Antique edition considered one of the finest of Daniel Defoe's famous text, undertaken by publisher Charles Panckoucke and published by his widow in 1800. It contains a life of the author by A.-G. Labaume and a translation of Defoe's famous novel by Thémiseul de Saint-Hyacinthe (1684-1746). The illustrations, in the first edition, include a portrait of the author engraved by Rémi Delvaux (1848?-1923), 3 engraved titles adorned with a different vignette for each volume, 18 out-of-text figures including 15 engraved by Delvaux, and not Delignon as indicated on the engraved titles, after compositions by the English painter and draftsman Thomas Stothard (1755-1834), and 3 engraved by Jean-Baptiste-Michel Dupréel and Jean-Louis Delignon after Duvivier. Also at the end of the first volume is a Mappemonde of the Eastern and Western hemispheres, showing the itinerary of Robinson's voyage, engraved by P. F. Tardieu. This edition actually contains 15 plates. The 3 by Duvivier found in the third volume, as in several copies in later bindings, come from the 1816 reprint, a detail not given by Cohen.
