Paris: G. de Gonet [et al]...[&] a Leipzig: Chez Charles Twietmeyer, 1850. Two volumes. [4],316pp. plus frontis and fifteen plates; [2],300pp. plus frontis and fifteen plates. Large octavo (27.5 x 18.7cm). Very handsome 20th century half tan morocco, raised bands, ruled in blind, lettered in gilt, and marbled boards, t.e.g., others rough-trimmed, with the original decorative pictorial rose-on- cream wrappers bound in. Occasional very minor foxing or dust-soiling, wrappers a trace soiled, with a couple of small edge mends, a handful of small creases or snags to the edges of the lace borders (see below), light rubbing to extremities, but a near fine, large, crisp set. First editions, in the most desirable form, with the texts printed on vélin, and with the frontispieces and plates (engraved by Geoffrey after Gavarni) delicately hand- colored. The plates are of particular interest, because in this format, they are printed on sheets with elaborate and delicate stencil-cut lace pattern frames and borders. The plates "are studies of beautiful women, fashionably attired for the most part, which were drawn in London. Méry wrote the 'fantasy' accompanying them to fit Gavarni's designs...[in] this special edition...Gavarni's designs become fashion plates of the first order" - Ray. "La réunion des deux ouvrages avec les gravures à marges de dentelles est assez rare à recontrer" - Carteret. RAY (FRENCH) 209a-210. CARTERET III:460-1. VICAIRE V:770-1.

Paris: Galerie Beaux-Arts, 1938.. Large octavo. Pictorial stiff wrappers (after a design by Tanguy). Very heavily illustrated with drawings, photographs, facsimiles, etc. Pale green wrappers somewhat tanned at edges, neatly recased, with shallow loss at crown and toe of spine, usual light foxing, otherwise a very good copy in lightly chipped and tanned glassine wrapper. This copy is significantly better than the norm for this book. First edition. A multi-disciplinary exercise in self-explanation, drawing on primary texts for the definition of terms and tendencies, and reproductions of artworks by those who at various times found or placed themselves under the umbrella of Surréalisme. The work was compiled to accompany the Exposition International du Surréalisme, organized by Breton and Eluard, with the assistance of Duchamp, Ernst, Dali and others, and the uncommon [8]pp. catalogue of the exhibition (inevitably a bit tanned) is laid in.

Description:
Melbourne: Oxford University Press Australia, October 1988. Hardcover. First Edition. Near Fine book in a Very Good jacket. Interior pristine. Spine straight and tight. Upper corners lightly bumped. Jacket lightly rubbed with a single one inch tear to front bottom edge. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. xiii + 347 pages. Over 300 illustrations. Heavy book: extra charges for expedited or international shipping.

Departing Le Havre in 1800, Baudin's expedition comprised two ships--the Naturaliste and the Géographe--and 238 men, including 22 scientists.
