With 34 full-page lithographed views and costume plates 12 hand-coloured full-page engraved plates a double-page hand-coloured aquatint 7 engraved maps 1 folding 6 double-page 2 double-page plates and few steel-engraved illustrations in the text. 2 text volumes 4to and 1 atlas volume folio: 545 x 350 mm. First and only edition of a richly illustrated work on the French circumnavigation of the world under command of Baron de Bougainville 1781-1846 son of the great explorer Louis de Bougainville. The goal of the voyage was to extend France's influence in Indochina. However Bougainville also visited Pondicherry Manila Macao Surabaya Sydney Port Jackson Valparaiso and Rio de Janeiro. He brought back a collection of natural history specimens from his expedition which was described as one of the most precious and important that had been seen in France.After distinguished service in the Napoleonic Wars Bougainville was promoted to post-captain and given command of the Thétis. She was only the second French frigate to be commissioned for a circumnavigation the first having been his father's vessel the Boudeuse. The voyage took twenty-eight months and the official account was published after a delay of some eleven years. The major purpose of the expedition was political and strategic and Bougainville's first report of 1826 gave the French government a survey of colonial possessions in Asia and of the military strength of Manila as well as accounts of Singapore the Australian colonies and Spanish America. Bougainville's advice was taken into account in the development of French strategy and diplomacy in the Pacific during the 19th century. He also spent several months in and around Sydney where he collected considerable ornithological material. This ultimately resulted in three drawings by Bessa of four species of birds including superb illustrations of the male and female Gang-gang or red-crested parrot.The text contains an account of the voyage. The gorgeously coloured engraved plates show plants and animals including a curious case of Siamese twins a bat an Australian kangaroo a chameleon a "Gymnodactile Phyllure" a fine plate with butterflies and two plates of indigenous plants.

Varying degrees of foxing to atlas plates. Very good. First edition of the official record of Bougainville's voyage around the world. Hyacinthe de Bougainville son of Louis de Bougainville sailed as an ensign at the age of eighteen on the Baudin voyage. His own expedition of 1826 has continued to be overshadowed by such circumnavigators as Dumont d'Urville. After distinguished service in the Napoleonic Wars Bougainville was promoted to post-captain and given command of the Thétis. She was only the second French frigate to be commissioned for a circumnavigation the first having been his father's vessel the Boudeuse. <br> <br> The voyage took twenty-eight months visiting Pondicherry Manila Macao Surabaya Sydney a stay of almost three months Valparaiso and Rio among other places. Bougainville returned to France with a fine collection of natural history specimens and the official account of the voyage was handsomely published after a delay of some eleven years. The major purpose of the expedition was political and strategic and Bougainville's first report of 1826 gave the French government a survey of colonial possessions in Asia and of the military strength of Manila as well as accounts of Singapore the Australian colonies and Spanish America. He spent several months in and around Sydney where he collected considerable ornithological material. This ultimately resulted in three drawings by Bessa of four species of birds including superb illustrations of the male and female Gang-gang or red-crested parrot. <br> <br> From here both ships crossed to Valparaiso where la Touanne commenced his overland journey to rejoin the expedition at Rio. The account of this journey takes up much of the second volume together with René Primevère Lesson's account of the natural history. Bougainville's advice was taken into account in the development of French strategy and diplomacy in the Pacific during the 19th century. <br> <br> The rare atlas volume includes thirty-four lithographed views and portraits after Adam Sabatier and others from sketches by de la Touanne printed by Bernard & Frey; twelve handcolored engraved natural history plates after Bessa and Pretre by Coutant Legrand Oudet Dumenil and Massard; an excellent double-page handcolored aquatint of various native vessels; a folding engraved world map; two double-page coastal profiles and six double-page engraved maps and charts by Tardieu after de la Touanne. <br> <br> A handsome copy of a historically underappreciated circumnavigation.

1982LR45-R-R19Table ronde organisée par M. Mollat et Tallemite, Paris, 8 et 9 décembre 1978. Broché, couverture illustrée, bon état (coins un peu émoussés), intérieur très frais, Cahier d'illustrations, 189 p. Le volume contient les communications d'une Table Ronde organisée par le LA 211 d'Histoire Maritime pour faire suite à la parution dans la Collection « Voyages et Découvertes » des journaux de voyage de Bougainville et de ses compagnons autour du monde de 1766 à 1769, par les soins d'E. Taillemite. L'objet de cette Table Ronde était de se servir de ce récit de voyage pour considérer l'ensemble de l'exploration océanique du XVIIIe siècle. Après une présentation du volume consacré à Bougainville, il convenait de dégager le contexte d'ensemble des explorations, de les situer cartographiquement et d'y insérer le voyage de Bougainville. L'ouvrage suit pas à pas le déroulement des travaux de la Table Ronde sur le plan géographique, puis dans les principaux secteurs où l'exploration affrontait des problèmes : astronomie nautique, botanique et biologie, climatologie, problèmes sanitaires, contacts avec les insulaires. Par une voie ascendante, la recherche débouchait logiquement dans le Monde des Lumières, en plein affrontement de l'utopie rêvée et de la réalité vécue. La participation d'experts et la hauteur de leurs vues sur un thème important font de l'ouvrage un instrument de progrès dans l'histoire de la connaissance du monde.
