Fine copy in a later full-calf binding with red spine label. Jean Bernard Bossu was a French naturalist who traveled widely in the then-vast territory of Louisiana during several trips made between 1751 and 1772. According to Howgego B138 "Bossu went out to Louisiana in 1850 as a captain of the marines and from 1751 was stationed in the Illinois country where he was adopted by the Quapaw Indians. He returned to France for health reasons in 1757 and in 1758 sailed for Mobile where he was befriended by the Alibamu Indians. The second journey was made in 1758-62 and the last in 1771-72. His journeys included a number of trips into the interior during which he made a study of several tribes of Indians. Bossu's Nouveaux Voyages aux Indes Occidentales appeared in three editions each enlarged to take account of this latest travels. His second narrative published in 1768 comprises a series of twenty-one letters.describing his life in the travels in Louisiana country from 1751-1762." Streeter 1518: "Bossu wrote well and his letters not only give an interesting picture of life and travels in the Mississippi Valley and the Mobile country to the east at the beginning of the second half of the eighteenth century but incorporated also are many sketches of events of the preceding years. Bossu came to New Orleans only thirty-three years or so after its founding and only eighty years after La Salle's journey down the Mississippi and first and second hand recollections were still fresh."

Gilpin an educator and writer on art "travelled widely in Britain with his notebook and sketching materials in order to identify locations which offered that particular kind of beauty in landscape 'which is agreeable in a picture'. Picturesque tourism constituted 'a new object of pursuit' as he wrote in the first of these books Observations on the River Wye 1782: the practice recommended was 'that of not merely describing; but of adapting the description of natural scenery to the principles of artificial landscape'. Further picturesque books with aquatint reproductions of Gilpin's pen-and-wash drawings included Observations on Cumberland and Westmorland 1786 the Scottish highlands 1789 south-west England and the Isle of Wight 1798 and the eastern counties of England and north Wales 1809" ODNB.
