Peter Lang Verlag. 1999. gr. 8°. 428 (4) Seiten. Originaleinband Rund 180 Jahre nachdem der deutsch-russische Maler Ludwig York Choris sein Journal über die zweite russische Weltumsegelung (1815-1818) verfasste, kann der Leser die Reise auf der Brig Rurik (Kapitän Otto von Kotzebue) mitmachen. Mit der Begeisterung der Jugend sch…ildert der grosse Künstler die Höhen und auch die Tiefen einer der letzten Entdeckungsreisen zur See. Dabei legt er Gewicht auf Hawai'i und andere Inseln der Südsee, wobei aber auch Brasilien, Chile, die Beringstrasse, Kalifornien, die Philippinen und Südafrika nicht zu kurz kommen. Interessant sind seine ethnologischen und künstlerischen Beobachtungen, wie auch Schilderungen von Ereignissen an Bord, die im offiziellen Expeditionsbericht nicht zu finden sind. Das Journal wurde von Donald Angus, einem in Honolulu wohnhaften Kunstsammler, in einer Bibliothek in Paris wiederentdeckt und stellt einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Ethnologie, Kunstwissenschaft und Geschichte des früheren neunzehnten Jahrhunderts dar. - Sehr Gutes Exemplar.

One of the most beautiful of all Pacific voyage plate books, and one of the rarest. Often, there is considerable foxing to the text leaves and browning to the plates, but there is almost no evidence of this in the present copy, which is in a superb contemporary Russian binding. Unsigned, it is in the style of lavish French bindi…ngs of the 19th century, and is the work of an unknown Russian binder of considerable skill.Choris, a Russian of German stock, was only 20 when he was appointed as draughtsman on the Kotzebue expedition of 1815-1818. This, his great work, was first issued in 22 parts between 1820 and 1822, most of the views do not appear in the later official accounts of the expedition published in Germany and Russia. The many beautiful plates include views and scenes of native life, artefacts, plants, shells and animals. They show California (several views of San Francisco), Hawaii (including the first view of Honolulu), Alaska, and various parts of Micronesia.Three issues of the plates were published. (1) Without any colouring, (2) with 25 natural history plates coloured (as here), and (3) with all plates coloured. Moreover, the book itself seems to exits in two issues, the earlier (as here) with an 1820 title page as well as another dated 1822, and the later issue with only an 1822 title page. A number of plates were later reworked by Choris and exist in variant states. The present copy appears to consist entirely of first states, and we are certain that the plate of the dancing women in Hawaii (plate XVI) is in its first state, identified by Lada-Mocarski with the plain back background.The list of subscribers accounts for only 188 copies, including the Emperor of Russia, and the King of France. 57 copies were made for subscribers in Russia, including 10 for the Emperor and 20 for Prince Gallitzin, one of the emperor's ministers. The lavish binding indicates that this copy may have been for presentation purposes and thus may well been one of these 30 "official" copies.The most beautiful book on the north Pacific, this has more early views of Hawaii, Alaska, and California than any other. It is "one of the valuable and fundamental works on Alaska, California, and the Hawaiian Islands"(Lada-Mocarskia) and "one of the most beautiful books of travel in existence" (Hill).With the book plate of Frederick E. Ellis, Shaw Island on the front pastedown, the binding shows slight signs of wear, mainly around the hinges, some occasional slight browning and foxing. Otherwise in very good condition. A remarkable work on the Pacific with beautiful plates, in a magnificent Russian binding.l Cowan, I, 47; Forbes, Hawaiian National Bibliography, 541; Forbes, Treasures, 29; Hawaii One Hundred, 27; Hill 290; Lada-Mocarski 84; Nissen, ZBI, 881; Sabin 12884; Soliday I, 592a (extremely rare); Streeter 2461; Wickersham 6676. Contemporary elaborately decorated Russia leather(?) binding, ornately gold- and blind-tooled decorated boards with a gold- and blind-tooled green straight-grained morocco panel, with dark-blue/black morocco inlays on the gold-tooled spine, gold-tooled board edges and turn-ins, gilt edges, blue marbled endpapers, the blank free endpapers with a Russian watermark dated 1824. With a lithographed portrait of Count Romanzoff as a frontispiece and 104 lithographed plates, including 25 natural history plates in fine contemporary hand-colouring. Further with 1 folding map and 2 plans.

First edition, and one of only 50 large paper copies, of a remarkable collection with 24 beautifully hand-coloured views of locations and people in South America and the Pacific islands, made by Louis Choris (1795-1828) during his voyage round the world. Choris published the majority of his drawings in his 1821-1822 account of t…he trip, Voyage pittoresque autour du monde. However, the present work, originally published in six issues of four plates each, reproduces the drawings not included in the larger work. The lithographs in the present work show views of Brazil, Chile, Hawaii, Easter Island, and other islands in Polynesia and Micronesia.In 1815 Choris joined Otto von Kotzebue's (1787-1846) expedition aboard Le Rurik as the official artist. This three-year voyage was the first Russian circumnavigation devoted exclusively to scientific purposes. Choris made many drawings, and after his return in 1819 he settled in Paris where he was greatly encouraged to publish his work, since many of the drawings were portraits of people never seen before. In 1822 he published these drawings in his well-known Voyage pittoresque autour du monde, edited by Georges Cuvier. But when he later found another 24 interesting drawings, he decided to publish them in the present work, intended as an appendix to the Voyage pittoresque. He dedicated the work to the famous Alexander von Humboldt, and added extensive commentaries and explanations to the plates. Choris's work is original and the lithographs are faithful representations of his original drawings. His sketches show us views from the traditional ways of life from the period when the feudal order was still in full force. The Hawaiian natives admired Choris's skills of rapidly drawing portraits with extraordinary likenesses. Choris also was - as becomes apparent from his art - very curious about scenes of daily life. He observed the way houses and temples were constructed, plant life, etc. Choris's illustrated works are essential for an understanding of Hawaii before its traditional social and religious systems broke down.Lada-Mocarski, repeating Sabin and Graesse, states that there were "50 copies on large paper, with color plates" and adds that the "copy described in this bibliography belongs to the last variant". Unfortunately, he gives no sizes of regular copies, but since our copy is several centimetres larger than the one described by him ("40.5 x 27.2 cm"), it would certainly qualify as a large paper copy.The edges and corners of the boards are scuffed and the front and back board are lightly scraped. The work is somewhat foxed throughout, the edges of the leaves are somewhat frayed, lacking the printed dedication to the Russian emperor. Otherwise in good condition.l Borba de Moraes I, p. 180-1; Forbes, Hawaiian National Bibliography, 632; Lada-Mocarski 90; O'Reilly & Reitman 786; Sabin 12885; cf. Forbes, Encounters with paradise, p. 23-4. Contemporary blind-tooled quarter brown goat leather, with the title and author lettered in gold on the spine, brown marbled paper sides, marbled end papers. With 24 hand-coloured, full-page, numbered lithographic plates. Pages: [6], 32 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First. THE DECKER-STREETER COPY, WITH ORIGINAL COLOR IN FULL. Voyage: Paris: Firmin Didot, [1820-]1822[-1823?]. First edition. Vues: Paris: Paul Renouard, 1826[1827]. First edition. Folio (17" x 10 5/16", 433mm x 262mm). [Full collation available.] In toto 130 lithographed plates (of which 128 are…hand-colored) and a folding engraved map. Bound in contemporary grey marbled boards backed in red sheep (re-backed, with the original back-strip laid down). On the spine, seven panels. Author and titles gilt to the second panel. Pale green end-papers. Top and bottom edges of the text-block untrimmed. Re-backed, with the original back-strip laid down. Rubbed, with patches of wear at the edges. Fore-corners bumped, with some splitting. Mildly foxed and tanned throughout (with moderate patches). Lacking the list of subscribers and the directions to the binder, but with the uncommon second dedication in the Vues. Pll. IX and XIX of the Vues shaved at the bottom, just touching the captions. Tears and creases to the tissue-guards (pll. XVI and XXII in the Vues without). Graphite marginalia to pl. XX of the Vues. Bookplate of Frank S. Streeter to the front paste-down. Louis Choris (Loggin or Ludwig, 1795-1828; the "Ch" fricative as in Bach) was born in Ukraine to German parents; his father taught at the newly-established Kharkiv University. After his parents died during his youth, the drawing teacher at the university fostered him and eventually brought him to Saint Petersburg. Trained in natural history painting in particular, Choris won the 1815 competition to join the voyage of Otto von Kotzebue, financed by Count Rumyantsev, aboard the Rurik. The Kotzebue expedition aimed to discover the Northwest Passage, and though it failed in that objective, its peregrinations through the oceans of the world made it one of the most consequential and celebrated voyages of the XIXc. Lada-Mocarski describes it as the fundamental work on Alaska, California and Hawaii; the voyage also records the Philippines, Easter Island and Chile. Unusually, the fruits of the Rurik's travels were not kept in Russia; von Chamisso brought the specimens to Berlin, and Choris took his drawings to Paris. Under the ægis of the publisher Firmin Didot, Choris published the Voyage pittoresque by subscription (188 sets) in 22 parts (livraisons) issued between 1820 and 1822 (with the final sheets issued in 1823, per Brunet and Howes), available both uncolored and, as here, colored. Barely twenty when the expedition began, and fresh from his academic training, Choris's paintings are lauded for their straightforward naturalism, rather than the idealizing or exoticizing so common in far-flung accounts. Remaining in Paris, Choris brought out in 1826 a supplement of sorts, the Vues et paysages des régions equinoxiales, although the group of 24 views goes far beyond the equator. Published instead with Paul Renouard, this too was issued by subscription in 6 livraisons. The present example has the rare dedication to Nicholas I, dated 1827 -- an important link to the Russian sponsorship of the expedition that had set off more than a decade previous. Peter Decker was one of the great Americana booksellers, on par with Lathrop Harper and Wright Howes. The present item was lot 102 in the 18 November 1969 Parke Bernet sale of his stock. Frank Sherwin Streeter (1918-2006) was the son of the legendary Americana collector Thomas W. Streeter. Some of his collection he inherited from his father (those he did not he would often buy back), but other volumes he added over many decades until his death. The present work -- lot 109 at his Christie's New York sale 16 April 2007 ("Important navigation, Pacific voyages, cartography, science") -- is an instance in which son surpassed father, who owned the Voyage pittoresque (Streeter Sale IV.2461) but not the Vues. Voyage: Forbes 541; Hill 290; Howes C 397; Lada-Mocarski 84; Sabin 12884. Vues: Borba de Moraes I:180; Forbes 632; Lada-Mocarski 90; Sabin 12885.

Soft cover. 1st Edition. Folio (17 1/8 x 11 4/8 inches; plate size: 17 1/8 x 10 2/8 inches). Half-title, dedication leaf to Humboldt, 24 hand-colored lithographed plates after Choris, printed by F. Noel or Bove (occasionally heavy spotting and browning throughout, ink library stamp touching the image of the plate "Entrance avec…les . Iles Penrhyn"). Contemporary French marbled paper boards, later printed paper label on the spine, uncut (rebacked, extremities worn with minor loss, recent archival tissue guards to plates). Provenance: Early annotation to tissue guard date 6th September 1844; supra libros of the College Royal d'Orleans, and ink library stamps of the library there on the half-title, one plate (see above) and the verso of the last plate; shelf-mark on the title-page and ink library stamp of Lycee de Garcons Orleans on page 21. First edition, and one of 50 large-paper copies, first issued in six parts in wrappers, with explanatory text bound-in, and the plates plain or colored. After watercolours made by Choris as expedition artist on Kotzebue's voyage in the Rurik to the Pacific, 1815-1818. These fine views were not published in either his "Voyage Pittoresque" (1822) or in Kotzebue's account of the voyage (published in Weimar, 1821), and include scenes in Tenerife, Brazil, several Pacific islands, including Easter Island (where the travelers were prevented from landing by irate inhabitants following a recent abduction by two native women), the newly discovered isle of Romanzov (named for the expedition's sponsor, now Wotje Island, in the Marshall Islands), with its spectacular coral reefs; Hawaii, and the Philippines; Kamchatka, the Cape of Good Hope and Saint Helena, in South America. Inspired by Alexander von Humboldt, to whom the work is dedicated, and especially to his "Tableaux de la nature", Choris envisaged this edition as a series of "tableaux" revealing the characteristics of each region, with their local fauna, flora and inhabitants. The plates are remarkable for their realism and testify to Choris's superb draftsmanship and sure touch for revealing details. Borba de Moraes I:180; Forbes 632; Lada-Mocarski 90; Sabin 12885.
