188511485Paris, Librairie Garnier frères, sans date ( 1885 ) - Chromotypographie A. Lahure - E Kapp, imprimeur, 83 rue du bac. In-4 cartonnage éditeur, agrafé, à l'Italienne non paginé, d'environ 32 pages, au format 25,5 x 19 cm. Couverture illustrée. Dos rond, muet, toilé rouge. Plats insolés et présentant des frottis et tassements aux coins. Première page de garde avec plissures. Intérieur relativement assez frais avec des rousseurs et des brunissures éparses sur quelques pages. Pages Malgré que ce livre soit considéré comme une des toutes première bande dessinée de l'histoire et surtout comme un " Enfantina ", il ne faut surtout pas le prendre uniquement comme tel. Il s'adresse aussi aux adultes avec son coté caricature politique, car il est réalisé à la fin de la guerre franco-chinoise, et après le congrès de Berlin de 1878 où l'Europe se partagea l'Afrique. L'auteur, Eugène Le Mouël fut romancier, poète, dessinateur, ancien Hydropathe, vice président des Hirsutes et collaborateur du Chat Noir. Il a aussi créé de nombreux autres personnages illustrés, par exemple Teuf-teuf, enfant moderne, ou le sapeur Gruyer qui inspira Christophe . Rarissime édition originale, que l'on trouve toujours dans un état juste correct.

Gage's Book got from Mr. Asperne London April 15th 1805." Lada-Mocarski 29 note; Howes C-834; Sabin 17309; Streeter VI 3501; Cordier Bibliotheca Sinica pp. 2447-48. ◆Small chip to tail of spine corners a bit rubbed flyleaves somewhat foxed the usual minor foxing to plates and a bit of offsetting to adjacent pages otherwise A VERY FINE COPY OF AN ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE EDITION clean and fresh internally with vast margins and the binding firm lustrous and with only very minor wear to the joints.<br/> <br/> This is an extremely well-preserved copy in an elegant contemporary binding of the most sought-after edition of a key source on Russian exploration and that country's efforts to expand trade with China and Alaska. Eminent historian William Coxe 1747-1828 studied the voyages and exploration by Bering and others to the regions of Kamchatka the Aleutian Islands and Siberia to prepare this overview of the geography and cultures of the lands between Russia and North America and to analyze the economic potential of trade--particularly in furs--with the region. According to Sabin "Mr. Coxe's book contains many curious and important facts with respect to the various attempts of the Russians to open a communication to the New World." The 1780 first edition of this work covered Russian voyages of discovery between 1740 and 1769; the 1787 third edition added a supplement comparing these explorations to those of Captains Cook and Clerke. Our much-expanded fourth edition gives in the words of the Preface "a complete series of voyages from 1711 to 1792 comprising all that is known on the subject." Some of this supplementary information was gleaned from earlier accounts by German historians G. F. Muller and P. S. Pallas and some from Coxe's own travels in Russia. According to Lada-Mocarski Coxe "also succeeded in securing additional material: for instance the narrative and maps of Krenitzin and Levashev's 'secret' expedition the first official Russian government expedition since Bering's 2nd expedition of 1741. He was able to secure this particular information not widely known at the time even in Russia from Dr. Wm. Robertson who in turn obtained it through his friend Dr. Rogerson first physician to the Empress Catherine II. . . . In view of the above additions one should consider the fourth edition of 1803 as the most desirable." He concludes: "Coxe's work particularly the fourth edition is a result of contemporary and authoritative sources translated into English not to be overlooked by scholars and collectors alike." There are also distinct aesthetic advantages to the present Large Paper version over the octavo printing. Not only is the type beautifully re-set and laid out as well as surrounded by vast margins but as Streeter notes there are two charts here that are not included in the octavo issue of 1803. The original owner of this volume Marcus Gage is known to have assembled a substantial library of beautifully cared-for books on travel and discovery see for example "Exploration & Discovery 1576-1939 Books from the Library of Franklin Brooke-Hitching" passim. Gage notes that he got the book from "Mr. Asperne"—no doubt the London publisher and bookseller James Asperne 1757-1820. ABPC and RBH find just four other Large Paper copies at auction in the past 45 years two of which had condition issues. One could wait a considerable time to find a copy as attractive and desirable as the present one. Cadell and Davies unknown
