BOUGAINVILLE (Hyacinthe-Yves-Philippe-Potentien de). Journal de la navigation autour du globe de la frégate La Thétis de la corvette L'espérance pendant les années 1824, 1825 et 1826, publié par ordre du Roi sous les auspices du département de la marine. Paris, Arthus Bertrand, 1837. 2 vols. large in-4 of text and 1 volume large in-folio of atlas uniformly bound in green half-chagrin with corners, spines richly decorated, double gilt fillet framing the boards (period binding). First edition illustrated with 56 hors-texte plates, including 12 color natural history plates and 10 double or folding maps. (Sabin 6875.) Bougainville's round-the-world expedition from 1824 to 1826 had a primarily political and diplomatic aim, to show the King's flag in the seas and develop feelings of esteem and friendship for France. La Thétis rounded the Cape of Good Hope before arriving at Bourbon Island, where she met up with the corvette l'Espérance from Rio de Janeiro. Bougainville then headed for Singapore via Pondicherry, the Strait of Malacca, Manila and Macao. The expedition then reached the western coast of Australia, arriving in Sydney. The two ships then crossed the Pacific to Valparaiso. After rounding Cape Horn, it was on to Rio de Janeiro, before returning to France and arriving in Brest on June 23, 1826. The considerable collection of natural history and ornithological specimens brought back by the expedition will be recognized as one of the most important ever seen in France. A fine copy, whose atlas, although much larger in format, is uniformly bound with the text, which is unusual. Scattered freckling and light marginal spotting.
