Original copper-engraving (30 x 24 cm) on laid paper from Bruce's Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile (1790), "One of the great travel accounts of the eighteenth century" (DNB). In 1763, Bruce took on a post as British consul in Algiers, whence he travelled to Tunis, Tripoli, Cyprus, Crete and the Levant. While he was the…re he devoted himself to the study of the ancient remains in North Africa and the Middle East. In 1768, he embarked in an expedition to discover the source of the Nile, travelling from Alexandria, through the Red Sea, to Ethiopia, where he thought it was located. Though the source had already been described by Jesuits in the 17th century, Bruce was the first European to witness where the two main tributaries, the Blue Nile and the White Nile, meet. Bruce made a great impression during his visit to the Court of Negus in Gondar in Ethiopia, not least because of his large physique on account of which the locals are said to have felt great sympathy for the horse he rode. This account of his travels was not well received by a sceptical audience back home and he retired to his estate in Scotland where he died. The first four volumes of Bruce's account narrate his adventures in the years 1768 - 1773 and it was some of these stories, which he famously recounted in an interview with James Boswell upon his return, were not believed in Britain. The fifth volume, with its separate title, 'Select Specimens of Natural History', includes 43 handsome full-page engravings (each with its separate imprint) of the plants and animals he saw during his travels, including papyrus, the Binny fish and birds like the Abou Hannes.

Altkolorierter Kupferstich aus dem zweisprachigen Werk: Bilderbuch für Kinder (franz.: Portefeuille des Enfans) von Friedrich Johann Justin Bertuch (1747-1822), erschienen in 12 Bänden in Weimar zwischen 1792 und 1830. Die vorliegende Tafel erschien als No. 16. des 3. Bandes des Werkes. Da das Gesamtwerk inkl. der Illustrationen… sowohl in Erscheinungsreihenfolge als auch nach Sachgebieten angeordnet werden konnte, trägt die Tafel zugleich die Nummer LII der Rubrik: Vierfüßige Thiere. - Wir haben einige hundert Tafeln des Werkes vorrätig, sie sind sämtliche generell in sehr gutem Zustand. Dennoch können hin und wieder etwas Textabklatsch oder Bräunungen vorkommen - wo dies der Fall ist, sollte es in der Regel auf den Abbildungen, die wir zu allen Tafeln bereitstellen, erkennbar sein. Die oft sehr aufschlußreichen Tafelbeschreibungen (jeweils auf Deutsch und Französisch) werden im gedruckten Orginal mitgeliefert. Erste Ausgabe. - "Das "Bilderbuch für Kinder" wurde zwischen 1790 und 1830 in einer Auflage von 3000 Stück herausgegeben, es enthält insgesamt 1185 kolorierte Bildtafeln mit rund 6000 einzelnen Kupferstichen. Künstlerische Mitarbeiter für die zahlreichen Abbildungen fand Bertuch in der Fürstlichen freien Zeichenschule, an deren Gründung, im Jahr 1776 in Weimar, er selbst beteiligt gewesen war." (wikipedia, dt.) - ENGLISH: Copper engraving in original hand colour from the first edition of the bi-lingual work: Bilderbuch für Kinder (in French: Portefeuille des Enfans) by Johann Justin Bertuch (1747-1830), published in Weimar between 1792 and 1830 in 12 volumes, comprising a total of 1185 plates. The plate offered here is No. 16. from volume 3 of the work. Since the entire collection of illustrations published could also be sorted by subjects the plate also bears the additional number LII of the section: Foor-footed animals. - We offer some hundred plates from this work which usually are in very good to fine condition, however in some cases text offsetting or foxing applies and if that's the case it should easily be visible from the image we provide for each plate. Our offers include the corresponding original printed text pages bearing the description of the plate - please have in mind though that the description is held in German and French only.

Er närht sich von allerhand Pflanzen, Obst und Wurzeln, auch Baummoose, und wird außerordentlich fett. Sein Fleisch ist eßbar und wohlschmeckend. Er hat eine durchdringende pfeifende Stimme, und ist nicht wild oder bösartig; wehrt sich aber und ist bissig, wenn er gereizt wird.". Das Blatt gering fleckig, sonst guter Zustand.

It feeds on all kinds of plants, fruits, and roots, also tree mosses, and becomes extraordinarily fat. Its flesh is edible and tasty. It has a piercing whistling voice and is not wild or malicious; but it defends itself and is vicious when provoked.". The sheet is slightly stained, otherwise in good condition.
