Perse Moderne. Pl. LVII.
Dessiné et lithographié par Eugène Flandin. Lith. de Thierry frères, Cité Bergère, N.º 1. à Paris.
Gide Editeur [n.d., 1851].
Tinted lithograph. Printed area 300 x 460mm (11¾ x 18"), with large margins. Small split in sky repaired, faint mount burn.
The courtyard of a palace in Isfahan with a charbagh, a quadrilateral garden with a layout of four gardens traditionally separated by waterways, representing the four gardens and four rivers of Paradise. Eugène Flandin (1809-1876) travelled through Persia 1839-41 with the architect Pascal Coste, as part of a government sponsored archaeological mission, for which he received the Légion d'Honneur. He drew both the ancient monuments and the Moslem architecture of Persia, making his 'Voyage en Perse' is an imporant account of Persia during the mid-C19th, comparable to David Roberts's work in the Holy Land & Egypt. A scarce work.
