Recueil de cent estampes représentant différentes Nations du Levant... Paris : Basan, 1714 [1715].

Superbe exemplaire, entièrement colorié, de cet ouvrage de référence sur les peuples du Levant. Ambassadeur à Constantinople pendant douze ans, Charles de Ferriol fit peindre cent tableaux par Jean-Baptiste Van Mour, figurant cérémonies et scènes de la vie quotidienne de différentes classes sociales à travers l'empire ottoman : eunuques, derviches, cavaliers, imams, danseurs et commerçants y sont représentés dans leurs habits. Publié sans texte en 1714, le recueil fut complété l'année suivante par des explications sur les planches, deux nouvelles planches à double-page ("L'enterrement turc" et "Derviches dans leurs temples") ainsi qu'une planche de musique. Cet exemplaire est issu de la seconde édition réunissant les deux parties, bien complet des planches ajoutées et présentant le texte explicatif gravé et retouché, avec le feuillet "Anecdotes de l'Ambassade". Brunet, III, col. 947-948 ; Cohen-De Ricci, col. 619-620 ; Colas, I, n° 1819-1820 ; Von Lipperheide, I, n° 1413-1414 ; Blackmer, n° 591.



In-folio (535 x 343 mm). Illustré de 102 planches aquarellées à l'époque (dont 3 à double-page) gravées sous la direction de Jacques Le Hay et 1 planche de musique. L'exemplaire se compose comme suit : titre gravé, pp. I-XIV (texte explicatif gravé), planche de musique, 102 planches gravées et coloriées (légères piqures et taches sur certaines planches). Reliure postérieure : maroquin vert à long grain, filet et roulette dorés en encadrement des plats, dos lisse orné de filets, roulettes et petits fers dorés (reliure frottée, acrocs sur les plats, coins et mors frottés, coiffe supérieure arrachée avec manque de cuir).



Beautiful copy of the second edition, with all plates colored, of this famous series of costume plates.
