Part One: MAPS and PLANS drawn up by Messrs Doudart de Lagrée, Francis Garnier and Lieutenant Delaporte. Part Two: PITTORAL ALBUM based on drawings by M. le lieutenant de vaisseau Delaporte. Paris, Hachette et Cie, 1873. 2 parts in one in-folio volume (without the 2 volumes of text); brown half-chagrin with corners, spine with ornate nerves (period binding). Numerous scuff marks. First edition. First part (maps and plans): [3] ff. (faux-titre, title, table) and 22 plates, 4 of which on double page. Second part (album pittoresque): XII pp. (faux-titre, title, introduction and explanation of plates): 37 (of 48) lithographs after Janet-Lange, Clerget, Laurens, Gilbert, Ciceri... including 8 (of 14) in color, the others in black on tinted background, some on double page. Missing plates 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 32, 35, 38, 43. Plates 11-12, 13-14, 21, 24 and 25 are detached, lightly browned (some with thumbtack marks at corners). Old circular staining and very slight marginal soiling to the rest of the plates and maps. Apart from these defects, overall good condition. Marie Joseph François Garnier dit Francis Garnier (1839-1873) was a French naval officer and explorer. He became famous for spending most of his life exploring the Mekong. His career as an officer and his heroic end made him one of the leading figures in French naval history. This expedition, under the command of Doudart de Lagrée, set out from Saigon in June 1866, under the patronage of Vice-Admiral de La Grandière, to sail up the Mekong. As second-in-command, Garnier was in charge of hydrography, meteorology and charting the voyage. On Doudart de Lagrée's death in Yunnan, he took charge of the mission, heading for the Yangtze valley and down to Shanghai. He returned to Saigon two years after leaving, in June 1868. He immediately returned to France, where he was assigned to the Dépôt des cartes et plans de la Marine, and completed his mission report. Very slight rubbing to edges of boards and cuts. A very fine copy, with an extremely well-preserved interior, free of foxing, and very fresh colors. Rare first edition at 800 copies. (Cordier Sinica, 329; Indonisica, 1012-13; Howgego II, 340-343; Numa Broc Asie, 206; Chadenat 54.)
