GREECE + THE CRIMEA – extraordinary collected work with about 120 steel-engraved plates and 2 maps World-Painting Gallery or History and Description of all Countries and Peoples, their Religions, Customs, Manners, Traditions, etc. Stuttgart, E. Schweizerbart’s Verlagshandlung, 1836 Translated from French into German by Dr. C. A. Mebold. I. Greece François Charles Hugues Laurent Pouqueville – Greece The extensive main part treats Greece with its history, landscape, population, architecture, antiquities, costumes, and culture. 510 pages, richly illustrated with 112 steel-engraved plates and 2 maps. The numerous steel engravings show, among other things, landscapes, towns and villages, ancient monuments, architecture, costumes, and scenes of social life. II. Special binding: César Famin – “The Crimea” A special bibliographic feature of this copy is the additionally bound, independently titled contribution: César Famin – The Crimea German by Dr. C. A. Mebold The Crimea section comprises 36 pages and 8 separate plates. This contribution does not belong to the regular collation of the Greece part and is not included in its illustration list. It has been bound to the Greece volume in addition. Thus the present historical collection combines two geographically distinct works of the “World-Painting Gallery”: Greece – 510 pages, 112 plates, 2 maps The Crimea – 36 pages, 8 plates Total about 546 pages, about 120 steel-engraved plates, and 2 maps. The combination of Greece and the complete small Crimea part makes this copy particularly interesting compared with a standard single-volume Greece edition. Binding and condition Contemporary binding with signs of age and use. The binding shows wear, bumps, and other for a book nearly 190 years old typical signs of use. The paper is partly browned and foxed due to age. The numerous steel-engraved plates and maps are overall well preserved. Plate and map references have been checked to the best of our knowledge against the book and available catalogs. Due to the large scope, minor discrepancies in manual counts cannot be completely ruled out. Please inspect all photographs carefully. The photographs are expressly part of the description and document the condition and scope of delivery of the offered copy. Provenance The book comes from my private antiquarian collection and was originally acquired through the German book auction trade. The description has been prepared to the best of my knowledge and based on the present copy and bibliographic comparison data. For this historical book, age-related signs of wear are part of the state of preservation. Where legally permissible, the private sale is made without liability for material defects. This exclusion does not apply to claims arising from intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty or in cases of injury to life, body, or health. No guarantees or assurances of specific properties beyond what is expressly stated in the description are assumed. The photographs are part of the item and condition description.
