Originally published in French in 1797 this is one of two English-language translations published in 1798. This edition preceded earlier in the year by the Johnson edition which had only 41 plates. "The narrative of the enterprising but ill-fated Pérouse is full of interest in all portions but his relations of the peculiarities he observed in the natives of the northwest coast of North America are especially valuable. The mysterious fate of this distinguished navigator has never been satisfactorily cleared up. The above account was transmitted from Botany Bay after leaving this place the expedition was never heard of again" Sabin. In fact recent investigations into the fate of La Perouse have determined that both ships in the expedition were wrecked on the reefs of Vanikoro in the Solomon Islands.

1798rif. 003681G. G & J. Robinson. LA PAROUSE John Francis Galaup; DUCHÉ DE VANCY Jean Baptiste; HEATH James: Tombs of Baie de Castries. An engraving from Charts and Plates to La Pérouse's Voyage London: G. G. & J. Robinson 1798. Copper engraving 310 × 230 mm plate on laid paper with good margins; plate mark visible; light overall toning and a few faint spots with a shallow horizontal fold as issued otherwise in very good condition. A view of the tombs at Baie de Castries showing a small settlement with two figures in the foreground and the distinctive raised wooden burial structures. Bais de Castries described in contemporary sources as lying on the eastern coast of Tartary corresponds to the North Pacific explored by La Perouse in 1787 in the region now identified with the northwest coast of America southeast Alaska. The drawing was made by Jean-Baptiste Louis Claude Théodore duc de Vancy one of the official artists attached to the expedition of Jean-François de Galaup comte de La Pérouse whose role was to record landscapes sites and customs encountered during the voyage. La Perouse and his crew wouldn't make it back to Paris with it latterly being discovered that his ship was wrecked at Vanikoro now the Solomon Islands. The plate was engraved in London by James Heath among the leading line engravers of the late eighteenth century and published by G. G. & J. Robinson for the atlas volume Charts and Plates to La Pérouse's Voyage Round the World issued in 1798 as part of the English edition of the expedition's results. . Very Good.

1815rif. 183470Milano: Sonzogno e Compagni Editori 1815. One of the finest narratives of maritime exploration ever written First Italian edition. The most significant results of La Pérouse's voyage are the details of "the peculiarities he observed in the natives of the North West coast of North America which are especially valuable" Sabin. La Pérouse's account was originally published in French in 1797 this edition was published as part of the series Raccolta di Viaggi dopo quelli di Cook. La Pérouse's 1741-c.1788 expedition left France in 1785 to seek an inter-oceanic passage examining the parts of the Pacific not yet explored by Cook conducting scientific observations on the various peoples and regions assessing the extent of Spanish settlement in California and determining the possibilities of French expansion in the Pacific. En route to Kamchatka La Pérouse was the first to navigate safely and chart the Japan Sea and the strait between the island of Sakhalin and the northernmost island of Japan which bears his name. At Kamchatka he received instructions to proceed to Australia to assess the extent of British plans in New South Wales. Travelling via Samoa where he discovered the islands of Savaii Manono and Apolima in December 1787 and through the Tongan group he arrived at Botany Bay in January 1788 just hours after Captain Phillip had arrived with the First Fleet. La Pérouse's habit of forwarding despatches whenever the opportunity offered ensured their survival; the final despatches were sent from Botany Bay after which the expedition was never seen again. Evidence slowly came to light that both ships were wrecked on the reefs around the islands north-west of Australia. Forbes examined three copies at the Alexander Turnbull Library the collection of Rodney Davidson and the University of Washington Seattle; none of these nor the four other copies he cites have the portrait. This copy also does not include the frontispiece portrait. 4 vols bound in 2 small octavo 164 x 99 mm pp. xxviii 236 28 pp. 294; pp. 271 pp. 297 14. With 16 plates coloured folding map.

1827rif. 4011312Livorno: Tipografia Vignozzi 1827. Three leaves a little short at the margins printer's error a little foxing but very good. Three volumes duodecimo three frontispieces and three plates all with good contemporary handcolouring; contemporary quarter roan binding lettered in gilt marbled boards with vellum tips. Attractive early Italian edition of La Pérouse's voyage containing six charming coloured plates three of which are not recorded in the standard bibliographies. The first of these unrecorded plates is a costume study captioned "Uomo e Donna volgari della Concezione"; the second a view of Macao and the third depicts the death of botanist and savant Robert de Lamanon amidst a melée in Samoa during 1787. Neither Ferguson Forbes nor McLaren note the three plates additional to the frontispieces. Forbes did not in fact manage to inspect a copy of the book. Ferguson cites his own copy while McLaren consulted the Nan Kivell copy held by the National Library. This edition was part of a larger collection of voyages published in uniform duodecimo format with the series title Biblioteca Istruttiva e Piacevole ovvero raccolta dei più interessanti viaggi. Forbes confirms that each of the voyages was available separately. The spines in this set number the volumes within the series. . Tipografia Vignozzi unknown
1815rif. 57571Milano: Dalla Tipografia Sonzogno e Comp. 1815. Italian Edition of La Pérouse in Remarkable Original Condition The first Italian edition of La Pérouse's monumental journey here in beautiful original condition and rarely encountered thus. "La Pérouse's expedition was one of the most important scientific explorations ever undertaken to the Pacific and the west coast of North America.The charge to the expedition was to examine such parts of the region as had not been explored by Captain Cook; to seek for an interoceanic passage; to make scientific observations on the various countries peoples and products; to obtain reliable information about the fur trade and the extent of Spanish settlements in California; and to promote the inducements for French enterprise in that quarter.La Pérouse and his men did important geographical research including visits to Easter Island the first on-shore visit to Hawaii by Europeans Macao Formosa the Aleutian Islands Samoa Tonga and Australia.The voyage also included the first foreign scientific group ever to visit Alta California.La Pérouse sent dispatches back to France from Kamchatka and Botany Bay." - Hill. La Pérouse sent back copies of his journals throughout the journey both overland across Russia and via British ships met at Botany Bay in the spring of 1788. After he left Australia his party was never seen again and it was not until the 1820s that the wrecks of his ships were discovered on a reef in the Santa Cruz group. When it became clear that something had happened to the expedition a decision was made to publish the journals he had transmitted home. This first Italian edition printed in Milan in 1815 as the first in a series of post-Cook voyages published by Sonzogno e Compagni precedes the first Italian edition of Cook and is testament to La Pérouse's enduring popularity on the continent. Very rare in any state this copy is untrimmed and complete in original wrappers. Included are the frontispiece portrait of La Pérouse often lacking all sixteen beautiful colored plates the folding map subscriber lists in both the first and fourth volumes and laid-in publisher's circulars in volumes three and four.
