Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Paris: Chez Dabo, 1817. Folio (19 ¼ x 13 inches) atlas beautifully bound in half straight-grain navy morocco over navy moire silk boards. Spine with raised gilt bands, gilt devices in compartments and gilt lettering (erroneously titled "Atlas de La Perouse"). Complete with engraved title-page, large folding route map by J. D. Barbié du Bocage, and 43 engraved plates by Copia, Perée, and Maleuvre after drawings by Piron, Audebert, P. J. Redouté, and Labillardière. Some occasional light foxing. French botanist Jacques Julien Houton de Labillardière (1755-1834) was part of the French expedition sent in La Recherche and L'Espérance in search of La Pérouse in 1791 under Bruny D'Entrecasteaux. Whilst the expedition failed in its primary object to discover the fate of La Pérouse, last seen exiting Botany Bay in March of 1788, many valuable scientific contributions, especially cartographic, but also ethnological and botanical, were made along the way. After Louis XVI was executed in Paris and the Republic declared, the republican Labillardière found himself imprisoned in Java until March of 1795. His extensive collections, including some 4000 plant specimens, were sent to England as the spoils of war. It was only with the support of Sir Joseph Banks that his collections were returned to France (ADB 1967, vol. 2, p. 63). Labillardière's Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse (two text volumes, plus Atlas), first published in 1800, was the first account published from the voyage and, as noted in the ADB, "contains valuable descriptions of the lands and peoples the expedition visited, including detailed accounts of the appearance and ways of the Australian Aboriginals." (p. 69) The Atlas volume, here offered, comprises finely engraved plates of ethnological, botanical, and ornithological interest from the places visited, including the Admiralty Islands, Van Diemen's Land, Tonga, New Caledonia, New Zealand, and Fiji. As Hill (2004, 954) writes, "[t]he fine atlas volume is much prized, as it is scarce and often lacking from the set.".

2 vol. in-4 de XVI 442 pp., 332 pp. 114 pp. (vocabulaire et tables) et un atlas in-folio de 1 f.n.ch. (page de titre) 44 ff.n.ch. (carte et planches), demi-maroquin grain long, dos lisse orné, pièces de titre et de tomaison (reliure à l'imitation). Edition originale (Brunet III, 711 et 828-829 - Sabin, 38420 - Ferguson 308). "Par décret du 9 février 1791, l'Assemblée Nationale pris la décision d'organiser une expédition de secours à la recherche du comte de La Pérouse, dont on était sans nouvelles depuis trois ans. Le général d'Entrecasteaux reçu le commandement de l'expédition formée de deux flûtes, la "Recherche" et l'"Espérance" commandée par Huon Kermadec. L'astronome Bertrand, le naturaliste La Billardière, auteur de ce récit, aidé par Deschamps, Louis Ventenat également naturaliste, Piron peintre, Beautens Beaupré, géographe, etc. constituaient le groupe de scientifiques. Partis de Brest, les deux navires firent escale au Cap de Bonne-Espérance puis firent route dans les mers du sud par la terre de Diémen, etc. Pendant ce voyage, d'Entrecasteaux et Kermadec devaient décéder. La fin du texte est constituée de plusieurs vocabulaires : Malais ; de l'île de Diemen ; des îles des Amis ; de la Nouvelle Calédonie et du Waygiou. La Billardière devait ramener plus de 4 000 plantes, la plus part inconnues. Bel exemplaire, de la bibliothèque de Pierre Bettencourt qui a laissé une note manuscrite qui relate la découverte des restes des bâteaux de La Pérouse par Dumont d'Urville en 1828". Le récit de Labillardière est particulièrement intéressant pour ses descriptions et illustrations de la Tasmanie et des îles citées plus haut et renferme une somme considérable d'informations sur la faune et la flore, mais aussi sur les peuples rencontrés, leurs coutumes et même leurs langues. Atlas illustrant la Relation du voyage comprenant une carte repliée de la mer des Indes et d'une partie du Pacifique dressée par J.D. Barbié et quarante-trois planches gravées (faune et flore, vues et portraits) par Copia, Pérée et Maleuvre, d?après Piron, Audebert, Redouté et La Billardière. Bel exemplaire.

XVI, 442 pp. 332, 113, (1) pp. Atlas with engr. title page, large folding map (590 x 865 mm) and 43 full-page engr. plates (numbered 2-44), including 14 botanical plates drawn or completed by Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Modern mottled half calf, each spine with gold decorated rules and 2 green sheepskin labels, decorated paper sides ("schrottel"/sprinkled pattern over a paste wash), text volumes with sprinkled edges. First edition of Labillardière's famous and finely illustrated narrative, a classic work of travel literature. The mysterious disappearance of the great French explorer Jean François Galaup de La Pérouse led to much speculation in France. On 9 Feb. 1791 the Constituent Assembly passed a decree ordering, among other things, that the King be petitioned to order the fitting out of one or more ships equipped with naturalists, scientists and draughtsmen, with the twofold mission of searching for M. de la Pérouse and of making inquiries relative to the sciences and to commerce. Two ships, La Recherche under the command of Rear-Admiral D'Entrecasteaux and L'Espérence under the command of Captain Kermadec, were fitted out. Proceeding via the Cape of Good Hope to Tasmania, they made extensive investigations of its coastline. They also visited New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, the Admiralty Islands, Tonga, New Britain and other groups, making extensive inquiries, but found no trace of the missing navigator (cf. Ferguson). The voyage, however, yielded a vast amount of new and valuable information on Australia's natural history and the aboriginal people of Tasmania. - Plates include views of the Admiralty Islands, Tasmania, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Tonga and impressive portraits of their inhabitants, while other plates show ethnographical objects, birds and plants. Most plates were engraved by Copia or Perée after Piron. The botanical plates were engraved after drawings by the celebrated Belgian botanical artist Pierre Joseph Redouté (10 plates) and after Piron, completed by Redouté (4 plates). Three of the four ornithological plates were engraved after Jean Baptiste Audebert. - In the same year Janssen also published an 8vo edition, followed by several editions in French, German and English. In 1826 some materials from La Pérouse's ships were traced back to the island Vanikoro, and a 1964 expedition identified the remains of one of his ships there. Further investigations concluded that both both ships were wrecked there and that most of the men who survived the wreck were killed by natives. A few eventually left the island, but their fate remains unknown. - Each text volume has the library stamp of the British Admiralty Office on the title and final page, those on the title pages with cancellation stamp. Plates mounted on new stubs, a few plates slightly frayed along the edges, some mostly marginal foxing and occasionally other spots or smudges, more serious in the title pages and half-titles, otherwise in very good condition. - Nissen, ZBI 2331.

Edition originale
3 volumes (text: 4to [11 3/4 x 9 inches]; atlas: folio [21 x 13 1/2 inches]). Atlas: Engraved title, folding map, and 43 plates. Half titles in the text. Text and atlas uncut. Text in contemporary blue patterned paper-covered boards, rebacked to style; atlas bound to style in period uniform blue patterned paper covered boards, paper spine labels. A fine uncut set of the first edition of the official published account of the search for La Pérouse, by the naturalist on the d'Entrecasteaux expedition. After three years had passed with no news of the fate of the La Perouse's ships, in 1791 a new expedition was launched with the dual mission of searching for La Perouse but also making inquiries into the natural sciences and commerce of the region. "Rear-Admiral Bruny D'Entrecasteaux received command of the expedition which consisted of two ships of about five hundred tons burden [La Recherche and L'Espérance] . Proceeding via the cape of Good Hope to Tasmania, extensive investigations of its coastline were made. New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, the Admiralty Islands, Tonga, New Britain and other groups were visited, but . no trace of the missing navigator was found . The expedition made several important contributions to geographical knowledge, and the investigations of the naturalists into productions of countries visited were of special value" (Ferguson). The work is particularly interesting for its descriptions and illustrations of Tasmania, Tonga, New Caledonia, and New Guinea, and the atlas contains outstanding views of these areas by the official artist Piron. Included is a famous engraving of a black swan, the first large depiction of the exotic Australian bird. Fourteen botanical plates, all by or produced under the direction of Redouté, the most famous of all botanical artists, include two of Eucalypts and two of Banksias. Labillardière, botanist on the voyage, remains an important figure in early Australian science as the author of the first extensive monograph on Australian botany. Labillardière's account is one of very few eighteenth-century accounts of Australian exploration, and the only major French account of the continent in the early settlement period to be published in the same century. The narrative based on the commander d'Entrecasteaux's own papers did not appear until 1808 (i.e. after the restoration of the monarchy). The first edition was published with the text in two forms: in quarto [as here, Ferguson 307] or octavo [Ferguson 308]. The quarto text , uniform in size to the first edition text of La Perouse, is greatly preferred.

Jansen, An VIII de la République Françoise [i.e., 1799-1800]. First edition, quarto issue. Two quarto text volumes (11 3/8 x 8 3/4 inches; 290 x 222 mm.) and one folio atlas volume (22 1/4 x 16 3/8 inches; 565 x 415 mm.). xvi, 442; 332, 113, [1, errata] pp. Atlas with engraved title, double-page route map of the Western Pacific and Indian Oceean by Barbie du Bocage and forty-three plates engraved by Copia after drawings by Piron, the expedition artist, and the botanical plates by Redoute. Contemporary French mottled calf [by Courteval]. Covers with borders of rope-and-disc design enclosed between gilt rules, smooth spines divided into sections using wide gilt bands stripped vertically, sections with large gilt designs, black morocco gilt lettering labels, gilt board edges, turn-ins decorated in a gilt greek-key pattern, marbled endpapers, edges speckled yellow. Atlas corners and caps expertly strengthened. Old and scattered oxidation stains to pp. 148-149 in Vol. II (text). Plate 10 with old, opaque stain to lower corner (into plate margin but not affecting image), four other plates with browning spots to lower blank margin. A truly exceptional set; beautifully bound, very tall and very clean. A splendid set of the first edition in contemporary bindings by one of the greatest binders of his day. The text of the first edition was issued simultaneously in octavo and quarto formats, both intended to be accompanied by the folio volume of plates. "The quarto volumes seem to have been printed so that they could be uniformly bound with the quarto La Pérouse volumes. The fine atlas volume is much prized as it is scarce and often found lacking from the set" (Hill). "No news had been received for three years respecting the ships Boussole and Astrolabe, commanded by M. de la Pérouse, when, early in the year 1791, the attention of the Constituent Assembly was called to the fate of that navigator and his companions. On February 9, 1791 a decree was passed on the subject, which directed (inter alia) that the King be petitioned to give orders for the fitting out of one or more ships, equipped with men of science, naturalists and draughtsmen, with the two-fold mission of searching for M. de la Pérouse and of making inquiries relative to the sciences and to commerce.Proceeding via the Cape of Good Hope to Tasmania, extensive investigations of its coastline were made. New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, the Admiralty Islands, Tonga, New Britain and other groups were visited, but although most searching inquiries were made, no trace of the missing navigator was found.The expedition made several important contributions to geographical knowledge, and the investigations of the naturalists into the productions of countries visited were of special value" (Ferguson 307). Labillardière was one of the naturalists accompanying the expedition; his is the first published account of this very important Pacific voyage. Ferguson, Australia, 307 and 682. Hill II 954.
