    portraits engraved by the great Bartolozzi. With the very rare extra suite o eight Holbein portraits o the court o Francis II, on

    included with some copies.

    At the end of the 18th century, John Chamberlaine, in the court of George III, sought to bring together a work to pay tribute Holbeins magnicent artistry. As the kings Keeper of the Drawings, he assembled 84 splendid color stipple-engraved full-paportraits. Initially issued serial ly in 14 parts from 1792-1800. e plates were etched or engraved in gray or sepia ink, with additioncolored inks applied a la poupee, two hand-colored. Text by Edmund Lodge. e suite of eight additional portraits of the courtFrancis II is all that was published of an intended continuation to Chamberlaines Imitations. It will be noticed that all eight awithout dated imprints, and it is therefore probable that no copies were issued to the public until the stock was acquired many yealater by Messrs. Bohn, who added them as a Supplement to copies of the earlier work (AbbeyLife 206). Lowndes 1381. AbbeyL205, 206. An extra leaf of the plate list is laid into the volume. Some plates mounted, 10 on pink paper. Portrait of Warham with minrepair to margin, not aecting image. Plates exceptionally bright and clean, with only very minor instances of foxing. Bindihandsome. An excellent copy of a magnicent work, most rare with the supplemental suite of plates.

    Douvilles Congo, 1832, With Te ScarceAtlas Containing 20 Plates And Large Map Of Te Region

    5. (AFRICA) DOUVILLE, Jean-Baptiste. Voyage au Congo Paris, 1832. ree volumes and Atlas. Octavo, originalpale blue printed wrappers; Atlas, slim folio (11-1/2 by 15 inches), original wrappers rebacked. Housed in custom paper-covered slipcase and clamshell box. $8500.

    First edition o this early description o the Congo and the ar interior o Angola, with the rare Atlas containing an

    engraved title page, list o plates, 20 ull-page lithographs o inhabitants and their way o lie, and a large engraved olding

    map o the Arican interior by Bru.

    Douville (1794-1837) excited rst wild enthusiasm and then widespread skepticism upon publication of his Voyage auCongo in 1832, on account of his explorations into the very heart of Africa. Although the work came under attack forfabrication, Douville maintained the authenticity of his account, and even Sir Richard Burton maintained that theFrenchmans descriptions of the Congo were lifelike; that his observations on the anthropology, ceremonies, customsand maladies of the people were remarkably accurate; and that the native words used in his narrative were for the mostpart given with unusual correctness. Douville continues to intrigue historians, not only because of the romantic andmysterious quality of the French travelers life, but because his bookif authenticcontains valuable information aboutthe far interior of Angola at a period when few other sources allow more than occasional glimpses of the history and

    culture of the people who lived there. Douvillescredibility has recently received renewed support[by way of] verifying the accuracy of his data on theclimate, geography, politics, and society, [noting]that many names appear in print for the rst time inDouville and only later make their entry into theaccounts of other travelers (Joseph C. Miller). Textin French. Howgego D27. Slight soiling to exteriors,small wormhole to last gathering of Volume III (notaecting text). A nearly ne unopened copy inoriginal wrappers.
