Quarto, with eight engraved plates; bound in later period-style full calf, spine gilt with raised bands. Finely illustrated with rich, dark engravings, this was the only separate appearance and the only illustrated edition of Beaulieu's account of his travels for the fledgling French "Compagnie des Indes Orientales". Beaulieu was a French navigator and coloniser who was appointed in 1619 to command the so-called "Fleet of Montmorency". The three ships sailed to Madagascar and Banda Aceh via the Cape of Good Hope, but the voyage was not a success, with two of the ships captured by the Dutch, keen to preserve the rights of the VOC. Undaunted, Beaulieu still petitioned for Madagascar to become a waypoint for voyages to the East Indies, but Richelieu prevaricated, fearing provoking the Dutch. Despite Beaulieu's repeated encouragement, over the following decades Madagascar saw only desultory settlement, much of it from privateers. It was only in 1665 - a few years before the publication of this account - that the first voyage of the Compagnie des Indes Orientales carried settlers to the island; suffering under impossibly harsh conditions, the settlement petered out soon after. These French incursions were not much liked by the Dutch, and so it is perhaps not surprising that this Dutch translation focuses on the mishaps and disasters that plagued Beaulieu's voyage (hence rampspoedige, or "catastrophic", in the title). Designed for the popular market, its Amsterdam publishers Jan Rieuwertsz and Pieter Arentsz produced numerous VOC publications and other voyage accounts. As is often the case with Dutch editions of the seventeenth century, this is a beautifully illustrated book (at a time when most works in English and French often presented rather bare text). Three of the plates are wonderful depictions of ships in distress at sea, including an extraordinary image of a French ship on fire at night. Perhaps the most striking plate, however, is the scene of the French vessels' arrival in the Bay of St Augustin, showing the mariners hastening ashore to trade beads for livestock. This is the best early edition of Beaulieu's voyage, only preceded by the chapter in the second volume of Thévenot's Relation de divers voyages curieux (1664). The only earlier account of the voyage of the Fleet of Montmorency appears to be the exceptionally rare Voyage faict aux Indes Orientalles by Jean Le Telier, one of Beaulieu's fellow captains. . Provenance: St Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia (donated by one Dr Gilbert, as shown by manuscript note and library stamp on title-page). Title-page a little darkened at margins; a very good copy.
