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.

Three volumes. 9 by 16 cm.

Full contemporary basane, 5-rib spine, ornate bindings, red title page. Small blemish at bottom of spine of volume II, spine edges faded. Few brown spots, otherwise good condition inside. Three of the 5 volumes in this edition of DAMPIER's voyage. Volume 1: New voyage around the world... Volume 2: Continuation of Voyage autour du monde (with treatise on winds) Volume 3: Supplément du Voyage autour du monde (including a description of Achin, city of Sumatra, the kingdom of Tonquin & other places in the Indies & the baye de Campêche). An orphan from Weymouth in Dorset, William Dampier (1651-1715) was the first Englishman to land in Australia and the first navigator to circumnavigate the globe three times. His work, originally published in English in 1697, caused a sensation: despite his buccaneering activities, his hydrographic, geographical and scientific observations won him academic acclaim.
