First edition decorated with 32 beautiful hors-texte plates finely colored at the time.
Lipperheide, 879; Brunet, I, 1226, Atabey, 149.
"The figures join the merit of the execution to that of an exact resemblance" (Charles Nodier).
Complete with the 32 color plates announced, this work is the work of Balthasar Hacquet.
It was translated from German by Breton de la Martinière.
Balthazar Hacquet (1739-1815) studied medicine in Austria and attended the Seven Years' War as a surgeon. Hacquet was protected by Maria Theresa and Emperor Joseph II, who repeatedly provided him with the necessary funds to carry out scientific exploration trips. He travelled through a large part of the Austrian Empire on foot and made important and numerous geological, petrographic, paleontological, botanical and ethnological observations.
"The work of Dr. Hacquet, by increasing the notions that his predecessors have given on the customs, habits and costumes of the various inhabitants of Dalmatia, spreads brand new light on the inhabitants of Illyria, a people so little known until now in France [...] The style, as in all the other works of Mr. Breton in the same genre, has the double merit of rapidity and clarity" (Treuttel and Würtz).
A beautiful and precious copy complete with the 32 engravings finely colored at the time and preserved in its elegant contemporary morocco.
Provenance: Augusta-Amalia of Bavaria library (1788-1851) with bookplate.
Daughter of Maximilian Joseph king of Bavaria and Marie-Wilhelmine-Auguste of Hesse-Darmstadt, Augusta-Amalia of Bavaria married Eugène Pierre de Beauharnais, known as Prince Eugène, adopted son of Napoleon I and viceroy of Italy (O. Hermal, plche. 2672)
