Description

Fine engraved view of Tripoli, showing the French bombardment in June 1685.

In the second half of the 17th Century, Tripoli became one of the base locations for the Barbary Pirates. Several European expeditions against this stronghold were undertaken, including one by John Narborough in 1675.

The present view illustrates the French bombardment of Tripoli from June 22 to June 24, 1685 under teh command of Vice-Admiral D'Estrees. After three days of bombardment, the locals agreed to a peace which involved the payment of 500,000 livres for damages caused by the pirates, release of all French slaves and certain political concessions.

Condition Description
Two minor worm holes, expertly repaired.

Partie de la Barbarie, ou est le Royaume d'Alger. . . 1655

A nice example of Sanson's 1655 double-page engraved map of the Algerian coast of North Africa. The map shows the Barbary Coast divided a large number of states extending inland from the Mediterranean to the southern Atlas Mountains. This gives way to an area labeled as part of Biledulgerid (the country of dates). Maps of this period typically name the area as such, though there are indications that Bildulgerid was, in fact, closer to Tripoli. These many states were often at war during this period, and piracy was common in the waters off of this area.
