AUGUSTE DUHAUT-CILLY (1790-1849).
Voyage Autour du Monde, principalement a la Californie et aux Iles Sandwich, pendant les années 1826, 1827, 1828, et 1829. Paris and Saint-Servan: J.-M. Lebien for Arthus Bertrand and D. Lemarchand, 1834-1835. 2 volumes, 8° (204 x 133mm). Half-titles, errata leaves, 4 lithographic plates on India paper, 2 folding. (2 plates a little spotted, endpaper and first gathering vol. II partly detached.) Calf-backed contemporary marbled boards, spines with gilt morocco lettering-pieces (spines renewed).
EXCEEDINGLY RARE FIRST EDITION of the first foreign account of Spanish California 'by a literate and observant French trader' (Hill). Duhaut-Cilly landed at Yerba Buena and was on the California coast from 1827 to 1828 attempting to conduct trade between Mazatlan and Fort Ross in his ship the Héros. He had little success. He was, however, the first outsider to become intimately acquainted with Spanish California and left the best record of its missions, presidios and pueblos, and an excellent pictorial record. This is amongst the rarest of the early voyages touching on California and was the first of several French attempts to conduct trade along the California and Northwest Pacific coast. The detailed lithographs from his drawings are of Monterey, Mission San-Luis Rey, Honolulu, and the first pictorial representation of Fort Ross. In Hawaii he made excursions to Waialua and Pearl Harbor and wrote very interesting remarks on native life, the missions and, in particular, American and English whaling ships and crews. Hill 499; Forbes 882; Howes 547; Sabin 21164; Zamorano 80, no. 31.
