    Illustrations of the Passes of the Alps by which Italy communicates with France, Switzerland and Germany. Londres et Philadelphie, Charles Tilt et Thomas Warde, 1828-1829. 2 vol. in-4°, reliure demi-basane à coins, dos à nerfs, pièces de titre et de tomaison au dos (reliure récente). Édition originale, illustrée de 12 titres gravés avec vignette, 13 cartes et 84 vues gravées sur acier hors-texte. Description des cols du Petit et du Grand Saint-Bernard, du Montgenèvre, du Mont-Cenis, du Saint-Gothard, du Stelvio, de la Corniche, du Grimsel, du San Bernardino et du Splugen, du Brenner, de Tende et du Simplon. Cet ouvrage est une véritable encyclopédie illustrée des cols des Alpes ; Walter Scott, remerciant l’auteur pour l’envoi de ce livre, dira à ce propos : « En brossant clairement le tableau si intéressant … aux coutumes si particulières, vous avez ajouté un chapitre précieux à l’histoire de l’Europe dont les régions alpines constituent une figure si distinguée et attirante ». Exemplaire de bibliothèque, avec cachets sur les pages de titre et timbre humide sur les planches et sur les tranches. La gravure de titre du Mont-Cenis est placée en tête du volume I, l'ouvrage est bien complet de toutes les planches et cartes. William Brockedon (Totnes 1787 – Londres 1854), fils d’un horloger du Devonshire dans le sud de l’Angleterre, cultiva simultanément ses deux passions pour les voyages et le dessin d’une part, et pour les inventions d’autre part, à l’instar des grands génies de la Renaissance. En tant qu’inventeur, on lui doit le procédé du caoutchouc vulcanisé et diverses machines pour l’industrie. Il fit le portrait de Walter Scott, voyagea en Italie avec le grand Turner, fut membre de la Royal Academy, participa à la fondation de la Royal Geographical Society… Outre son ouvrage sur les cols des Alpes, on lui doit un récit de voyage dans les Alpes (Journal of excursions in the Alps, 1833) et il a fourni une partie des dessins du bel ouvrage de Beattie sur les Vallées Vaudoises, publié en anglais et en français en 1838.

    William Brockedon (1787-1854) – English painter, writer, and inventory “Illustrations of the Passes of the Alps, By Which Italy Communicates with France, Switzerland, and Germany.” London: Self-Published, 1828 & 1829. 2 vols. First editions. Volumes include one folding map of travel route 108 additional plates and maps Provenance: T.J. Coolidge Bookplate, attributed to Thomas Jefferson Coolidge (1831-1920), descendent of the American founding father, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) Folio (333 x 243 mm); three-quarter green leather bindings with marble boards Very good condition An illuminating account of William Brockedon’s multiple crossings of the Alps by way of French, Swiss and German passages. William Brockedon (English, 1787-1854) Brockedon began his life in Totnes in the South Devon area of England. He spent his early years studying with his father, a watchmaker. Though Brockedon exhibited a natural talent for mechanics, after his father’s death, William Brockedon went on to study painting in London for six years. During the years of 1812 to 1837, Brockedon became a regular contributor to the exhibitions at the Royal Academy and the British Institution, exhibiting over sixty works across the historical, landscape, and portraiture categories. At that same time, Brockedon also developed a name for himself as an author, with a particular pension for texts of travel. However, his highly active mind maintained a love of mechanics and technology, which led to his success in several mechanical patents as well. Condition Wear to the green leather over the spine and hinges, with minor chipping to the marble boards. Previous owner’s bookplate on front pastedowns of each volume, as well as round circular label with “B.1” written. A gift inscription dated to 1848 in ink on the front endpaper of both volumes. Minor soiling and occasional minor foxing. The map called for at the end of the second volume is bound into the front of the first volume immediately following the list of plates. In overall very good condition. Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
