Description

North America - BARTRAM (William). Voyage dans les parties sud de l'Amérique septentrionale, savoir : les Carolines septentrionale et méridionale, la Georgie, les Florides orientale et occidentale, le pays des Cherokées, le vaste territoire des Muscogulges ou de la confédération Creek, et le pays des Chactaws ; contenant des détails sur le sol et les productions naturelles de ces contrées, et des observations sur les mœurs des Sauvages qui les habitent. Printed in Philadelphia, in 1791, and in London, in 1792, and translated from English by P-.V. Benoist. Paris, Carteret et Brosson, Dugour et Durand, An VII [1799]. 2 vol. in-8, marbled calf, ornate smooth spines, red titles and giblets (contemporary binding). Rubbed and scratched. First French translation of Travels through North and South Carolina, Georgia, East and West Florida, the Cherokee Country, etc., first published in 1791 at the Philadelphia address, as indicated in the title. 5 plates hors texte (including a portrait-frontispiece, 3 botanical plates and a large folding map). All the copies described by Chadenat include only 5 plates, and it is probable that Sabin's reference to 6 plates is an error on his part. This highly sought-after voyage took place from 1773 to 1776, and focused mainly on the natural history of the regions visited, as well as the customs of the Indian nations. In the United States, it is the foundation of a certain view of American "ingeniousness", with regard to landscapes and the continent's first occupants. (Sabin 3871 (reports 6 plates). Chadenat, 507 & 5315.) A few small brown spots. Plate 3 of vol. 2 is incomplete of its lower part (which must be rabbatue). A good copy.
