PERTUSIER (Charles). Promenades pittoresques dans Constantinople et sur les rives du Bosphore suivies d'une notice sur la Dalmatie. Paris, Nicolle, 1815; 3 vol. in-8 (201 x 123 mm), shagreened basane, smooth spines decorated with gilt latticework and fleurons (period bindings). First edition. A Franc-comtois, a youthful friend of Charles Nodier (with whom he founded Les Philadelphes) and an artillery officer, Pertusier served in Dalmatia and was attached to the French Embassy in Constantinople from 1811 to 1814. His "guide" is one of the best. The atlas, published two years later, is missing as usual. A very fine copy.
