Printed by Taylor, Nash & Taylor. 5" x 7 1/4." Twenty pages, complete. Black-and-white plates, complete. Pages are virtually pristine and intact except for light age toning throughout. Covers are very clean and intact except for slight wear to extremities, slight darkening, and a few wrinkles to the paper on front. A Fine copy. This book comprises the first English translation of one chapter from Louis Choris's work, Voyage Pittoresque Autour du Monde, avec des Portraits de Sauvages d'Amerique, d'Asie, d'Afrique, et des Isles du Grand Ocean; des Paysages, des Vues Maritimes, et Plusieurs Objets d'Histoire Naturelle (1822). This chapter was translated by Porter Garnett. In the chapter, Choris describes multiple aspects of San Francisco and California while he was visiting the coast of California in 1816 aboard the Russian ship, Rurik. At the time, Choris was employed on the Rurik as an artist for the Romanzoff expedition led by Otto von Kotzbue. Kotzbue's goal was to find a northwest passage. Much of Choris's writing in this chapter gives a description of the different Indigenous tribes of Northern California from a Western perspective. He discusses the lifestyles of the Indigenous people who spent part of the year at the missions and the other part of the year in the mountains. Choris also writes briefly about other parts of Spanish history and the sea otter fur trade in early California. Interspersed among the text are full-page black-and-white plates showing reproductions of Choris's art and comparatively modern printed photographs of San Francisco in the year 1913. Most of Choris's artworks depicted herein show portraits of Indigenous people and aspects of their culture such as their clothing, playing games, hunting, and dances. In a brief Translator's Note, Garnett discusses the life of Choris. Louis Choris (1795-1828) was a German-Russian painter and explorer. During the 1816 expedition to California, Choris documented the culture and lives of the Ohlone people at the San Francisco missions through his art. Choris also spent time in France. In 1827, he embarked on a journey from France to South America and Mexico. Sadly, Choris was killed by robbers in 1828 while en route to Vera Cruz, Mexico. The printer of this book, Taylor, Nash & Taylor, was a noted printing firm based in San Francisco. The company was founded by brothers Edward DeWitt Taylor and Henry H. Taylor at the turn of the century. John Henry Nash joined the Taylors' firm from 1911-1915 to form Taylor, Nash & Taylor.

Peter Lang Verlag. 1999. gr. 8°. 428 (4) Seiten. Originaleinband Rund 180 Jahre nachdem der deutsch-russische Maler Ludwig York Choris sein Journal über die zweite russische Weltumsegelung (1815-1818) verfasste, kann der Leser die Reise auf der Brig Rurik (Kapitän Otto von Kotzebue) mitmachen. Mit der Begeisterung der Jugend schildert der grosse Künstler die Höhen und auch die Tiefen einer der letzten Entdeckungsreisen zur See. Dabei legt er Gewicht auf Hawai'i und andere Inseln der Südsee, wobei aber auch Brasilien, Chile, die Beringstrasse, Kalifornien, die Philippinen und Südafrika nicht zu kurz kommen. Interessant sind seine ethnologischen und künstlerischen Beobachtungen, wie auch Schilderungen von Ereignissen an Bord, die im offiziellen Expeditionsbericht nicht zu finden sind. Das Journal wurde von Donald Angus, einem in Honolulu wohnhaften Kunstsammler, in einer Bibliothek in Paris wiederentdeckt und stellt einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Ethnologie, Kunstwissenschaft und Geschichte des früheren neunzehnten Jahrhunderts dar. - Sehr Gutes Exemplar.

One of the most beautiful of all Pacific voyage plate books, and one of the rarest. Often, there is considerable foxing to the text leaves and browning to the plates, but there is almost no evidence of this in the present copy, which is in a superb contemporary Russian binding. Unsigned, it is in the style of lavish French bindings of the 19th century, and is the work of an unknown Russian binder of considerable skill.Choris, a Russian of German stock, was only 20 when he was appointed as draughtsman on the Kotzebue expedition of 1815-1818. This, his great work, was first issued in 22 parts between 1820 and 1822, most of the views do not appear in the later official accounts of the expedition published in Germany and Russia. The many beautiful plates include views and scenes of native life, artefacts, plants, shells and animals. They show California (several views of San Francisco), Hawaii (including the first view of Honolulu), Alaska, and various parts of Micronesia.Three issues of the plates were published. (1) Without any colouring, (2) with 25 natural history plates coloured (as here), and (3) with all plates coloured. Moreover, the book itself seems to exits in two issues, the earlier (as here) with an 1820 title page as well as another dated 1822, and the later issue with only an 1822 title page. A number of plates were later reworked by Choris and exist in variant states. The present copy appears to consist entirely of first states, and we are certain that the plate of the dancing women in Hawaii (plate XVI) is in its first state, identified by Lada-Mocarski with the plain back background.The list of subscribers accounts for only 188 copies, including the Emperor of Russia, and the King of France. 57 copies were made for subscribers in Russia, including 10 for the Emperor and 20 for Prince Gallitzin, one of the emperor's ministers. The lavish binding indicates that this copy may have been for presentation purposes and thus may well been one of these 30 "official" copies.The most beautiful book on the north Pacific, this has more early views of Hawaii, Alaska, and California than any other. It is "one of the valuable and fundamental works on Alaska, California, and the Hawaiian Islands"(Lada-Mocarskia) and "one of the most beautiful books of travel in existence" (Hill).With the book plate of Frederick E. Ellis, Shaw Island on the front pastedown, the binding shows slight signs of wear, mainly around the hinges, some occasional slight browning and foxing. Otherwise in very good condition. A remarkable work on the Pacific with beautiful plates, in a magnificent Russian binding.l Cowan, I, 47; Forbes, Hawaiian National Bibliography, 541; Forbes, Treasures, 29; Hawaii One Hundred, 27; Hill 290; Lada-Mocarski 84; Nissen, ZBI, 881; Sabin 12884; Soliday I, 592a (extremely rare); Streeter 2461; Wickersham 6676.
