Choisuel-Gouffier's Magnificent 18th century Travel to Greece and the Coasts of Asia Minor.

<em>Voyage pittoresque de la Grèce.</em> CHOISEUL-GOUFFIER, Marie-Gabriel-Florent-Auguste, comte de Voyage pittoresque de la Grèce. Voyage pittoresque de la Grèce. Tome premier. Paris J. J. Blaise 1782
Folio; Engraved allegorical title, [4] xvi (letterpress title) pp 204 . Directions to binder on rear paste down.
Full calf; spine gilt; 6 raised bands; labels.
With copper engraved vignette title, 13 maps, 2 of them folding, 32 full-page views, 27 sheets of half-page plates, maps and plans, 29 full-page plates (largely of architectural details), 4 costume illustrations on 1 sheet and 14 illustrative head- and tail-pieces. Tissue guards to plates.
First edition, first issue, (the Discours Préliminaireconcluding on the fourth line of page xvi.) of Choiseul-Gouffier's magnificent Voyage pittoresque de la Grèce .
Based on Choiseul Gouffier´s own account of his travel in 1776 as member of Marquis de Chabert´s expedition for mapping the Eastern Mediterranean. First Volume only, complete in itself, it would later be reissued with a second volume in two parts published in 1809 and 1822.
From Toulon, the French frigate Atalante sailed to Sardinia, Malta and Sicily, and put in at the port of Coroni. Then followed the islands of Cimolos, Melos, Siphnos, Sicinos, Ios, Santorini, Naxos, Tenos, Syros, Delos, Paros, Antiparos, Scyros, Lemnos, Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Patmos, Cos, Rhodes and Symi. The party then crossed over to Çesme opposite Chios, and Macre (pres. Fethiye), continuing their tour in western Asia Minor, visiting Telmessos, Mylassa, Stratonike, Bodrum-Halicarnassus, Iassos, Heraclea by Latmus, Didyma, Priene, Miletus, Ephesus, Teos and Smyrna.

The work was a considerable success and led to Choiseul- Gouffier's rise in cultural and political France culminating in 1784, when Choiseul-Gouffier was elected a member of the Académie Française and was appointed Ambassador of France to the Sublime Porte by Louis XVI, where he would remain until removed by the French revolutionary government in 1792 and went into exile in Russia where he would become director of the Academy of Arts and Imperial Library for Catherine the Great
Whilst ambassador to the Sublime Porte he used the opportunity to further his archeological and other researches with the aid of amongst others Louis François Cassas, J B Le Chevalier and Anse de Villoison.
Eventually returning to France from exile in 1802 he began work on the second, supplementary, volume which was published in two parts, the first in 1809, and the "final biographical livraison was published posthumously" in 1822. [Blackmer/ Navari] Some chipping of head cap and tail of spine; joints starting; corners bumped.

He states that he has examined all these works to create the definitive description of the Islands and their important place in Europe, "that directs its gaze most closely towards the Orient" He praises the rich history under the Greeks Romans, Bizants and Venetiens , but laments the present desolate and deserted state of under the "heavy yoke of the Empire of the Turks" , a condition he believes and hopes will be ameliorated by the return of Christian rule.

Second French edition.
Folio : ( 335x215mm); pp[xii] + 408 + [6]
Engraved allegorical frontispiece by R du Val; title in red & black. Lacking the portrait of the author. Large folding map of "Mare Mediterraneum" and 210 numbered copper engravings plates on 54 single leaves, 26 double-page plates mounted on guards, and 17 large folding multi -page panoramas mounted on guards, 23 engraved vignettes in the text plus 3 engraved insriptions. Views by Cornelis de Bruyn, engraved by H. van Krooneveld, c.1699.

"Starting out from Hague, Flemish traveller and artist Cornelis de Bruyn (1652-1727) journeyed through the East from 1674 to 1693. In his second long journey (which lasted from 1701 till 1708) he travelled to Persia and Moscow and finally reached East India. Hundreds of drawings illustrate De Bruyn's chronicles, which have thus rightly earned the reputation of two of the most beautiful travel accounts of all time. Drawings were made by De Bruyn himself – "that was the chief aim of my travels", he wrote, who also supervised the etching of the various views. His chronicle was first published in Flemish and the first French edition of this marvellous work came out in Delft in 1700. According to De Bruyn's own testimony, in his journey throughout the East he carried with him the chronicles of P. Della Valle, J. Thevenot, Ol. Dapper, J.J. Grelot and T. Smith.
The author arrived to Smyrna from Sicily, visited Ephesus and continued on to Magnesia and finally Istanbul. He stayed in this city for a year and a half; in his chronicle he provides a description of the splendid capital and of the coasts of Bosporus as well. On 1st July 1680 he crossed the Dardanelles by boat. He described the Troy region and in February 1681 departed again from Smyrna to Chios, where he stayed for some time. He called this last island "paradise". De Bruyn then travelled in the east Mediterranean, first to Cos and Rodos, of which he gave a description, then to Egypt and from there to the Holy Land and Syria. On his return trip, he visited Cyprus. The rich illustrations of his work made it extremely popular. He is the first traveller to have depicted the interior of the Pyramids in Egypt, Palmyra in Syria and Persepolis in Iran, as well as everyday snapshots of his journey."
[ Ioli Vingopoulou (eng.travelogues.gr Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation)] The fine multi-plate, folded panoramas are: Smyrna [ 1000x298mm]; Constantinople [1920x300mm]; 2 of the Bosphorus [each 1000x300mm] ; Chios [1250x304mm]; 2 of Rhodes[640x230mm & 635x228mm]; Tyre [635x250mm];
