Quatriesme Voyage du Sr de Champlain
Samuel de Champlain, 1613
CHAMPLAIN, Samuel de (1567-1635). [Quatriesme Voyage du Sr de Champlain Capitaine Ordinaire pour Le Roy en La Marine, et Lieutenant de Monseigneur le Prince de Condé en la Nouvelle France, fait en l’année 1613. Paris: Jean Berjon, 1613.]
First appearance of Champlain’s fourth voyage of 1613 to the Ottawa River Valley, being the final part only of Champlain’s Voyages of 1613. At this point in his life, Champlain had already learned of Hudson Bay, journeyed up the St. Lawrence River, explored the Bay of Fundy, founded Québec, and discovered the great lake that would bear his name: Lake Champlain. On his return to France he was ready to promote his successes and spur on the fur trade. He set the publication of the Voyages underway and then left for New France again on this, his fourth voyage. He reached the mouth of the Ottawa River in late May 1613 and explored all summer, including to the future site of Ottawa, the present-day capital of Canada, at the mouths of the Gatineau and Rideau rivers. He returned to Paris by October where the publication of the Voyages was still in progress. He added this final part, with separate pagination and a section title, and incorporated his discoveries into the second state of the Hudson Bay map (see previous lot). Alden & Landis 613⁄30; Church 360; Harrisse 27; Lande 116; Sabin 11835; Streeter sale 3630.
Quarto (230 x 170mm). Section title. 52 pages. (Page corners a little rounded, few spots.) Modern blindstamped calf to style. Provenance: Ernest E. Keet (bookplate).
