Royal octavo 9 3/4" x 7 1/2" bound in full leather with five raised bands and lettering in gilt and decorative vignettes. First edition.<br /><br />Philippe Avril was a Jesuit explorer of the Far East and professor of philosophy and mathematics at Paris when he was dispatched to the Jesuit missions of China. He was summoned by the Jesuit missions and sent as a Jesuit to the missions in China. Following the instructions of Ferdinand Verbiest another Jesuit then at Peking suggested that he attempted an overland journey which he ended up traveling for six years through Kurdistan Armenia Astrakhan Persia and other countries of eastern Asia arriving at Moscow. He now traveled to Grodno in Poland where he renewed an acquaintance with Count de Syri who had formerly befriended him at Astrakham. The count at the suggestion of Avril applied ot the French government for the appointment of ambassador from the King of France to the Emperor of China. He succeed in obtaining the appointment and it was arranged that Avril should accompany him. They set out to Moscow together. An accident detained Avril and the count arrived at Moscow days before his companion. On the arrival of Avril he received the intelligence that the Russian authorities and compelled the count to proceed and was refused permission to over take him. Avril proceeded to Warsaw and through the assistance of Prince Jablonowksi to reach Constantinople by way of Moldavia. Here he was seized with spitting of blood and he found himself compelled to relinquish his mission and returned to France. He landed at Toulon in 1690 and published an account of his travels. Avril's journal and writings provide a significant amount of useful material for modern historians and demographers.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Corners bumped and rubbed lacking 3E4 blank leaf between the end of the main text and start of the Table de Metiers occasional toning ink inscription to title spine ends and raised spine rubbed some spotting to leather else a good to very good copy.

Nineteenth century quarter maroon morocco maroon paper over boards; rubbed. Rubber-stamp of Abbe E. Emile Longin Beaujeu fl.1904; receipt of sale of this copy to Armand Pushman 1932 NYC. First edition. This work was first translated into English in 1693. "At this time a major preoccupation of the Catholic Church and its China mission was to discover a safe land route from Europe to Peking through central Asia. This was due to the large numbers of out-going clergy who perished tragically every year at sea." Ames & Love p. 202. "The last decade of the century saw the publication of the accounts of several overland travelers to China and their destinations of China's inner-Asian neighbors. The story of the Jesuit Philippe Avril's attempt to establish a route across Russia for the safe passage of missionaries to China appeared in 1692 and includes descriptions of both the routes from Moscow to China and the peoples on China's frontiers. Avril himself however did not travel beyond Moscow and his descriptions therefore are not the result of his own observations." Lach & Kley pp. 1685-1686. The same for Nicolaas Witsen. Avril Philippe a Jesuit born in France explored extensively throughout Asia and the Far East. He was a professor of mathematics and philosophy in Paris before he began his overland journey. He traveled for six years through Kurdistan Armenia Astrakhan Persia and other parts of the southeast. At one point he came to Moscow and was refused entry to Tatary. He was sent by the government to Poland via Istanbul and back to France. Apparently affected by exhaustion and disease he still undertook another voyage his last for the ship was lost at sea circa 1698. – Love Ronald S. "A Passage to China: A French Jesuit's Perceptions of Siberia in the 1680s." French Colonial History 3: p. 94 2003. Ames & Love offer: "Though obliged to leave Moscow Avril did not return to France with Louis Barnabe . . . Remaining instead at Warsaw the two Jesuits had entered in early March 1688 Avril attempted twice more to achieve his objective or reaching China by land – if not through Siberia then via Persia and Central Asia. Aided in part by the Polish monarch John Sobieski r.1674-1696 and his ambassador to Russia the French priest once again traveled to Moscow in late spring. Just two days after his arrival in the Muscovite capital however Avril was ordered summarily out of the country. Once again he appealed the command in vain. 'Russia intended to keep her trade with China a secret.' Nor did he have better luck later the same year 1688 when he and a fellow Jesuit Pere de Beauvillier tried going south to Constantinople instead and thence through Persia to Bokhara Samarkland and the Chinese frontier. Crossing secretly into Ottoman territory the two men were arrested as spies. After several weeks they secured their release and resumed their trek. But Avril whose health had been waning as a result of relentless exertions suddenly developed a hemorrhage. Ordered to abandon the search and return home by his superiors he reached France in autumn 1689." Ames & Love p. 219.

First edition; elephant folio; 80 plates including 70 lithographs 8 aquatints & 2 engravings; contemporary calf over blue paper boards red morocco label to upper cover vellum tips; spine rubbed corners worn; internally a fine clean uncut example.<br /> The scarce first edition of Forbin's Voyage with text and plates together of which Brunet says only 325 copies were printed.<br /><br />Forbin's was one of the first important French books to use lithography on a grand scale and the standard of production is equal to that of Napoleon's Description de l'Égypte. The plates are after drawings by Forbin Isabey Prevost Fragonard and Carle Vernet. The aquatinted plates are all after drawings by Forbin himself. Most of the plates illustrate views in Egypt and Syria including the famous view of Drovetti French consul in Egypt measuring a giant head. In 1816 Forbin replaced Denon as Director of Museums and in 1817 he undertook a year-long voyage to the Levant having been authorised to purchase antiquities for the Louvre. He travelled to Milos where his son-in-law had negotiated the purchase of the recently discovered Venus de Milo and from there to Athens Constantinople Asia Minor Syria and Palestine.

During the Bourbon restauration Forbin served as general director of the Louvre Museum and other museums of France.Inspired by the travels of François-René de Chateaubriand Forbin sailed out from Toulon on 22 August 1817 to tour the eastern Mediterranean. Like Chateaubriand Forbin travelled on his own initiative without an order from the French government; however since the aim of his journey was to discover Greek and Roman antiquities and to draw landscapes of the places he would visit he was able to travel on the ships of the French fleet of the Levant Flotte du Levant.In his venture Forbin was accompanied by painters Pierre Prevost and Léon Matthieu Cochereau also a pupil of David and a nephew of Prévost as well as architect Jean-Nicolas Huyot. Abbé de Forbin-Janson later bishop of Nancy was also a member of the company for the first part of the journey while Huyot had to retire when he fractured his leg on Milos island. In addition twenty-four year old Cochereau died of dysentery off the coast of Cythera and was replaced by Linant de Bellefonds who at the time was a mate on "Cleopatra" the mission's ship. De Bellefonds resigned from his position on the ship and participated in the expedition as a painter and chartographer. When the expedition ended in December of 1817 de Bellefonds decided to stay on in Egypt and explored its territory as member of several missions.

Prevost drew panoramic views of Jerusalem and Athens but succumbed to pneumonia in 1823 without completing his panorama of Constantinople.The descriptions of Forbin show him to be a mature observer in possession of deep humanistic culture.

His style sometimes resembles a clumsy imitation of Chateaubriand's "Journey to the Holy Land" 1806. However as Forbin was not a professional author but a painter his descriptions are way more exact than those of Chateaubriand.Forbin also travelled to Sicily in 1820 and published his travel account as he had done with his expedition of 1817.
