It offers in pre-publication all the great exploration stories - in original French editions or in translation - of the period, especially those from the last terra incognita: Central Africa and the Poles. Aware of new readers' interest in all that was stirring minds at the time, Louis Hachette sought to surround himself with enterprising collaborators to whom he could entrust the direction of new collections. Édouard Charton had founded and directed the Magasin pittoresque in 1833, then helped launch L'Illustration in 1843. Louis Hachette entrusted him with the management of this new journal devoted to travel, which was to introduce readers to the new expeditions that were setting out to discover the world, with the editor responsible for "informing his readers [...] of the fatigues they have endured, the dangers of all kinds they have encountered, the curiosities of the countries they have visited, and the manners and customs of the inhabitants". (Archives Hachette, quoted by J.-Y. Mollier). Numerous woodcut illustrations in and out of text. Exceptional edition on chine from the first twenty years of publication. Spotting due to damp on some lower corners, but overall of fine quality.
