement doré orné de petits fers, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés aux fers dorés, roulette intérieure dorée et tranches dorées (défaut de papier à une planche en noir du tome III, quelques infimes rousseurs marginales). Provenance : Charles Pieters (Cat., 1864, n° 1356 : « L'un des 6 exemplaires sur papier vélin coquille, avec les figures doubles, noires et coloriées »), avec son ex-libris ; un membre de la famille Merlin d'Estreux de Beaugrenier, avec son ex-libris.
