First edition in English of volume III, and the second edition in English, revised, of volumes I and II. La Motraye's accounts are enhanced with plates by Hogarth, one of his earliest commissions in book illustration. This set is extra-illustrated with five plates, with most copies found with 56 plates and maps only. Aubrey de La Motraye (1674-1747), of Huguenot origin, began his travels in 1696 with a tour through Scandinavia. He sailed from London for Constantinople in 1698, travelling widely in Turkey and the Levant, where he witnessed the Janissaries' overthrow of Sultan Mustafa II in 1703. During the Russo-Turkish War of 1710-11, he visited Charles XII of Sweden, exiled at Bender, and entered his employ. He also visited the Crimea, Circassia, and the Volga estuary. The Volumes I and II, largely concerning the Ottoman Empire, were first published in 1723, with a French translation appearing in 1727. Volume III, covering later travels to Prussia, Russia, and Poland, was first published in French in 1732. Hogarth's attractive plates, initially appearing in the first edition of 1723, cover a range of subjects, including "An Emerald Vessel" from Genoa Cathedral, "The Inside of a Mosque", "The Seraglio" showing a Turkish harem, and "A Lapland Hut". Twelve plates are signed by Hogarth, while three are unsigned but attributed to him. Only in 1720 had Hogarth embarked on a career as an engraver, moving from silver to copper. In these early years, he undertook different work, such as funeral tickets, shop cards, and book illustration. The transition was not easy, though the printer John Nichols noted: "By indefatigable industry and uncommon strength of genius [Hogarth] has been the artificer of his own fame and fortune" (quoted in Riding, p. 68). Provenance: Elizabeth Wingfield St Aubyn (abt.1738-aft.1782) with her ownership inscription on the titles pages, dated 1765. She was the wife of Sir John St Aubyn, 4th Baronet (1726-1772).

Leder. Condition: Ausreichend. Folio bzw. Groß-Quart, 1723 und 1732. 4 (statt 8) Blatt, 440 Seiten; 432 S. 71 S.; 3 (statt 4) Blatt, 480 S. Ganzleder der Zeit mit Rückenvergoldung, Band 1 und 2 mit goldgeprägtem Wappensupralibros. Sprache: Englisch, (Band 1-2 Ecken und Rücken wohl im 19. Jahrhundert sauber restauriert, berieben und bestoßen, ExLibris für John W. de Kay, Falttafeln teilweise etwas eingerissen, 1 doppelblattgroße Tafel mit Bugeinriss, 2 Textblätter mit je 1 angesetzten Ecke, .sonst sauber und breitrandig. Band 3 hinteres Gelenk etwas eingerissen, kleines Lederloch auf vorderem Deckel, berieben und bestoßen, etwas knapprandig, Titel mit Namensausschnitt, vereinzelt kleiner Feuchtigkeitsrand, im Ganzen aber recht gut erhalten). - Erste Ausgaben des zweibändigen Grundwerkes sowie des zweisprachigen Supplementbandes zu den englischen und französischen Ausgaben, sehr selten. Die englische Ausgabe des Grundwerkes, nach dem Manuskript übersetzt, erschien 4 Jahre vor der französischen Originalausgabe. "La Mottraye [1674-1743] reiste über mehrere Jahrzehnte (von 1696 bis 1725) durch Europa, Asien und Nordafrika. Schwerpunkte seiner Reisebeschreibung sind Italien, Deutschland, Skandinavien, das Osmanische Reich und das nördliche Schwarzmeergebiet." (Griep-Luber). Mit Karten und Plänen sowie schönen Tafeln, teils Frühwerke von William Hogarth, u.a. von griechischen und türkischen Volksfesten und -bräuchen, sowie erlesenen orientalischen Kunstschätzen. Die Bände 1 und 2 von bemerkenswerter Provenienz: Das Wappensupralibros trägt den Wahlspruch "Roi ne suis, ne Prince, ne Duc, ne Comte aussi, je suis le Sire de Coucy". Die Familie de Coucy aus der Picardie wurde einigermaßen populär durch das Buch von Barbara Tuchman "Der ferne Spiegel", in dem sie die Geschichte des 14. Jahrhunderts entlang der Biographie Ihres Protagonisten Enguerrand de Coucy VII. (1340-1397) erzählt. - Komplizierte Tafelkollation, nach Schiötz (mit der besten verfügbaren Kollation) häufig "verket er ukomplette plansjer". Vorhanden in Band 1 und 2 die Karten A-D und die numerierten Tafeln 1-39 (Tafel 5 nn., inkl. zweimal Nr. 6, 7&7A, 17A&B, 26A, 33/1&2, 36&36B - letztere Schiötz unbekannt) ohne Nummern 26 B und 30. Zu Beginn von Bd. 1 fehlen 4 Blatt Subskribenten. Im Supplement fehlen außer dem gestochenen Titel vermutlich 1 Zwischentitel vor Textbeginn sowie die num. Tafeln 3 & 4. - Cox I, 77-78; Paulitschke 686 (nur Bd. 1-2); Schiötz 567 a&d; Estreicher XXII, 600 f. und Lipperheide Cl 6-7 (beide nur Band 3 wie vorliegend und franz. Ausg. für Bd. 1-2); vgl. Blackmer 946 und Griep-Luber 764 (beide nur Band 1-2 in franz. Ausg.). - Scarce first edition of La Motrayes main work in 2 vols, translated from French manuscript and published 4 years earlier than the common French edition. Collating against Schiötz (who is ignorant of pl. 36B) we have 4 folding maps and 43 (of 45, lacking 26B and 30) engr. plates, mostly folding or double-leaf. "The plates are of particular insterest and include many signed by Hogarth, which form part of his early work." (Blackmer). Lacking also 4 leaves subscribers' list. Added is the quite rare supplement (1732) in English and French with an account of La Motraye's travels in Eastern and Northern Europe with 7 (of 9) engr. plates amd maps (lacking an engraved and a half-title and 2 plates). Vol. 1 and 2 of important provenience: The family De Coucy became quite popular through "A Distant Mirror" by Barbara Tuchman. Tuchman tells the story of the 14th century along the biography of Enguerrand de Coucy VII. - A few tears to folding plates. 2 corners of main work restored, else a clean and broad-margined copy in contemp. calf, worn, rebacked. The supplementary vol. somewhat narrow-margined, slightly browned, inobtrusive water-staining to few quires, inscription cut out from title. This volume bound in contemp. calf, slighty rubbed. Together 3 vols.
