KRUZENSHTERN, Ivan Fedorovich (1770-1846). Voyage autour du monde: fait dans les années 1803, 1804, 1805 et 1806, par les ordres de sa Majesté Impériale Alexandre 1er, Empereur de Russie sur les vaisseaux la Nadiejada et la Néva. Paris: Librairie de Gide fils, 1821.
The first French edition, complete with the fine and rare atlas volume. It is believed that Kruzenshtern himself prepared this French translation. “The plates include four of the Marquesans, five Japanese plates, and two of the Ainu people. The charts include those of the Washington Iles and Port Ana Maria Nukuhiva and Port Tschitschagoff, Nukuhiva; Nagasaki and one of Japan, Sakhalin, the Kuriles, and Baie d’Awatscha” (Forbes). RBH and ABPC record only one other copy of the atlas having sold at auction. Forbes 530; Hill 953 (“the atlas volume is very important and is difficult to obtain”); Howes K-272; cf. Lada-Mocarski 61 & 62; Sabin 38332; Tourville 2565; Wickersham 6238.
Two text volumes, octavo (210 x 135mm) and one atlas volume, folio (430 x 280mm). Atlas with 30 plates, comprising lithographed views and a portrait, and engraved maps, 3 of these double-page maps. Text volumes in original boards (rebacked); atlas in modern boards to match. Provenance: Reg & Philip Remington, Books.
