6 volumes bound in 5 albums. Exceptional, tremendously rare series of Louis De Clercq's renowned (panorama) photos of the Middle East and Muslim Spain in 5 magnificent, uniformly bound, original albums. This is without question the pre-eminent 19th-century photobook of the Middle East. "Louis de Clercq's six-volume Voyage en orient (Journey to the Orient), containing a grand total of no less than 222 prints, can be said to be the culmination of a tradition, the last of the 'first generation' of travel photobooks, that is, the 'amateur' generation. . Those who know these rare volumes, however, regard him [De Clercq] as at least the equal of Du Camp, Salzmann, Teynard and other French pioneers of Middle Eastern photography using the paper negative. His vision is characterized by its precision and assuredness. . And he stands out in another respect: he was an excellent maker of photographic panoramas. Using two or three negatives, he solved both the aesthetic and technical problems of the panorama, and his combination prints are remarkably seamless and artfully constructed." (Parr & Badger, p. 27).Several volumes have since been dispersed into single photographs which have repeatedly appeared at Sotheby's, Ader, and other auction houses, and separate volumes command record prices, while the 5 albums together in their original bindings are all the rarer.Much like the antiquarians of the Renaissance, 19th-century photographers developed a passion for the remains of ancient civilisations. Louis De Clercq (1836-1901) was capable of bringing this passion to life in his photographs, early examples of albumen prints. His oriental experience began with Emmanuel-Guillaume Rey, during his second archaeological expedition to Syria from August to December 1859. De Clercq left Rey's mission after photographing Jerusalem and continued his voyage in the Middle East by travelling to Egypt.Lacking 4 photographs ("Kalaat-el-Hosn general view" in volume 2; "Jerusalem Mosque of Omar" plate 11 in volume 3; "Philae inner courtyard" plate 3 in volume 5; "Seville cathedral bell tower" plate 7 in volume 6). The bindings have been professionally restored. Overall in very good condition.l Aubenas, La photographie en 100 chefs-d'oeuvre (Paris, BnF, 2012); El-Hage, Damascus.

Sezer & Tartarin, Previously unknown photographs by Emmanuel-Guillaume Rey Syria, 1857-1859. Uniform, original red leather-grained cloth with the title and name of the author lettered in gold on the front board. With 218 (of 222) photographs, albumen prints from waxed paper negative, including 23 panoramas, all mounted on cardboard, each plate with a lithographed number and caption. Album I contains photos of cities, monuments, and other picturesque views of Syria (49 prints including 11 panoramas); II: castles from the time of the Crusaders in Syria (36 (of 37) prints including 5 panoramas); III: views of Jerusalem and holy places in Palestine (29 (of 30) prints including 1 panorama); IV (bound together with III): the stations of the cross along the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem (14 prints); V: monuments and picturesque sites in Egypt (40 (of 41) prints including 1 panorama); VI: cities, monuments, and other picturesque views in Spain (50 (of 51) prints including 5 panoramas). The sizes of the albumen prints vary from ca. 20 x 27 cm. to ca. 112 x 20 cm.

Oblong folio (593 × 460 mm). 6 albums in 5 volumes containing 218 (of 222) albumen prints from waxed paper negatives, including 23 panoramas, all mounted on cardboard on guards. Lithographed title pages. Publisher's uniform red cloth, gilt lettered upper boards, raised band spines. The exceptional, near-complete suite of Louis de Clercq's renowned photographs of the Middle East and Muslim Spain in five magnificent, original albums, all uniformly bound, rarely preserved as a set. This is without question the pre-eminent 19th century photobook of the Middle East. - The sequence is organized by region into six parts across five albums: two devoted to Syria; one to Palestine and Jerusalem; one to Egypt; and one to Spain. Vantage point city panoramas and close studies of monuments together document the mid 19th century state of sites later altered or lost. Among the places recorded are Tripoli, Beirut and Baalbek, Damascus, Nazareth, Jerusalem's churches, mosques and gates, Aswan and Karnak, and in Spain Cádiz, Seville and the Alhambra at Granada. - "Louis de Clercq's six-volume 'Voyage en orient' (Journey to the Orient) [.] can be said to be the culmination of a tradition, the last of the 'first generation' of travel photobooks, that is, the 'amateur' generation [.] Those who know these rare volumes [.] regard [de Clercq] as at least the equal of Du Camp, Salzmann, Teynard and other French pioneers of Middle Eastern photography using the paper negative. His vision is characterized by its precision and assuredness [.] And he stands out in another respect: he was an excellent maker of photographic panoramas. Using two or three negatives, he solved both the aesthetic and technical problems of the panorama, and his combination prints are remarkably seamless and artfully constructed" (Parr/Badger, p. 27). - This sumptuous set, in beautiful condition, is of the utmost rarity. Only fifty copies were produced under the direction of the artist, not for sale but to be presented to friends, acquaintances, and dignitaries. Several volumes have since been dispersed into single photographs which have repeatedly appeared at Sotheby's, Ader, and other auction houses. Complete institutional holdings of all five albums are scarce, and surviving market sets are exceptional. - Lacking four photographs: "Kalaat-el-Hosn vue générale" (vol. 2), "Jérusalem Mosquée d'Omar" (vol. 3, pl. 11), "Philae cour intérieure" (vol. 5, pl. 3), "Séville clocher de la cathédrale" (vol. 6, pl. 7), as well as the title-page of "Voyage en Espagne". Some plates detached; one photograph cut down with trimmed margins. Scattered foxing (chiefly to titles) and occasional marginal handling; binding rubbed and scratched, spine-ends and corners worn. - El-Hage, Damascus.

Albumen print from paper negative. Good tonal range and in very good condition. The building represents "le couvent des soeurs de la Charità à Beyrouth". Actually Louis de Clercq stood on its rooftop and took his 360 degrees panorama of this city. The building was built outside the walls of Beirut and was facing one of the seven gates of the city "Bab el Derkeh". In our days, it has been replaced by "Al Azarieh building", built in the 1950's and is now facing the maronite "St Georges Cathedral", seen in this 1930's postcard. It lies in "Emir Bà chir" street in the very heart of downtown Beirut.
