VAN DE VELDE, Carol Wilhelm Meredith (1818-1898)
Le Pays d'Israel. Collection de cent vues prises d'après nature dans la Syrie et la Palestine. Paris: Renouard, 1857.
One of only 300 copies printed, this rare complete copy bound in the publisher's cloth includes the lithographed title which is often missing. Van de Velde was a Dutch naval officer, who made two journeys to the Middle East in 1851 and 1852. His narrative of these journeys was first published in English in 1854, with these plates appearing three years later. Blackmer states they were published in 20 livraisons, in a print run of only 300 copies, with the stones subsequently destroyed. The present copy shows that they were also available in publisher's cloth. The fine lithographs all carry the publisher's small blind stamp, and illustrate views of Beirut, Sidon, Mount Hermon, the ruins of Hazour, Mellia, Akka, Samaria, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Kidron, Bethlehem, Hebron, Dead Sea, Gaza, etc. Blackmer 1723; Röhricht 2275 (3).
4 volumes, folio (550 x 385mm), comprising one volume of text and 3 plate volumes. Lithographic title, 98 views and one map, approximately half the plates in chromolithography, some with hand-finishing, the remainder tinted or monochrome lithographs (a few faint spots to plates at beginning of first plate vol., a few plates in second plate vol. with upper corner faintly creased). Publisher's moiré fine-ribbed green cloth, covers panelled in blind with upper covers lettered in gilt, blue endpapers (extremities lightly rubbed, cloth a fraction bubbled in places, corners lightly bumped, small light stain to upper cover of first plate volume).
