BRINDESI, Jean (1826-1888)

Elbieei Atika, Musee des anciens costumes turcs de Constantinople. Paris: Lemercier, [n. d. but c. 1855].

First edition of Brindesi’s first published work capturing the various government and military dignitaries of the court of Mahmud II (1808-1839). The Italian Brindesi was working in Constantinople during the Abdulmecid period (1831-1861). Not only did he work in lithography, he equally created detailed watercolour scenes capturing the topography of the city and his follow up publication to the present work Souvenirs de Constantinople (1855-60) captures the atmosphere of the day-to-day life in Istanbul through attractive and lively depictions. Elbicie Atika was the name of a costume museum in Istanbul, and it is possible that the artist gained inspiration for the present suite of plates from the exhibits displayed at the museum. Atabey 151; Blackmer 206; Bobins I, 121; Colas 446; Lipperheide Lb 60.



Large folio (498 x 366mm). Chromolithographic title with author’s name in gold and 22 chromolithographic plates mounted onto card within decorative gilt border as issued, some plates heightened by hand (repaired marginal tears to title page, small marginal chip and tear to plate 5, light scattered spotting, staining and marginal finger soiling). Modern black cloth, preserving original cloth covers, upper cover panelled in blind with large gilt rococo cartouche enclosing title in gilt (a little scuffed). Provenance: N. Dujardin - Van der Avoort (bookplate).
