Descrizione

2 pp. on a folded sheet of 4 pp., with address on verso (traces of sealing wax, small piece of paper missing). Frascati, 1833. Interesting letter by the diplomate and archaeologist Bunsen to Ernst Zacharias Platner (1773-1855), painter and art historian, who had settled in Rome in 1800. In 1823, Platner was appointed consul to the Saxon Royal Court in Rome. Bunsen was assistant to Barthold Georg Niebuhr, ambassador in Rome, where he got interested in the study of hieroglyphs by Champollion; he later became Niebuhr's successor as Prussian ambassador. They are both known for their jointly published "Beschreibung der Stadt Rom", 1840-43. After some personal remarks, Bunsen writes: "Die Ereignisse in der Schweiz sind höchst beklagenswert, da in Portugal ein neuer Beweis, wie es in diesen Ländern gar kein eigentliches Volk und Volkspartei mehr gibt, denn es ist keine Maus für D. Miguel aufgestanden, und D. Pedro ist doch auch sicher nicht beliebt. Es ist alles Soldatenrevolution, eine vortreffliche Grundlage der Freiheit". AUTOGRAPHS ; AUTOGRAPHEN, MANUSKRIPTE ;
