Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. [3], 132 pp., 80 plates numbered 1-78 (+2 unnumbered plates), of which 70 lithographed, 8 aquatinted, and 2 engraved, half-title, title vignette, contemporary full marbled calf binding, title gilt on red label on raised and decorated spine, the plates represent costumes and views of Constantinople, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Cairo, etc. occasional foxing, otherwise copy in very good condition. First edition, Brunet states that 325 copies were printed. Two editions, the one marked "Seconde", were also issued in 1819 with the text in 8vo and the folio plates to be purchased separately. Forbin's was one of the first important French books to use lithography on a grand scale, and the standard of production is equal to that of Napoleon's "Description de l'Égypte" or "Denon's Voyage". The plates are after drawings by Forbin, Isabey, Prevost, Fragonard and Carle Vernet. The aquatint plates are all after drawings by Forbin himself. Most of the plates illustrate scenes in Egypt and Syria, including one of Drovetti, French consul in Egypt, measuring a colossal head. The two unnumbered plates illustrate the catacombs of Milos and a diagram of the Holy Sepulchre. In 1816 Forbin replaced Dominique Denon as Director of Museums of France, and in August 1817 he undertook a semi-official year-long voyage to the Levant, having been authorised to purchase antiquities for the Louvre. He travelled to Milos, where his son-in-law Marcellus had negotiated the purchase of the recently discovered Venus de Milo and from there he continued to Athens, Contantinople, Asia Minor, Syria and Palestine. From Jaffa he travelled overland to Alexandria and visited Egypt. His party included the artist Prevost and the engineer Linant de Bellfonds.

Embarquant sur plusieurs navires, il visite tout d'abord Milos, Athène, Constantinople, Ephèse, puis arrive enfin à Saint Jean d'Acre, poursuivant jusqu'à Jerusalem, Gaza, Damiette. Il visite également l'Egypte et ses principaux sites : Le Caire, Louxor, Thèbes, Rosette et Alexandrie. Il acquière de nombreuses antiquités qui enrichiront les collections du Louvre. En dehors de la narration classique et pittoresque du voyage, ce Voyage au Levant se caractérise par sa vision esthétique et artistique ; Forbin est avant tout un homme de l'art, et il oeuvrera beaucoup en France pour les musées, réaménageant les collections du Louvre, créant le musée du Luxembourg et celui de Versailles. Dans le Dictionnaire des orientalistes, Frédéric Hirzel écrit : "Le voyage au Levant du Comte de Forbin reste l'une des plus belles réalisations des Voyages pittoresques du début du XIXe siècle. A la différence de certains de ses précurseurs, comme le Comte de Choiseul-Gouffier, le texte est ici un vrai récit." | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Second edition published the same year as the first, by the same publisher.

Appointed in 1816 as Director General of the Louvre museum, Forbin obtained leave from Louis XVIII to finally realize his youthful dream, a journey to the Levant.

He also visited Egypt and its principal sites: Cairo, Luxor, Thebes, Rosetta and Alexandria. He acquired numerous antiquities that would enrich the Louvre's collections. Beyond the classic and picturesque narrative of the journey, this Voyage au Levant is characterized by its aesthetic and artistic vision; Forbin was above all a man of art, and he would work extensively in France for museums, reorganizing the Louvre's collections, creating the Luxembourg museum and that of Versailles. In the Dictionnaire des orientalistes, Frédéric Hirzel writes: "Le voyage au Levant du Comte de Forbin remains one of the finest achievements of the Voyages pittoresques of the early nineteenth century. Unlike some of his predecessors, such as the Comte de Choiseul-Gouffier, the text here is a true narrative." * (12) 460pp.…

The scarce first edition of Forbin's Voyage with text and plates together of which Brunet says only 325 copies were printed. Forbin's was one of the first important French books to use lithography on a grand scale, and the standard of production is equal to that of Napoleon's Description de l'Ãgypte. The plates are after drawings by Forbin, Isabey, Prevost, Fragonard and Carle Vernet. The aquatinted plates are all after drawings by Forbin himself. Most of the plates illustrate views in Egypt and Syria, including the famous view of Drovetti, French consul in Egypt, measuring a giant head. In 1816 Forbin replaced Denon as Director of Museums, and in 1817 he undertook a year-long voyage to the Levant, having been authorised to purchase antiquities for the Louvre.
