‎BOUGAINVILLE (Hyacinthe-Yves de)‎

‎Journal de la navigation autour du globe de la frégate La Thétis et 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 volumes (3) grand in-4° (30x24,5cm), VIII pp., 742 pp., demi chagrin et coins époque, dos lisse avec auteur, titre et tomaison, frottements au dos, quelques rousseurs, défaut à la coiffe supérieure. Édition originale du texte du voyage du Bougainville autour du monde, manque l’atlas.‎

‎La mission comprenait notamment le rapatriement en France des effets et documents de l’expédition de La Pérouse conservés depuis 1793 à Port-Jackson par les Britanniques, les vestiges du naufrage n’ayant été identifiés que plus tard par Dillon. Ce geste, hautement symbolique, visait à solder un épisode majeur de l’histoire maritime française et à affirmer la continuité et la dignité de la marine royale puis impériale. À cette mission de prestige s’ajoutait une mission diplomatique de représentation, destinée à affirmer la présence française dans les grands ports de l’océan Indien, de l’Asie du Sud-Est, de la Chine et du Pacifique. En 2 tomes, le premier volume contient la relation complète du voyage, depuis le départ de Brest, le 2 mars 1824, jusqu'au retour dans ce port, le 24 juin 1826. Se trouvent également les instructions officielles adressées à Bougainville ainsi que la liste des officiers composant l'état-major (p. 25). Le parcours retracé dans ce premier volume mène les frégates de Brest aux îles Canaries, puis au cap de Bonne-Espérance, à l’île Bourbon, aux établissements français de l’Inde, au détroit de Malacca et à Singapour, aux Philippines et aux mers de Chine avec des relâches à Macao et sur les côtes de la Cochinchine, puis dans l’archipel indonésien. Le voyage se poursuit vers l’Australie, avec un long séjour à Port-Jackson, avant de traverser le Pacifique jusqu’aux côtes du Chili et au port de Valparaíso, de passer par les îles Malouines, de relâcher à Rio de Janeiro, et de regagner enfin la France et le port de Brest. Le second volume présente l’itinéraire de Valparaiso à Buenos-Aires effectué par Edmond de La Touanne par voie terrestre à travers les Andes et les Pampas, suivi du commentaire des planches de la partie historique par le même, de l'histoire naturelle par Lesson, et des observations astronomiques et météorologiques.

‎The Black Canoe: Bill Reid and the Spirit of Haida Gwaii‎

‎174 pages. "Bill Reid's Spirit of Haida Gwaii is no ordinary sculpture. Commissioned for the courtyard of the new Canadian chancery in Washington, D.C., it sits directly across from the National Gallery and is destined to become one of the major artistic landmarks of the capital and of the North American continent... Ulli Stelzer's photographs, taken over five years, record the genesis and development of the Black Canoe and of each creature within it. This sequence of nearly one hundred images offers detailed insight into the final form and reveals many aspects of the sculpture otherwise lost forever to view." - from dust jacket. Book clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Light wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. Nice copy. Book‎
