ABEL AUBERT DU PETIT-THOUARS (1793-1864)
Voyage autour du Monde sur la frégate la Vénus pendant les années 1836-1839. Paris: Gide, 1840-1846. 13 volumes only (text: 9 vols. only, 8° [223 x 142mm.]); plates: 3 vols, 2° [534 x 341mm.], maps: 1 vol., 2° [655 x 496mm.]). Text: 14 letterpress tables (10 folding), 3 folding engraved graphs, folding engraved map; Atlas vols: 107 plates (84 hand-coloured, 24 tinted), 18 maps (1 folding, 6 double-page). (Some spotting and browning). Uniformly bound to style in light brown calf-backed marbled boards, red and blue morocco lettering-pieces to spines.
A FINE NEAR-COMPLETE SET OF THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THIS IMPORTANT VOYAGE. 'This voyage, ostensibly to report on the whale fisheries in the Pacific, was political in nature. The presence of the frigate Vénus in ports around the world would be of value to French commerce and diplomacy. After rounding Cape Horn, the expedition made calls up the coast of South America, to Hawaii, Kamchatka, and to California in order to assist French traders who had been clamouring for support for some time. Dupetit-Thouars' account of his stay in California, in 1837, is one of the most important and complete records of the Mexican period. In 1838, the Vénus made a run for Easter Island, further investigated the coast of South America, then sailed for the Galapagos and Marquesas Islands, Tahiti, and New Zealand. At Tahiti, the expedition forced Queen Pomaré to write to the King of France apologizing for mistreatment of French priests, to pay an indemnity, and to salute the French flag. He had also made a treaty with Kamehameha III of Hawaii. After visits to Sydney and Mauritius, the ship sailed home, arriving after a voyage of thirty months' (Hill).
The set is complete, except for a single text volume and a 34pp. pamphlet, published in 1855 and 1864 respectively.
