Die Originalausgabe in dänischer Sprache erschien 1772. Diese französische Übersetzung hat 8 Tafeln mehr als die dänische Originalausgabe. Die früheste wissenschaftliche Arbeit über Island, die den Maßstab für alle nachfolgenden Islandstudien setzte. Die Tafeln zeigen die eigentümlichen isländischen geologischen Formationen, Vulkane, typisch isländische Vögel und Fische, Muscheln und isländische Tracht. Olafsen und Povelsen wurden von der Kopenhagener Akademie der Wissenschaften beauftragt, eine wissenschaftliche Reise nach Island zu unternehmen, um alle Aspekte der Insel zu untersuchen, von der sie damals nur vage und unvollkommene Vorstellungen hatten. Das Werk gibt einen Überblick über ihre Forschung. Schönes Exemplar des Atlas mit einer großen Faltkarte von Island und 59 botanischen, zoologischen und landskundlichen Tafeln. Titelseite des Atlas am Rand hinterlegt, eine Tafel mit hinterlegten Einriss am Rand, wenige Blätter am Rand etwas schmutzfleckig. - Insgesamt gutes Exemplar. At present no complete copy can be found in the international antiquarian book trade. First edition translated from Danish by Gauthier de Lapeyronie. The original edition in Danish appeared in 1772. This French translation has 8 plates more than the Danish original edition. The earliest scientific work on Iceland, which set the standard for all subsequent Icelandic studies. The plates show the peculiar Icelandic geological formations, volcanoes, typical Icelandic birds and fish, shells and Icelandic costume. Olafsen and Povelsen were commissioned by the Copenhagen Academy of Sciences to undertake a scientific trip to Iceland to study all aspects of the island of which they had only vague and imperfect ideas at the time. This work gives an overview of their research. Beautiful copy of the atlas with a large folding map of Iceland and 59 botanical, zoological and landscape panels. Title page of the atlas backed at margin, one plate with backed tear at margin, few sheets somewhat stained at margin. - Good copy overall.

[DAVOUT LOUIS NICOLAS]: (1770-1823) Marshal of France, Duc d´Auerstaedt and Prince of Eckmuhl. Known as the Iron Marshal, Davout was the only Napoleonic Marshal not to have been defeated in battle by 1815. Attractive 16 x 21 contemporary printed public notice, one page, Paris, 10th April 1815, in French. The Affiche announcement bears an attractive vignette to the heading with a crowned eagle and is issued during the Hundred Days, and only few weeks after Napoleon´s return from his exile on the island of Elba. The printed heading states “Proclamation - the Minister of War - To all non-commissioned Officers and Soldiers on leave or retreated in French territories”. The proclamation harangues the crowds claiming `You have wanted your Emperor, he has arrived. Come and be ready to defend your Homeland against the enemies who will want to decide the colours we should wear, to impose the Souvereigns and dictate constitutions.”, further saying “Soldiers,.. if your wounds have healed, if you can serve, come, the Honour, the Emperor and the Homeland are calling you. What complaints would you not have to make to yourself if ….foreigners would withdraw France out of the map of Europe!” Bearing multiple and clean contemporary annotations to the verso. Folded, with trimmed edges. G Napoleon Bonaparte returned from the island of Elba on 20th March 1815, starting the historical period known as The Hundred Days war, or the War of the Seventh Coalition which lasted until 8th July 1815, ending with the second restoration of King Louis XVIII.
