FILIPPO TOMMASO MARINETTI (Alexandria, Egypt, 1876-Bellagio, Como, 1944). "Futurism against passatism". London, 1914. Mixed media on paper. Signed and dated. With drawing on the back by JOSÉ CAPUZ (1884-1964). Measurements: 21 x 18 cm. Graphic composition by Marinetti, an original drawing by the founder of Futurism (perhaps a sketch for a poster), on the back of which appears a drawing by the sculptor José Capuz. Dated in London, significantly, the year of the outbreak of the First World War. Known for being the founder of the Futurist movement, the first Italian avant-garde of the nineteenth century, which served as the basis for Mussolini's fascism. Marinetti was an Italian poet, writer, ideologue, playwright and editor. He came from the utopian and symbolist artistic and literary community Abbaye de Créteil, of which he was a member between 1907 and 1908. Both as a poet and as a politician and ideologist, he was strongly influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche, Sorel, Giuseppe Mazzini and by the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, being the author of the Futurist Manifesto, written and published in 1909, and also of the Fascist Manifesto, written and published in 1919. Considered the father of Italian fascism, he worked closely with Mussolini and greatly inspired the latter. In 1942 he fought in Soviet territory as part of an Italian expeditionary force, being wounded at Stalingrad. His most famous poem is "The 5 Stars". Mainly a sculptor, although he was also a painter and draftsman, José Capuz was trained at the Royal Academies of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia and San Fernando in Madrid. He furthered his studies in the workshop of the sculptor Félix Granda and, thanks to a scholarship, he made a long trip that took him to Rome, Florence, Naples and Paris. Academic of San Fernando since 1927, he is currently represented in the Provincial Museum of Jaen and the collections of various brotherhoods, as well as public places in various Spanish cities.

EGYPT (campaign of) and others. - DODE DE LA BRUNERIE (Guillaume). Autograph manuscript. 21 floréal an VI-5 thermidor an XI [10 mai 1798-24 juillet 1803] and s.d. Approx. 165 pp. in-12 in a paperback notebook in soft card cover covered with dominoté paper. Diary kept mainly in Alexandria during the Egyptian campaign. The future marshal first wrote a short introduction in the style of historiographical accounts, still naming the campaign "Expedition known as the Mediterranean Coast Expedition", with lists of ships, officers (including "comrades"), or scholars. The main body of the text then takes on the form of a diary. Stationed in Alexandria, Guillaume Dode de La Brunerie records the actions of the French, Turks and English as he knew them, mentioning for example the battles of Aboukir (1799 and 1801), Heliopolis and Canope, which is extremely useful for understanding what an officer on the spot might have known and thought about the events of the campaign. This diary is a first-hand source for the final period of the campaign, when General-in-Chief Menou withdrew to Alexandria before capitulating. Guillaume Dode de La Brunerie recounts the English bombardments from ships in the harbor and from high ground, the ravages of scurvy among the soldiers, the discussions among the command and the negotiations leading up to the capitulation. Guillaume Dode de La Brunerie reembarked for France in October 1801 on the same English ship as the future Grand Marshal Bertrand. At the end of the volume, he has devoted a few pages to compiling an itinerary of his travels, an account of expenses, and a commented list of the miners' and engineers' officers he met during this campaign. Finally, the future Marshal Dode de La Brunerie adds a few details of his professional and private movements after his return to France, until his departure for the Boulogne camp. illustrated with 5 original drawings (pen and ink): sketch of the battle of Heliopolis (1800), plan of the battle of Aboukir (1801), 2 plans of the battle of Canope (1801), a small level plan of the environs of Alexandria. Attached, from the same source, an autograph plan entitled "Plan de la rade et presqu'isle d'Aboukir avec la position et les mouvemens des vaisseaux français et anglois au combat du 14 thermidor an 6e [1er août 1798], ainsi que celle de l'armée turque débarquée le 27 messidor et détruite à la bataille du 7 thermidor an 7e [25 juillet 1799]". Black, brown and red ink, with watercolor wash highlights, 52 x 43 cm, sheet cut into 4 parts, canvas-backed and folded to in-4 format with autograph title page; a few tears. This plan was engraved on copper and published by Denain and Delamare around 1830-1831.

Scattered minutes of future General Cazals' notes on Sicily and Italy on his return from Egypt at the end of 1801. After serving in the army's campaigns in Holland and Germany under Kléber and Championnet, Louis-Joseph-Elisabeth Cazals (1774-1813) was employed by the Armée d'Orient in May 1798, shortly after being promoted to chef de bataillon. He served in the capture of Malta in June 1798, then in the capture of Alexandria; appointed commander of the Kléber division's engineers, he was at the Pyramids and at the battle of Gemyleh in September; appointed commander of the fort of El Arich, he was forced to capitulate following a revolt by the garrison in January 1800. He was promoted to provisional brigade commander by Kléber shortly after Heliopolis, and served in the recapture of Cairo and Alexandria. According to Six, he returned to France at the end of 1801, where he was appointed director of fortifications at Perpignan, then commander of the engineering corps at the Montreuil camp. Notes on Herculaneum and Naples: "Herculaneum, now covered with lava, ash and earth to a height of 100 feet, was founded on lava; it was destroyed at the same time as Pompeia, but its less unfortunate inhabitants had time to save themselves (...). Until 50 years ago, the location of Herculaneum was unknown (...). All the objects found at Herculaneum, Pompeia and Stabine have been brought together in the museum; in the course of the war, all the most precious items were taken to Palermo (...)". Enclosed: notes extracted from Scamori, on the different orders of architecture, a sketch of the coast of Sicily from Syracuse to Messina, after Mr. de Laborde, with indication of the main towns and the volcano of Etna and sketches of plans of Roman houses with atrium, plan of a Roman amphitheater, sketch of a portico.
