Voyage autour du monde, fait dans les années 1803, 1804, 1805 et 1806,

A very attractive example of the French edition of the first Russian circumnavigation, complete with the atlas volume not published with the English translation.

Though unsigned, the plates are thought to be the work of Tilesius, a naturalist on the voyage. They include a portrait of Krusentern, four of Nukuhiwa, eight of Japan (including the Ainu). The maps include three of the Marquesas, and four of Japanese interest. 'The atlas volume is very important and is difficult to obtain' (Hill).
