Description

North Africa - [Manuscript]. Africa. 1837, 38 & 39. Sl, sd (1839). In-4 oblong, calligraphic title framed by orientalizing scrolls, 16 handwritten plates (including 13 watercolors in color), [5] blank ff., red half-chagrin, smooth mute spine (period binding). Covers, spine and corners damaged. A moving notebook of sketches and drawings by a soldier involved in the conquest of Algeria under the July Monarchy, about whom unfortunately nothing is known. The watercolors form a naïve work in which the demonstrative picturesque outweighs the documentary, but the whole undoubtedly constitutes one of the first private iconographies of certain places in Kabylia (details on request).
