About This Item
Paris: Remond, 1835. Very good overall. Exquisite stipple engraving of fish discovered on Dumont D'Urville's "Voyage de l'Astrolabe -- Zoologie". The French voyages in this period benefited from the French expansive world view, that saw artists & scientists accompanying the sailors on French voyages of exploration, recording scientific detail and assembling natural history collections. Jules Dumont D'Urville visited Australia twice, 1826-29 & 1837-40. His account of the second voyage was published in 1842 (text volumes); 1846 (atlas) and 1853 (natural history plates).
Folio, Image 16 x 10.5 in with large margins. Plate 1 from the "Poissons" section. Clean copy. Tide mark in margin, not near printed surface.
