Couverture souple. Zustand: Bon. Histoire. Marine. Voyage. --- Rose-Marie Pinon, âgée de 20 ans épouse le capitaine de frégate Louis de Saulces de Freycinet en 1814. Trois ans plus tard, Louis est désigné au commandement d'une navigation scientifique qui met à la voile en 1817 pour ne revenir qu'en 1820. Rose explique son dilemme : "J'avais à choisir entre mon affection et des préjugés qu'il me fallait braver avec la certitude d'être désapprouvée par une grande partie du monde." Impasse - innocente ou volontaire ? - sur le règlement naval interdisant formellement l'embarquement des femmes à bord des vaisseaux de l'État. En 1822 parut le récit officiel du voyage autour du monde de l'Uranie. La narration de madame de Freycinet s'inscrit dans un tout autre registre et vaut par sa différence et sa complémentarité. Les "faibles lignes" dont elle s'accuse sont d'une lecture facile et agréable, mais riches d'une humanité qui fait parfois défaut aux journaux de bord conçus pour l'étude ou la publication spécialisée. 14,5x22 cm. 248 p. Broché. Bon état. Papier légèrement bruni. Petits plis. Couverture légèrement défraîchie. in-8°.…

Three-page closely-written autograph letter signed "Rose", simply addressed on the fourth page, on a sheet of laid paper with watermark, folded to letter-size 235 x 183 mm.; archive stamp, old folds, in excellent condition. A charming, interesting and candid letter signed affectionately "Rose," chiefly detailing the dramatic and frightening financial collapse of the Barillon family, bankers and perhaps her oldest family friends: famously, Rose's journal of the Uranie voyage was written for Caroline de Nanteuil née Barillon. The letter, written only some 13 months after her own return from the circumnavigation, is written to her sister-in-law and confidante Clémentine, the wife of the Baudin veteran Henri de Freycinet, then living at the Ile Bourbon (Réunion) during Henri's governorship of the island. The Barillons themselves had longstanding connections on the island and nearby Mauritius, so the catastrophic news must have been electrifying when it finally reached them in their Indian Ocean outpost. Rose de Freycinet (1794-1832) is one of the great romantic figures: smuggled on board the Uranie by her devoted husband, her diary of shipboard life, since published no fewer than three times, is one of the most interesting, candid, and intimate accounts of any of the early circumnavigations or grands voyages. Despite an unconventional courtship, Rose became a great favourite of the whole Freycinet family, and was particularly close to Henri and his wife Clémentine: Louis and Henri enjoyed a long correspondence throughout their life and, as this letter amply attests, the two sisters-in-law were also tremendously affectionate. Written from Paris in the first days of 1822, the letter details the financial difficulties faced by the Barillon family. Rose's anxiety and sorrow is tangible, because the Barillon family were great friends and protectors of her entire family, the Pinons. Rose's beloved sister Stéphanie Pinon had been the private tutor to the children of a branch of the Barillon family when they were at the Ile de France (Rose was very upset to miss Stéphanie's arrival by only one day during the voyage of the Uranie in July 1818; see A Woman of Courage, p. xii). The letter details the serious financial situation the family faced, the head of the family (Claude-Georges Barillon) having destroyed the family finances on the stock market with ill-advised speculation, before disappearing. There are great fears for his safety, she writes; he has not been heard from for months. Worst of all they have no "chouchou" left at all, and have had to relinquish all of their jewels, cashmere, silver and so on. While Rose and Louis have offered whatever support and consolation they are able to, it is clear that the Barillons are ruined. Their only hope is that the kind regard in which the family is held may enable them to salvage something from the wreck ("quelque débris dans ce grand naufrage"); Rose's consolation is that dear Caroline is married, and therefore sheltered from the catastrophe, but for the two younger children the future is not so bright. At least Madame Barillon has taught them that virtue and simplicity are the best mainstays. Barillon père later died in Mexico in 1830 (had he run so far?). As well as the famous diary, which was itself essentially a series of lengthy narrative letters to Caroline, a selection of letters from Rose to Clémentine was used by both Bassett and Rivière to shed important light on her later life, for which the correspondence is a major source. However, the present letter has never been published. Thanks to the enormous interest in Rose and her famous narrative of the voyage, she has become recognised as one of the most interesting nineteenth-century letter-writers, and yet not only are her letters exceptionally rare on the market but few have the drama nor the immediacy of the present example. . …

Île-de-France [Mauritius, Port-Louis] : Imprimerie de Mallac frères, 25 May 1818. Quarto (250 x 194 mm), 2 pp., letterpress, recto and verso of a single loose leaf; light horizontal fold, a fine example. This extremely rare and precious document - one of only three copies known - is a poetic tribute to the adventurer Rose de Freycinet (1794-1832), wife of navigator Louis de Freycinet. It was written and published by Jacques Mallac, a Mauritian Creole printer who took his inspiration from an encounter with Rose during the voyage of the Uranie (1817-1820). The 55-line panegyric by Jacques Mallac (1772-1827) was printed on his press in Port-Louis, Mauritius. It is signed at the end 'J.M.' and dated 25 May 1818. The sheet features a typographical border, the royal crest of France at the head, and a colophon vignette depicting a three-masted ship - likely the French corvette Uranie. There was a clandestine aspect to the Uranie voyage, for when Louis de Freycinet?s expedition departed Toulon on 17 September 1817, the 22-year-old Madame Rose de Saulces de Freycinet (née Pinon) was on the Uranie, having been smuggled aboard in men's clothing. She had disguised herself to join her husband, the geographer Louis de Freycinet. His expedition, whose objectives were largely scientific in nature, would visit Brazil, Mauritius, Western Australia, New South Wales, Hawaii, Timor, New Guinea, and other Pacific Islands on its three-year circumnavigation. In recognition of his wife's courage, Louis would name a virgin island in the Samoa archipelago ?Rose? The expedition left Rio de Janeiro in January 1818 for Île Bourbon (Réunion); on 5 May, it anchored at Port-Louis, Île-de-France (Mauritius), which had been under British administration for eight years. During their stay, the Freycinets mingled with Mauritius? Creole high society, befriending Jacques Mallac, a judge and printer. Mallac,it is perhaps worth noting, had met the explorer Matthew Flinders in 1806 during his captivity on Île-de-France, when he was introduced by his friend Edward Pitot as a member of the Société d?émulation (Matthew Flinders? private journal from 17 December 1803 at Isle de France to 10 July 1814 at London. Friends of the State Library of South Australia, 2005). He had lost his fortune in the fire of 1816, but with the support of friends, he had recently established a printing house in Port-Louis, intended for his children. Rose herself describes in her diary the circumstances surrounding her pleasant discovery of Mallac's poem during a visit to his press: 'I wanted to visit the printing presses, which had been built in England, and I expressed this wish to Mr. Mallac, who took me into the workshop. I was offered the chance to compose and print something before my eyes. The intelligent director operated the press himself, explaining each step in great detail. As soon as he had finished, he presented me with the sheet, asking me to admire the beauty of the type. What a surprise it was to see at the top "À Madame Rose de Freycinet" and to read the following lines [i.e. the first eight lines of the present poem]: "D'Orion brillantes étoiles, / Vous, enfans de Léda, chers aux navigateurs, / Astres qui de la nuit ornez les sombres voiles, / Ne cachez point vos feux à ces observateurs / Qui vont, guidés par Uranie, / Porter aux rivages lointains, / Et leur courage et leur génie: / Zéphyre, et toi Vénus protégez leurs destins." I was deeply moved by the gesture and will judge the intention rather than the work itself.' (Journal de madame Rose de Saulces de Freycinet: campagne de l?Uranie (1817?1820) d?après le manuscrit original. Paris, Société d?éditions géographiques, maritimes et coloniales, 1927, pp. 34-35). Under the imprint of his English press, Mallac published legal compendia, archives, and gazettes: Les Archives de l?Île-de-France (1819), L?Almanach de Maurice (1821), and New Mauritius Gazette (1821-1825) are all examples of these. Unofficial or more specialised works, such as his panegyric for Madame Freycinet, are extremely rare: only two copies of the poem printed for Rose de Freycinet are known, one at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (mandatorily acquired from the Jean Viardot collection: cf. catalogue of his sale, 1 June 2016), the other at the State Library of New South Wales (ex Freycinet family, acquired from Hordern House in 2018, priced at $35,000).
