183p., illus. Landmark Books 24 Hardcover good condition in aqua cloth, lacking front free endpaper
This is a hardcover copy in a very nice pink dust jacket, that is not price-clipped ($5.00) that is also printed with a woodcut illustration of the fabled "Oak Alley". The book itself is in very good condition, as the light brown cloth covers are very clean and unmarked, even the tipped-on title on pink paper (the same paper as the jacket) looks as fresh as the day it was published. Inside the book there is some offsetting on the printed pink paper paste-down, some foxing to about 10 pages at the beginning and 15 pages or so at the end, otherwise very nice. The dust jacket is almost all there: the back panel is fine, the front panel and spine are present, but there is a small piece missing from the top of the spine which just extends onto the edge of the front panel, not affecting the image or text on the front cover. 10" high X 7 1/2" wide, 162 pages. Text by Natalie Scott. Introduction by N.C.Curtis. About 37 wonderful woodcut illustrations of Louisiana plantation houses by William Spratling, as well as headpiece and tailpiece decorations and other small vignettes for each of the 8 chapters. Index of old houses mentioned or illustrated in the text lists 73 properties. All in all, a beautiful copy in the rare dust jacket. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
N°3, de juillet-septembre 1999, de cette revue trimestrielle fondée et dirigée par Jean Cuisenier: le musée ethnographique dans les anciennes colonies "s'inscrit désormais dans le registre de la construction d'une mémoire et d'une identité": dans les Dom-Tom comme dans nombre de jeunes Etats issus de la décolonisation, les musées sont "à la fois des points d'ancrage d'une affirmation identitaire et des instruments de légitimation politique contribuant à construire, à valider ou à réfuter les représentations mobilisées par différents groupes en quête d'une histoire et d'un territoire" (4è de couverture); articles sur l'Afrique tropicale, le Gabon, l'Indonésie, la Réunion, les Antilles, le Vénézuela, le Québec, la Louisiane, le Canada, la Nouvelle-Calédonie, la Hongrie; et divers.

Full Title: VOYAGES DANS L'INTERIEUR DE LA LOUISIANE, de la Floride Occidentale, et dans les Isles de la Martinique et de Saint-Domingue, Pendant les annees 1802, 1803, 1804, 1805 et 1806 ; Contenant de Nouvelles Observations sur l'Histoire Naturelle, la Geographie, les Moeurs, l'Agriculture, le Commerce, l'Industrie et les Maladies de ces Contrees, particulierement sur la Fievre Jaune, et les Moyens de la prevenir. En outre, contenant ce qui s'est passe de plus interesssant, relativement a l'Etablissement des Anglo-Americains a la Louisiane. Suivis de la Flore Louisianaise. This the third volume deals mainly with Louisiana rather than the West Indies. It is especially important for its comments on natural history and "La Flore Louisianaise" later translated into English by C. S. Rafinesque and published in New York in 1817. In 1807, C. C. Robin published in French an account of his travels. Rafinesque was a controversial figure and his revision was not entirely satisfactory. He not only translated, but abridged and augmented Robin's flora quite extensively. The result being a systematic catalogue enumerating over 525 species. Rafinesque claimed 30 genera and 196 species as new to science. Plant taxonomists since then have had extreme difficulty in interpreting the status of these so-designated new taxa, because of the often cryptic descriptions Rafinesque provided and the fact that no specimens (or types) that Robin might have obtained are known to exist.
