Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Lurid prison scenes & cannibalism in Cayenne. 2 volumes in one. 8vo. xlvii + [48-60] + 312p; [1]f + 404p. With 2 folding engraved plates, each serving as a frontispiece. Old marbled half sheep; untrimmed. First edition of this colourful autobiographical account of the author's deportation to the penal colony of Cayenne in 1797, his enforced stay there until 1801, and his return journey via New York of which he gives an interesting description (II: pp356-365). Pitou writes about the geography and products of Cayenne (sugar & indigo), and about conditions in the interior of the country inhabited by cannibal tribes. He gives an emotional picture of the sufferings of the convicts with anecdotal details, and provides a list of casualties on pp115-131 (vol. II) in each case stating the cause of death. The evocative frontispiece folding plates by Binet represent a cross-section of the prison ship 'La Decade', and a lurid burial scene at the prison cemetery in the Konanama desert, French Guyana, where deportee corpses are part-buried by negroes, whilst prison officers dance with negresses. Although the author may have exaggerated the excesses of his gaolers, there is no evidence to suggest that his narrative is largely fictitious as alleged by Sabin. Pitou, originally a priest, became a royalist publicist and street singer during the Revolution; he was deported for chanting satirical rhymes, and finally pardoned by Napoleon. His adventures inspired a novel by Victor Hugo entitled Ange Pitou. Some light foxing at beginning and end of volume, old collector's stamp in tailend blank corner of both titles, blank corner of half-title repaired, otherwise a tall, untrimmed copy in its original state.

Very good. Light toning along original centerfold. Light wear along original fold lines. Verso repair to minor fold separation. Blank on verso. Size 14.25 x 16.25 Inches. This is a 1767 Isaak Tirion map of Cayenne, French Guiana in South America. The map depicts the region along the northeastern coast of South America from the Kourou River past the city of Cayenne to the Kaw (Cau) River. The city of Cayenne is located on the coast near the mouth of the river known by the same name. A fairly detailed map of the region, numerous locations are identified by single letters, which are explained in a key situated in the lower right corner. Per the key, a location identified by an 'S' is a sugar works or mill, a 'K' indicates a coffee works or mill (most likely a plantation), an 'R' labels indigo plantations, the letter 'C' illustrates the locations of native villages, and the letter 'B' notes a farmstead. An inset map, entitled Platte Grond van de Stad en 't Kasteel van Cayenne , located in the upper-right corner, depicts the plan of the city. The cathedral, parade ground, Jesuit college, hospital, and the fortress are all illustrated and labeled. The city's walls hint at its violent history that had only recently been ended. The city of Cayenne is located on the coast near the mouth of the river known by the same name. Indicated by a sketch of the city's walls, Cayenne was then a thriving city in the French empire. Over the course of the preceding century, the city had changed hands several times between the French, English, and Portuguese before the French established permanent control of the colony in 1763. Then King Louis XV sent thousands of settlers to Guiana, but only a few hundred survived the first year. The tropical diseases and natives hostile to this invasion were the reality instead of the storied gold and easy fortunes. This map was created by Isaak Tirion and published in 1767.
