Later half light brown morocco over marbled boards, gilt spine with raised bands; marbled endleaves; original blue printed wrappers preserved (along with the backstrips the three text volumes). Text leaves intermittently foxed throughout (often in light-moderately toned large blotches). Plates clean and fresh with only occasional touches of soiling or faint foxing almost exclusively confined to the margins; large folding map and folding itinerary in the Atlas with more notable light foxing. A very good set with fine plates. 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 Sauv.…
