‎Rare first edition of Spon’s famous travel account" “one of the most important accounts of travels in the Levant, and the first description of Athens which was systematic, detailed and trustworthy"" (Blackmer) – it remained an important reference up until the 19th century. “The three-volume account of Spon's voyage was first published in Lyon in 1678. It constituted a major literary event, and became a landmark in travel literature. It is the product of first-hand investigation, free of plagiarism and also touches on contemporary issues in the Greek territories which he visited. The second volume includes an important glossary of modern Greek words, for travellers' use, while the third volume is dedicated exclusively to the inscriptions and coins collected by Spon during his journey. Spon's travel account was republished in French and was translated into English. Four years later, George Wheler published his own account of their journey, which is in fact but a mediocre copy of Spon's work. In 1680, Spon published his “History of Geneva” and in 1685 an catalogue of ancient Greek inscriptions.” (Vingopoulou, Aikaterini Laskarids Foundartion).‎

‎The exceedingly rare first French translation of Lassels‘ travel-guide, considered the first comprehensive guide to Italy it quickly became the most influential English guidebook of its day. The concept of the “Grand Tour” was also first introduced here. Lassels’ asserts that any truly serious student of architecture, antiquity, and the arts must travel through France and Italy, and suggested that all ""young lords"" make what he referred to as the Grand Tour in order to understand and learn about the political, social and economic realities of the world. “The idea of tourism as self-enriching rather than soul-preserving come truly into vogue between 16th and 18th centuries. The Grand Tour, a term first used in the French translation of a ‘Voyage or a Compleat Journey through Italy’ by Richard Lassels published in 1670, encompassed experience (including sexual), education and exchange of ideas, creating the largest and most independent wandering “academy” – a sort of finishing school – that Western civilization had ever known”. (White, Museum and Heritage Tourism). “The term ‘Grand Tour’ itself first appeared in the French translation of Richard Lassels’ Voyage or a Complete Journey Through Italy, which was published in 1670. This was one of a number of accounts of travel on the Continent, most of which were written by Englishmen, and by the early eighteenth century, there was a steady stream of such publications. The eighteenth century then saw a massive growth in the production of books, newspapers, and other printed material, and this encouraged the development of different types of writing and publishing, including travel accounts. There also emerged travel guides, the most useful of which was probably The Grand Tour containing an Exact Description of most of the Cities, Towns and Remarkable Places of Europe by Mr [Thomas] Nugent, first published in four volumes in 1743, and repeatedly republished. An alternative was The Gentleman’s Pocket Companion for Travelling into Foreign Parts, first published in 1722, which contained a list of useful phrases at the end, but not, perhaps, those which the wellbred young man should employ.” (Kathleen Burk, The Grand Tour of Europe) The most influential English guidebook of the period, conditioning the first impressions of many a tourist to that country. It also provided the basis for subsequent guidebooks . . . The unprecedented attention it paid to art and architecture encouraged the phenomenon of the eighteenth-century style 'grand tour' (a term coined by Lassels) according to which art prevailed over all other subjects, religious or secular"" (ODNB). The original English edition was published in 1670. French translations were published it 1671 and 1682. A German translation titled 'Ausführliche Reise-Beschreibung durch Italien' appeared in Frankfurt editions in 1673 and 1696. It was reprinted well into the 1700ies. Provenance: A large Danish estate.‎

‎Second enlarged edition of Dumont's account of his voyages which became highly popular - party because of this work he was named official historiographer to king Charles VI. “Born in Rouen in 1667, Jean Dumont, a French Protestant, was enrolled in the army of which he became captain after taking part in campaigns in the Palatinate and Schwabia. He left the army after he was arrested, falsely suspected of espionage. After his release, he left for Italy and then for Turkey on 26 May 1690. In August 1692, after travelling across Germany on his was back he went to the Hague, where he published his ‘Nouveau voyage du Levant’ in 1694. He dedicated it to William of Schuylenburg, Lord of Dukenburg, “counsellor and clerk to the council to his Britannic Majesty”, who was “ the support of so many illustrious exiles, whom the tempest of the age has cast upon the shores of Holland…”. An enlarged edition was published in 1699 (The present work). He later studied and taught law. He also became historiographer to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI and was made Baron of Carlscroon. He died in Vienna on 13th May 1727. (Christians under the Ottoman Turks) Cox I, 217Brunet VI, 20058‎

‎A fine copy of this scarce classical work on the Alps and its glaciers, written by the famous Swiss traveler and writer Marc Theodore Bourrit (1739-1819), a great and enduring traveler of the Alps who pioneered in making them known to the rest of the world. He was furthermore the first to ascent the Buet and the first traveler (and second person in all) to attempt to climb Mont Blanc.Originally, Bourrit, actually born in France, was an artist, etcher, and pastor famous for his wonderful singing voice and love of music. When he was given the job as choirmaster of the Church of St Peter in Geneva, he finally had time to devote himself to the exploration of the Alps, for which he possessed a great passion. Saussure, who had initially come up with the idea of someone climbing the tallest mountain, the Mont Blanc, and had offered a reward for doing this, usually brought Bourrit with him on his mountain-ascents, both due to his abilities in this field, but also due to his excellent artistic skills with which he would be able to document the excursions. But Bourrit's greatest merit lies in making the Alps know to the rest of the world, and in this he was a pioneer. From 1769 he had toured the Alpine country year after year, and he kept doing this until 1802 (he stopped aged 63). Perhaps his greatest work is the present ""Nouvelle description des glaciers""... which constitutes one of the first attempts to spread public knowledge about the Alps and the glaciers.Due to his important work within the field, he was named ""historiographe des Alpes"" by Emperor Joseph II.‎
