Le Brésil, ou Histoire, Moeurs, Usages et Coutumes des Habitans de ce Royaume
Hippolyte Ferninand Denis Taunay, 1822
TAUNAY, Hippolyte Ferdinand Denis (1793-1864). Le Brésil, ou Histoire, Moeurs, Usages et Coutumes des Habitans de ce Royaume. Paris: Nepveu, 1822.

Scarce first edition of an important work on Brazil, with over 50 attractive, gem-like lithographic illustrations. The author was the son of the painter Nicolas-Antoine Taunay, who emigrated to Brazil after the fall of Napoleon. The younger Taunay had studied under Cuvier in Paris, and later traveled as his assistant through Brazil. In addition to original observations of the country, Taunay includes important historical reports of early European travelers in the region, including Jean de Léry and Hans Staden; some of the illustrations reproduce images from those works. Only two copies are recorded by RBH at auction. Borba de Moraes pp.846-7; Colas 2857 (53 plates); Sabin 94416; Howgego p. 584.

Six volumes, 12mo (129 x 80mm). 54 hand-colored lithographed plates, over half of which are double-page or folding (a few scattered spots). Contemporary mottled calf gilt, edges marbled (spines sunned).Hippolyte Ferdinand Denis Taunay
