North Africa - NODIER (Charles). Journal de l'Expédition des Portes de Fer. Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1844. In-4, [2] ff, XVI-329 pp, cream paper bradel boards, brown mar. on spine (publisher's binding). Illustrated with 40 chine woodcuts and numerous vignettes in the text by Raffet, Dauzats and Decamps, as well as a folded map of the road from Philippeville to Algiers. First edition of one of the finest 19th-century books on the conquest of Algeria. Printed at the King's expense and not placed on the market, the work was printed in small numbers after the death of the Duc d'Orléans as a souvenir for members of the royal family, court dignitaries, government officials and the prince's comrades-in-arms who were members of the expedition. This account of the campaign led by Ferdinand Duc d'Orléans (1810-1842) and Marshal Valée in 1839 was written by Charles Nodier at the request of Louis-Philippe's eldest son, and based on his notes. Charles Nodier provides one of the most interesting illustrated descriptions of Algeria at the time of the second phase of the conquest. The Journal de l'expédition des Portes de Fer combines three rare qualities: it is at once a great literary text, a travel report and a historical testimony. "It is, in fact, the account of the Duke of Orleans' trip to Algeria, from September 19, 1839 to November 2: the Duke visited Oran, Algiers and the surrounding area, Bougie, Philippeville, Constantine and the ruins of Djemila. It was decided to return to Algiers via the Portes de Fer, i.e. by land. The passage through the famous Portes occupies only four pages in the narrative; it was a perilous operation in which the army could have been wiped out, but there was no attack. The Duc d'Orléans asked Nodier to be the historian of this voyage..." (Tailliart). (Tailliart) Spine darkened, covers slightly bent. Very slight scattered brown spots. A very good, well-preserved copy, as issued. Provenance of Lieutenant-Colonel Count DUMAS, aide-de-camp to the King, with handwritten note signed by him on the flyleaf: "I received this work on December 26, 1844 from the hands of S.A.R. Madame la Duchesse d'Orléans, in memory of the Prince her husband". (Tailliart, 1730. Playfair, 1064.)
