The binding of the Atlas somewha…t rubbed and bumped; the map with a tear in the lower part of the middle fold (without loss). Pages throughout the atlas with some staining in the lower part (outside of the pictures), occasional staining, otherwise in good condition. First edition of French botanist's Jacques-Julien Houtou de Labillardière's (1755-1834) travel report of the expedition he took in search of the French navigator Count of La Perouse, who had been missing for 3 years. This work gives an account of the 1791-1793 d'Entrecasteaux expedition to Australasia. This very popular account of the crew's journey north from Australia the island of New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, New Caledonia, Tasmania, the north island of New Zealand also managed to produce a first mapping of the flora and fauna of the region, as well as accounts of the indigenous people, their customs, habits and language. At the end of the second volume, a vocabulary is included that lists various words from indigenous languages and their French translation. The expedition used two boats with symbolical names: La Recherche and l'Esperance on which 219 crew members embarked. The crew did not manage to find La Perouse, therefore its achievement stands in the work produced as a consequence of the expedition. While the boats were travelling across Oceania, in Europe the French Revolutionary War was breaking out and upon reaching the island of Java all of the material collected and written by Labillardiere was seized by British authorities. After a thorough campaign for the return of his collections, he managed to get them back to France in 1796 and he published the present work in 1799. The account is written in the manner of a journal, with a narrative form. The 2 volumes are dedicated exclusively to Labillardiere's narrative account of the expedition, while the third large-format volume is dedicated to illustrations and maps pertaining to the visited areas. The atlas contains a large folding map and 43 figures representing different life settings (gatherings, meals, transport), portraits of the "savages", their weapons, fauna and flora (after drawings by Redouté); in its entirety, this constitutes an extremely interesting ethnographic study of the visited areas. Labillardière's work represents a very valuable firsthand accounts of one of the most ambitious geographical, scientifical and economical expedition of the 18th century.

In den WarenkorbTwo volumes, quarto, and folio atlas; text volumes uncut; the atlas with engraved title, folding chart of the voyage and 43 engraved maps, and plates; text in marbled papered boards, atlas in period quarter calf with marbled paper sides. The superbly illustrated narrative by the naturalist on the d'Entrecasteaux expedition, in w…hich Australia was fully circumnavigated, if sometimes at a distance, and the islands surrounding investigated for traces of La Pérouse. Jacques-Julien Houtou de Labillardière (1755-1834), was a botanist and doctor of medicine, who had travelled widely in the Middle East: he was just finishing up his important botanical study of Syria when he was appointed to the d'Entrecasteaux voyage. He remains an important figure in early Australian science as the author of the first extensive monograph on Australian botany. The voyage spent many months on the coasts of Western Australia, just a year after Vancouver's visit, and made two long visits to Tasmania, charting, botanising and exploring the coasts. The visits are remembered in numerous place names, most notably Recherche Archipelago and Recherche Bay, named for the expedition's ship. Labillardière's account is one of very few eighteenth-century accounts of Australian exploration, and the only major French account of the continent in the early settlement period to be published in the same century. The important narrative based on the commander d'Entrecasteaux's papers did not appear until 1808, once the First French Republic had been well established. In this set the Atlas volume is present in the 1817 reissued version, from the same printing as its appearance in 1800 but with a new title-page. Published on its own, it may well have been produced to accompany text volumes that remained in print from the earlier edition. The publication is noted (without particular comment) by the McLaren bibliography and recorded by Ferguson from copies in the Mitchell Library and the Tasmanian parliamentary library. The work is particularly interesting for its descriptions (and illustrations) of Tasmania, Tonga, New Caledonia, and New Guinea, and the atlas contains outstanding views of these areas, their inhabitants, and native artefacts by the official artist Piron. Included is the famous engraving of the black swan. the first large depiction of the exotic Australian bird. Fourteen superb botanical plates, all by or produced under the direction of Redouté, the most famous of all botanical artists, include two of Eucalypts and two of Banksias. There are three fine bird studies by Audibert. Bernard Smith has written (European Vision and the South Pacific, 2nd edn, 1817, pp. 149-152) about the images in the atlas, and particularly the portraits which with "no sentiment, no sensuousness, no sense of luxury, no aura of soft primitivism clinging about the dry, wiry natives" derive rather from the school of "heroic stoicism" of Jacques Louis David. Smith notes that Piron, the official artist of the voyage, instead models his portraits on the classical ideal and his portraits are more than simply reminiscent of such classical icons as the Venus de Medici, and the Polykleitos depictions of Doryphoros and the Wounded Amazon The expedition had left France at a high-point of Revolutionary confidence, but the two vessels were dogged by poor luck, notably a power vacuum after the death of the commander and several senior officers, and were ultimately riven by political discord, not least because Labillardière himself was an ardent Republican. It was in this desperate state that the ships anchored in Batavia in mid-1793, where they learned of the French Revolution, and D'Auribeau, then commander, and the principal officers being monarchists, put themselves under Dutch protection, arrested the remainder of the officers, including Labillardière the naturalist, and Piron the artist, and disposed of the ships. D'Auribeau in turn died, and was succeeded by Rossel, who managed to return to Europe and later edited the manuscripts for the official account. That Labillardière even made it back is a small miracle (given how many of his shipmates died of scurvy or in prison), but the most serendipitous aspect of the project is that the expedition's papers and all of his specimens were confiscated by the surviving commander of the expedition, eventually ending up in England: only the support of Banks himself, placing science above war, meant that the herbarium ever made it to France under a flag of truce. . Some leaves in the atlas with restoration and scattered foxing, title page and five plates slightly smaller; a few leaves in the second text volume with light water-stains; otherwise fine.

PROVENANCE: from the library of Martin Copley, A.M. (1940-2014), British-Australian book collector, businessman, and conservationist. FIRST EDITION OF THIS CELEBRATED ACCOUNT OF THE EXPEDITION SENT BY THE FRENCH ASSEMBLY IN SEARCH OF THE VANISHED LA PÉROUSE. Written by the doctor and naturalist who accompanied the expedition. Under the general command of Bruni d'Entrecasteaux, two ships bearing 219 men set sail in September 1791, proceeding round the Cape of Good Hope to the Australian coast and Tasmania, where they spent months searching doggedly but in vain for a trace of the great navigator and his party, last seen in Botany Bay in 1788. In the course of the search the ships circumnavigated Australia twice, and visited New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, the Admiralty Islands, Tonga, New Guinea, and New Britain. The expedition was plagued by misfortune; not only was no trace of La Pérouse's party found, but a large number of crewmen perished from scurvy, which killed d'Entrecasteaux himself in the summer of 1793, soon after the death of his fellow commander Kermadec. Following the loss of its leaders, and split between royalist officers and a crew supporting the revolutionaries, the expedition dispersed. Although it failed to achieve its primary goal, the voyage was of considerable importance for the numerous important scientific observations--geographical, ethnographic, botanical, zoological and hydrographic--made throughout the region. In 1795 the expedition papers and Labillardière's botanical and zoological specimens were seized by British forces, but, at the urging of Joseph Banks and the Royal Society, were returned a year later, enabling Labillardière to be the first to publish an account of the voyage. Of particular scientific interest for his description of the Tongas, "an excellent contribution to the ethnology of that people" (Hill), Labillardière's detailed narrative includes as well the first scientific descriptions of the New Zealand flax and several other New Zealand plants, specimens of which he brought back, and appendices containing glossaries of Malay and of the native languages of Tasmania, Tonga, New Caledonia, and Waygiou (New Guinea), with tables charting the route of the Espérance. The illustrations of the atlas volume, most after Piron, include detailed depictions of native headdresses and activities (preparation of meals, fishing, dancing), ceremonial objects, tools, boats and views of the islands, four plates of birds, of which three after Audebert, and 14 botanical plates after Redouté. Along with this quarto edition, Janson published an octavo edition during the same year (two issues are known, one giving a different publisher's address). Although priority has not been established, it is likely that the more luxurious quarto edition was issued first; comparison of copies shows the impression of the engravings to be a bit darker and crisper.

Quelques brunissures marginales, hum. angulaire sans gravité sur près de 50 pp. au second volu…me de texte et 12 planches légère et sans atteinte aux gravures. Bon exemplaire. Rarissime première édition anglaise du journal de cette expédition, ordonnée par Louis XVI et sous le commandement de l'amiral d'Entrecasteaux, à la recherche des vaisseaux de La Pérouse dont on était sans nouvelle depuis trois ans. Membre de l'expédition, Labillardière (1755 - 1834), fut l'un des premiers naturalistes à faire connaître la flore des Terres Australes. Avec Claude Antoine Gaspard Riche (1762-1798) et Étienne Pierre Ventenat (1757-1808) il effectua d'amples collections de spécimens zoologiques, botaniques et géologiques, et décrivit les coutumes et les langues des aborigènes d'Australie. À la suite de la relation, on trouve une partie linguistique avec les vocabulaires malais, du Cap de Diemen, des îles des Amis, de la Nouvelle Calédonie et de l'île Waygiou. L'atlas contient une grande carte dépliante de la mer des Indes par Barbier du Bocage, 14 planches de botanique d'après Redouté, 3 planches d'oiseaux d'après Audebert et 26 planches de portraits et de vues d'après les dessins de Piron, gravées par Dien, Copia et Pérée.

In den WarenkorbFirst Edition. Full Description: LABILLARDIÈRE, [Jacques Julien Houton de]. Relation du voyage a la recherche de La Pérouse, fait par ordre de l'Assemblée Constituante, pendant les années 1791, 1792, et pendant la 1ere. et la 2e. année de la République Françoise.Paris: Chez H.J. Jansen, An VIII de la République Françoise [i.e.,…1799-1800]. First edition, quarto issue. Two quarto text volumes (11 3/8 x 8 3/4 inches; 290 x 222 mm.) and one folio atlas volume (22 1/4 x 16 3/8 inches; 565 x 415 mm.). xvi, 442; 332, 113, [1, errata] pp. Atlas with engraved title, double-page route map of the Western Pacific and Indian Oceean by Barbie du Bocage and forty-three plates engraved by Copia after drawings by Piron, the expedition artist, and the botanical plates by Redoute. Contemporary French mottled calf [by Courteval]. Covers with borders of rope-and-disc design enclosed between gilt rules, smooth spines divided into sections using wide gilt bands stripped vertically, sections with large gilt designs, black morocco gilt lettering labels, gilt board edges, turn-ins decorated in a gilt greek-key pattern, marbled endpapers, edges speckled yellow. Atlas corners and caps expertly strengthened. Old and scattered oxidation stains to pp. 148-149 in Vol. II (text). Plate 10 with old, opaque stain to lower corner (into plate margin but not affecting image), four other plates with browning spots to lower blank margin. A truly exceptional set; beautifully bound, very tall and very clean. A splendid set of the first edition in contemporary bindings by one of the greatest binders of his day. The text of the first edition was issued simultaneously in octavo and quarto formats, both intended to be accompanied by the folio volume of plates. "The quarto volumes seem to have been printed so that they could be uniformly bound with the quarto La Pérouse volumes. The fine atlas volume is much prized as it is scarce and often found lacking from the set" (Hill). "No news had been received for three years respecting the ships Boussole and Astrolabe, commanded by M. de la Pérouse, when, early in the year 1791, the attention of the Constituent Assembly was called to the fate of that navigator and his companions. On February 9, 1791 a decree was passed on the subject, which directed (inter alia) that the King be petitioned to give orders for the fitting out of one or more ships, equipped with men of science, naturalists and draughtsmen, with the two-fold mission of searching for M. de la Pérouse and of making inquiries relative to the sciences and to commerce.Proceeding via the Cape of Good Hope to Tasmania, extensive investigations of its coastline were made. New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, the Admiralty Islands, Tonga, New Britain and other groups were visited, but although most searching inquiries were made, no trace of the missing navigator was found.The expedition made several important contributions to geographical knowledge, and the investigations of the naturalists into the productions of countries visited were of special value" (Ferguson 307). Labillardière was one of the naturalists accompanying the expedition; his is the first published account of this very important Pacific voyage. Ferguson, Australia, 307 and 682. Hill 954.

In den Warenkorb2 text volumes, 4to., (290 x 215 mm.), and one folio atlas volume (529 x 376 mm.). Text: xvi, 442; 332, 113, [1] pp. Half-titles, errata page at end of volume 2 (some very light and occasional marginal spotting, very pale marginal dampstain to a few quires at the end of volume 2.) Atlas: engraved title-page, large double-paged e…ngraved folding map by d'Houdan after J. D. Barbié du Bocage, and 43 engraved plates, numbered 2-44, by Copia, Perée, or Maleuvre (1) and printed by Dien, after Piron, Jean-Baptiste Audebert (ornithological plates), and Pierre-Joseph Redouté (botanical plates), all mounted on guards (some occasionally heavy marginal spotting, not affecting the images). Uniformly bound in early 19th-century French black calf, marbled paper boards gilt by A. Varicault of Chatellerault with his binder's ticket on the front paste-down of each text volume (extremities a bit scuffed). First edition, the text volumes published simultaneously in 8vo., of this celebrated account of the expedition sent by the French Assembly in search of the vanished La Pérouse, written by the doctor and naturalist who accompanied the expedition. Under the general command of Bruni d'Entrecasteaux, two ships bearing 219 men set sail in September 1791, proceeding round the Cape of Good Hope to the Australian coast and Tasmania, where they spent months searching doggedly but in vain for a trace of the great navigator and his party, last seen in Botany Bay in 1788. In the course of the search the ships circumnavigated Australia twice, and visited New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, the Admiralty Islands, Tonga, New Guinea, and New Britain. The expedition was plagued by misfortune; not only was no trace of La Pérouse's party found, but a large number of crewmen perished from scurvy, which killed d'Entrecasteaux himself in the summer of 1793, soon after the death of his fellow commander Kermadec. Following the loss of its leaders, and split between royalist officers and a crew supporting the revolutionaries, the expedition dispersed. Although it failed to achieve its primary goal, the voyage was of considerable importance for the numerous important scientific observations - geographical, ethnographic, botanical, zoological and hydrographic - made throughout the region. In 1795 the expedition papers and Labillardière's botanical and zoological specimens were seized by British forces, but, at the urging of Joseph Banks and the Royal Society, were returned a year later, enabling Labillardière to be the first to publish an account of the voyage. Of particular scientific interest for his description of the Tongas, "an excellent contribution to the ethnology of that people" (Hill), Labillardière's detailed narrative includes as well the first scientific descriptions of the New Zealand flax and several other New Zealand plants, specimens of which he brought back, and appendices containing glossaries of Malay and of the native languages of Tasmania, Tonga, New Caledonia, and Waygiou (New Guinea), with tables charting the route of the Espérance. The illustrations of the atlas volume, most after Piron, include detailed depictions of native headdresses and activities (preparation of meals, fishing, dancing), ceremonial objects, tools, boats and views of the islands, four plates of birds, of which three after Audebert, and 14 botanical plates after Redouté. Along with this quarto edition, Janson published an octavo edition during the same year (two issues are known, one giving a different publisher's address). Although priority has not been established, it is likely that the more luxurious quarto edition was issued first from the presses; comparison of copies shows the impression of the engravings to be a bit darker and crisper.
