Taillemite, Dictionnaire des marins fran\u00e7ais, p. 259. Missing from all bibliographies or specialised collections (Forbes, Ferguson, O’Reilly, Cordier, Borba de Moraes, Sabin, John Carter Brown).<\/i><\/p>\n
First edition.<\/span><\/p>\n It contains the account by the sailor Casimir Henricy of the circumnavigation of the Art\u00e9mise under the direction of Laplace. The beautiful plates, drawn by Fran\u00e7ois-Edmond P\u00e2ris, illustrate the Cape of Good Hope, Moka, Muscat, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Tahiti, Peru, Manila, Honolulu and other places. Of particular interest is the beautiful view of Hawaii, unknown to Forbes. The plates also illustrate the official account of the voyage published between 1841 and 1854. Disguised as a scientific voyage, this expedition was primarily a rescue operation to end the ban on celebrating the Catholic faith in Hawaii.<\/p>\n “En 1837, [P\u00e2ris] entreprenait sur l’Art\u00e9mise command\u00e9e \u00e0 nouveau par Laplace son troisi\u00e8me tour du monde pendant lequel, visitant une fonderie pr\u00e8s de Madras, il tomba dans une machine \u00e0 vapeur dont il voulait \u00e9tudier le fonctionnement et d\u00fb subir l’amputation de l’avant-bras gauche. Promu capitaine de corvette en septembre 1840, il re\u00e7ut en ao\u00fbt 1841 un t\u00e9moignage de satisfaction du ministre pour la qualit\u00e9 de ses observations scientifiques et pour son \u00e9tude sur les navires chinois et oc\u00e9aniens” (Taillemite).<\/p>\n The album is very rare, and is missing from all the major specialised collections.<\/p>\n Binding skilfully restored, yellow endpapers renewed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Large oblong 4to (256 x 349 mm) of 2 nn.l., 8 pp., 25 steel-engraved plates.
