Together 3 vols. text, 4to, 2-part atlas in 1 vol., royal 4to, and Navigation atlas 1 vol. folio. Paris; Imprimerie Imperiale [et] Royale; 1807-1816. ***See Ferguson 449 (Historique), 536 (navigation atlas) and 603 (navigation text). Both the text and atlas of the Navigation and Geography are very rare and complete sets of the entire work are seldom encountered. The charts in the Atlases (both to the Navigation and to the Partie Historique) are mainly by de Freycinet, and the fine illustrations are by Lesueur and Petit. The plates consist of 5 coloured coastal views, natural history subjects (9 coloured), topographical views, native weapons, canoes, habitations, etc. (some coloured), and 10 portraits (4 coloured) of NAMED Aborigines by Nicolas-Martin Petit (1777-1804). One of the folding topographical views is a fine plate of Sydney by Charles Alexandre Lesueur (1778-1846). The expedition was commanded by Nicolas Thomas Baudin (1754-1803), who died at Batavia on the way home. The purpose of the voyage was the thorough examination of the western and southern coasts of Australia, and especially to investigate a belief that a strait existed linking the southern sea with the Gulf of Carpentaria, thus dividing New Holland into two large islands. A six months’ stay at Sydney is fully described by Peron, embodying a valuable account of life in the early years of the settlement. Despite the failure of the expedition to complete its allotted tasks and the untimely death of its commander the scientific achievements were outstanding and many hundreds of plants were illustrated and described and in addition a collection of over eighteen thousand Zoological specimens was amassed, together with observations on numerous subjects - all this with a complement greatly reduced (both in scientific staff & crew) by desertion and illness!

French quarter calf, with green papered sides (the spine to the first part very worn and partly defective; some occasional foxing to margins and tissue interleaves but a fine set); very rare. Paris; Arthus Bertrand; 1824. ***The two parts of this atlas once belonged to Franklin H. Delano, the grandfather of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and carry his bookplate in the front of each part. The somewhat unusual arrangement of plates is clearly original, and not unprecedented. We have inspected a number of copies of this atlas with unusual plate arrangements and have had reports of various “hybrid” issues with a mix of plates from the two editions. The present copy is however quite complete with the full complement of second edition plates. It seems likely that these publisher’s bindings were intended as temporary clothing only and would usually have been rebound, with the plates numerically ordered in a single volume of the purchaser’s choice: this was the usual outcome, nearly all copies encountered today having been rebound either early and/or late in their history. See Ferguson 978 & 979; Wantrup 82; NMM cat. 640; Sabin 60999; this edition not in Hill. The superb plates in the atlas (25 more than in the first edition) include 12 portraits (5 coloured) of NAMED Aborigines by Nicholas Petit, 11 fine zoological plates (8 coloured), 17 of native weapons, artefacts including musical instruments, canoes, habitations, etc., 6 fine coloured plates of Timor & Solor natives, & 3 of Africans (2 coloured) and 11 fine zoological plates (8 coloured). The coloured plates are some of the finest ever done in an account of a voyage to Australia. The expedition, with two vessels, le Geographe and le Naturaliste, under the command of Nicolas Baudin, was sent in 1800 to conduct a cartographic survey of the Australian continent, and although at the time it was thought to be politically inspired, it was a purely scientific voyage. Louis-Claude de Freycinet was cartographer to the expedition, and was later to lead his own world voyage in the ships l’Uranie and la Physicienne; while Francois Peron was naturalist. Unfortunately Baudin was not a particularly competent leader and his authority was constantly undermined by the scheming and politically motivated Peron. The voyage was also plagued by ill-health and at Mauritius on the voyage out, over 40 of the scientists and crew deserted. The expedition met with the Australian coast at Cape Leeuwin, and the two vessels becoming separated, sailed to Timor, where they were re-united. When eventually, after re-surveying parts of Van


Diemen’s Land, Baudin followed his original orders and commenced a survey of the south coast of Australia from the East, he met Flinders at Encounter Bay. After this meeting Baudin took the expedition to Sydney where the Geographe was refitted and the crew rested, and where it was decided to send the Naturaliste back to France with the specimens already collected (see below). To replace this vessel, the Casuarina was purchased from Governor King and Freycinet was put in command. While in Sydney, Peron took advantage of his host’s hospitality by preparing a report on the defences of the settlement which he later submitted to General Decaen with the recommendation that Sydney be destroyed at the earliest opportunity as it later might not be so readily achieved. After the stay in Sydney, the expedition returned to surveying the South Coast and discovered and charted the south coast of Kangaroo Island. After some further surveying along the west and north-west coast including a second visit to Timor, the expedition returned to France via Mauritius, where unhappily Baudin died. In spite of the failure of the expedition to complete its allotted tasks the scientific achievements were outstanding and many hundreds of plants were illustrated and described and in addition a collection of over eighteen thousand zoological specimens was amassed, together with observations on numerous subjects - all this with a complement greatly reduced (both in scientific staff & crew) by desertion and illness! Baudin’s death meant that the official account of the expedition, was left in the hands of his arch enemy Peron and the barely more sympathetic Freycinet, and in the first edition of 1807-16, Baudin’s name is not even mentioned except to accuse him of causing all the misfortunes which befel the expedition. The text of this second edition, prepared by Freycinet was extensively revised from the first edition, and the maps of the Australian coastline with the French names which had preceded the publication of Flinders account, owing to his long imprisonment on Mauritius, were dropped from the atlas to be replaced by 25 new plates. Many of these new plates are of great importance to Australia, including 5 more portraits of aborigines to complement those which had also appeared in the first edition, the plate of aboriginal drawings and another of aboriginal music. The three plates of Africans also are new to this edition, as are 14 of the Timor plates, several of these in exquisite colour. [A fuller description is available on application]. #9759 A$49,500.00
