First edition of this comprehensive report on one of the most important scientific and archaeological missions of the nineteenth century, the 1864 expedition to the Dead Sea undertaken by the visionary art collector, archaeologist, and scientist Honoré Paul Joseph d'Albert, duc de Luynes (1802-1867). Along with an atlas containing 78 reproductions of photographs by Louis Vignes (1831-1896), Jardin (fl. 1864), and Henri Joseph Sauvaire (1831-1896), this work documents "the first systematic attempt to survey and photograph the geological features and cities of the Dead Sea basin in present-day Jordan. In addition to mapping the Dead Sea area, the expedition made significant contributions to the geological and paleontological knowledge of the region and also to an understanding of the chemical composition of the lake's waters" (GRI). Louis Vignes, a lieutenent-commander in the French navy and director since 1860 of the port in Beirut, was chosen by de Luynes as photographer for the expedition because of his knowledge of the Levant. "Vignes began to photograph immediately upon arrival in Beirut and continued to do so during the ride south throughout Sidon, Tyre, Nablus, and Jerusalem. From March 14 until May 29 the party sailed the entire Dead Sea on a special iron vessel designed by Vignes to be dismantled for easy trasportation" (Perez). A preliminary account, edited by Vignes, appeared as Extrait des notes d'un voyage d'exploration à la mer Morte, dans le Wady Arabah, sur la rive gauche du Jourdain et dans le désert de Palmyre (Paris: H. Plon, 1865). This work essentially comprised a key to the two maps drawn by Vignes, with assistance from Dr. Gustave Combe. The larger of the two maps charted the Jordan Rift Valley from the southern end of the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Akabah; the second map depicts the Dead Sea and its immediate vicinity. "In addition to tracing the expedition's routes, place names, elevations, vegetation, land conditions, natural features and many other geomorphic and climatic details are recorded on the maps" (GRI). In the Atlas volume of the Voyage, these two maps have been combined into a single map (printed surface: 69.7 by 28.8 cm). In 1866 de Luynes made a second expedition to the region, accompanied by the archaeologist Christophe Edouard Mauss and Henri Sauvaire; their account was published the following year in the Bulletin de la Société de Géographie as "De Karak à Chaubak. Extrait d'un Journal de voyage." De Luynes' full account of the expedition is found in the first volume of the present report. The two parts of the second volume comprise Louis Vignes' account of the journey from Petra (Jordan) to Palmyra (Syria), along with the account of the 1866 journey from Jerusalem to the Crusader castles in Jordan at Kerak and Shoubak (Montréal), written by Mauss and Sauvaire. The third volume contains the report prepared by the noted geologist Louis Lartet (1840-1899), who would go on to discover the first Cro-Magnon skeletons. It is accompanied by chromolithographic maps and arrays of geological and paleontological elevations, along with finely detailed lithographic specimen plates. The entire production was posthumously edited by Melchior, marquis de Vogüé (1829-1916). A member of the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres, de Luynes was a philanthropist with enormous inherited wealth, and deep interdisciplinary interests, many of which are on display in the present work: the study and collection of Greco-Roman antiquities, notably from Phoenicia and Palestine, and the pursuit of scientific interests in chemistry, geology, and photography. In 1856 de Luynes initiated a competitionin in conjunction with the Societé Française de Photographie to find the best method of photomechanical reproduction. Two people were short-listed for the prize: the chemist and photographer, Alphonse Louis Poitevin, for his method of photolithography; and the pioneering photographer, Charles Nègre, (1820-1880) whose photogravure method "produced beautiful prints, but was even more complicated and unwieldy in practice the Poitevin's method" (Parr & Badger). Although Poitevin was finally awared the prize in 1867, de Luynes chose Nègre to process the 64 reproductions which appear in the first suite of images in the Atlas. "The Duc's decision.…
