    Francis B. Spilsbury, Picturesque Scenery in the Holy Land and Syria – Palestine during the Campaign against Napoleon's Army – Hand-Colored Aquatints – Aquatint Depicting Ottoman Governor Jazzar Pasha with his Advisor, Haim Farhi

    Est: -

    Picturesque scenery in the Holy Land and Syria, delineated during the campaigns of 1799 and 1800, by F. B. Spilsbury. London: printed by Howlett and Brimmer for G. S. Tregear, 1823. English. A work by Francis Brockell Spilsbury, surgeon on board HMS Le Tigre, commanded by the British Admiral Sir William Sidney Smith, during Napoleon's siege of Acre (March-May 1799). Illustrated with 19 hand-colored aquatint plates after sketches by Spilsbury. The plates depict views in Palestine and the vicinity and various local figures: view of Acre and HMS Le Tigre, a market in acre, a dance in Jenin, Mount Tabor, Joseph's Pit, the Sea of Galilee, Daughters of Jacob Bridge, views of Caesarea, Tripoli, Sidon an Tyre from the sea, and more. The frontispiece aquatint depicts a meeting in the Grand Vizier's tent; portrayed among the participants are Admiral William Sidney Smith and Spilsbury himself. One of the aquatints depicts the Acre-based Ottoman governor Ahmad Pasha al-Jazzar condemning a criminal. He holds prayer beads and a whip; his axe lies next to him. To his right stands a tall man in a red robe, wearing an eye patch. This is Ahmad Pasha al-Jazzar's advisor, the Jew Haim Farhi. Once, in a fit of rage, the pasha had Farhi's eye gouged out, cut off the tip of his nose, and severed his left ear (for further information on Farhi, see: Kedem catalog no. 85, lot 92). VIII, 70 pp. + [19] plates. 28 cm. Good condition. Stains (most plates clean). Pencil notation and small open tear to front endpaper. Half leather binding, slightly worn and damaged (loose). Title on leather label mounted to front board. Label (book's title and price) to inside front board. Open tear to spine.
