Ajouter au panier(13 x 21 inches). 24 hand-coloured aquatint plates by G. Hunt (11), H. Pyall (10), T. Fielding (2), and Reeve jnr (1) after Moore (18), F. Marryat (5), and Captn. Thornton (1). 2 of the plates marked 'proof' in lower right margin. Bound without title or text. Half near period morocco over printed cloth boards lettered 'Illustrat…ions of the Burmese War' An important and beautiful visual record of the Burmese countryside and scenery, and of the war between the Burmese and British in 1824 to 1826. Following Burmese incursions into the British held territory in 1821-1823 (including the successful invasion of Assam,) the Governor-General, Lord Amherst, declared war on Burma on February 24, 1824.The British were successful in expelling the Burmese from Assam, but Bandula, the most able of the Burmese generals, repelled a British detachment at Ramu on the Chittagong frontier. In reply, the British sent an expedition of 11,000 men under Major-General Archibald Campbell and ships under Captain Frederick Marryat to attack Rangoon by sea. The expedition resulted in the capture of Rangoon on May 11, 1824, with the Burmese forces fleeing into the jungles of Pegu. Meanwhile, Bandula had been recalled and arrived at Rangoon on December 1 with 60,000 men. He was, however, defeated on December 15 and then retreated to Donabew, where, after a brave defence, he was killed in April 1825. On April 25, Campbell captured Prome, the capital of Lower Burma. The fighting continued spasmodically throughout the rest of 1825 and into 1826, until a peace treaty was signed on February 24. Joseph Moore, a Lieutenant in the 89th Regiment, includes images that begin with the departure of Campbell's invasion force and conclude in July 1824. They are a finely balanced mixture of eye-witness battle scenes with a number of very fine views of countryside and buildings in and around Rangoon. Frederick Marryat's envolvment in the conflict began in March 1823 when he 'commissioned the Larne for service in the East Indies, where he arrived in time to take an active part in the first Burmese war. From May to September 1824 he was senior naval officer at Rangoon, and was officially thanked for his able, gallant, and zealous co-operation with the troops. The very sickly state of the ship obliged him to go to Penang, but by the end of December he was back at Rangoon, and in February 1825 he had the naval command of an expedition up the Bassein river, which occupied Bassein and seized the Burmese magazines. [It was during this period that he made the sketches worked up into the plates in the second part of the present work].' (DNB). Abbey Travel 404; Brunet III, 1880; Tooley 334; Bobins 299; Sadleir 1610, 1610a. Two series in one volume. Oblong folio.

Oblong folio 13x21 inches- half near period morocco over printed cloth boards lettered 'Illustrations of the Burmese War'. 24 FINE HAND-COLOURED AQUATINT PLATES by G. Hunt, H. Pyall, T. Fielding, and Reeve jnr., after J. Moore, F. Marryat, and Captain Thornton. Plates numbered 1-18 and 1-6 complete but on…ly the plates - bound without text or the titles. Corresponds to the second issue described in the extensive notes in the bibliography Abbey Travel 404. Two plates marked 'Proof' and the word Adjacent altered on plate 16. Condition, upper hinge repaired, plates mounted on onglets, occasional minor marginal splits and some, mostly marginal spotting. The present series of images begins in May 1824, with the first plate showing British vessels preparing to set sail from the Harbour of Port Cornwallis on the Island of Andaman. This is followed by the British landing at Rangoon, the storming of various stockades and forts around the city, the capture of a Burman gilt war boat, and naval battles involving dozens of ships. Interspersed with these military spectacles are more traditional scenic views of the country's landscape and pagodas especially the Shwedagon Pagoda (called the Great Dagon Pagoda), the most sacred Buddhist site in the country and one of the first places occupied by the British when they arrived. The war 1824-1826 was basically over the control of north east India.

Smooth spine decoratively ruled in gilt, yellow coated endpapers, speckled edges. A superb copy with wonderful hand coloring. A landmark visual record of the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824-26), this rare series of aquatint plates-drawn on the spot by Captain Joseph Moore-offers the most vivid and accurate depictions of the British incursion into Rangoon and its environs. By the early 19th century, the British had consolidated control over much of India, and tensions escalated following Burmese encroachments on the Company's northeastern frontier. In February 1824, the East India Company declared war, initiating a massive amphibious expedition that resulted in the largely unopposed capture of Rangoon. Although the city had been abandoned, fierce resistance and endemic disease led to staggering casualties on both sides-over 40,000 among British and Indian troops alone, with even greater losses suffered by the Burmese. The war culminated in a decisive British victory, leading to the cession of territory and the imposition of a heavy indemnity-an outcome that laid the groundwork for the full annexation of Burma by 1889. Moore's plates begin in May 1824, with British vessels preparing to depart from Port Cornwallis, Andaman Islands. Subsequent views document the landing at Rangoon, the assault on Burmese stockades and fortifications, riverine engagements, and the capture of a gilt Burmese war-boat. Interspersed among the military scenes are topographical depictions of Burmese landscapes and cultural landmarks, most notably the Shwedagon Pagoda (referred to here as the "Great Dagon Pagoda"), one of the most sacred sites in Burmese Buddhism. There is bibliographical discussion regarding the presence of the word Proof on some plates: Sadleir distinguishes first and second issues of the 1825 edition on this basis; however, Abbey (Travel, no. 404) contends that these differences represent states, not issue points, and likely do not indicate chronological priority. A visually powerful and historically significant work, Moore's Views in the Burman Empire remains the most important pictorial documentation of the First Burmese War and early British military involvement in Southeast Asia. Abbey, Travel, 404; Bobins I, 299; Sadleir 1610; Tooley 334.
