JULES SEBASTIEN CÉSAR DUMONT D'URVILLE (1790-1842)
Voyage au Pole Sud et dans l'Océanie sur les Corvettes L'Astrolabe et la Zélée pendant les années 1837-1838-1839-1840. Paris: Gide, 1846. 2 volumes of Atlas Pittoresque only, 2° (535 x 340mm.). 198 lithographed plates only, some tinted, 8 double-page maps and charts. (Lacking frontispiece and plate 16 in volume one, closed tear to plate 68, a few plates browned, mainly marginally, occasional mainly light spotting). Contemporary black calf-backed boards (wear to edges, rubbed and scuffed).
FIRST EDITION. This "magnificent work" (Sabin 21216) was published with text volumes, and the accompanying atlas volumes on botany, anthropology, minerology & geology, zoology and hydrography.
The author set off in 1837 on his third voyage to the southern oceans in order to pursue ethnographic and linguistic studies and planned an extensive exploration of the Pacific and polar regions. He commanded one of the two ships the Astrolabe, whilst the other, the Zélée, was commanded by Captain Charles-Hector Jacquinot.
Upon his return to France in 1840 he was promoted to Rear Admiral, awarded the gold medal of the Société de Géographie, and received a royal command from King Louis-Phillipe to publish an account of the voyage. Having completed the first three volumes and the first three chapters of the fourth he was killed in a railway accident in May 1842. The remaining text volumes were completed by Jacquinot.
