FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF TRAVEL, GEOGRAPHY & NATURAL HISTORY in two volumes on the voyage around the world made by René Primevère Lesson (1794-1849) a French surgeon, naturalist, ornithologist, and herpetologist. 42 beautiful detailed full-page illustrations, 19 of which are hand-colored and engraved by the best French illustrators. The two volumes of 1838-1839 narrate the circumnavigation around the world exploring South America, South Pacific, Oceania, Melanesia, Australia, New Zealand, Papua - New Guinea, Polynesia, Tahiti, Solomon Islands and many islands in the Tropics of South East Asia and Indian Ocean. 19 hand-colored illustrations of birds, parrots, animals, birds of paradise, marsupials, kangaroo, kiwi, opossum, platypus, wombat, mammals and rare exotic species documented here for the first time. Lesson was the first European to observe birds-of-paradise in the wild. The black and white illustrations in this work also include plates of views, objects, idols and tools of the local natives, as well as coastal profiles, as well as vocabularies of indigenous tribes such as the Maori of New Zealand. Two original half-leather covers from the period, beautiful gold decorations, and in excellent condition.

FIRST EDITION of "Voyage autour du Monde, entrepris par ordre du gouvernement sur la Corvette La Coquille" in two volumes, of the account of Louis-Isidore Duperrey's voyage published by René Primevère Lesson, the expedition's naturalist. The illustration consists of 42 figures outside the text, including 19 natural history plates in attractive period colors. René Lesson was a zoologist and surgeon on the voyage of the Coquille, 1822-25, and he helped write the volume on zoology for the official narrative and prepare the atlas. Thirteen years later in 1838-1839, Lesson published his own narrative of the voyage, and included a number of plates that did not appear in the official publication of Louis-Isidore Duperrey. Lesson's account remains the only full printed account of Duperrey's expedition, alongside Dumont d'Urville's Observations personelles. 'The expedition achieved notable scientific results and corrections to maps, accumulated much meteorological data, and brought back many rock samples and botanical specimens’ (Hill). The iconography of the "Voyage autour du Monde" is exceptional, all the 41 illustrations are well engraved, detailed, with tissue guard and in good condition.

AUTHOR: René Primevère Lesson (1794-1849) was a French surgeon, naturalist, ornithologist, and herpetologist. Lesson was born at Rochefort, and entered the Naval Medical School in Rochefort at the age of sixteen. He served in the French Navy during the Napoleonic Wars; in 1811, he was third surgeon on the frigate Saale, and in 1813, was second surgeon on the Regulus. In 1816, Lesson changed his classification to pharmacist. He served on Duperrey's round-the-world voyage of La Coquille (1822–1825), of which he collected natural history specimens with his fellow surgeon Prosper Garnot and officer Dumont d'Urville. During his visits to the Moluccas and New Guinea, Lesson became the first naturalist to see birds of paradise in the wild. On returning to Paris, he spent seven years preparing the section on vertebrates for the official account of the expedition: "Voyage autour du monde entrepris par ordre du Gouvernement sur la corvette La Coquille" (published from 1826 to 1839). During this time period, he also produced "Manuel d'Ornithologie" (1828), "Traité d'Ornithologie" (1831), "Centurie Zoologique" (1830–1832) and "Illustrations de Zoologie" (1832–35). Lesson also published several monographs on hummingbirds and one book on birds of paradise. In the field of herpetology he described many new species of amphibians and reptiles. On 3 February 1827, he married the artist and scientific illustrator Clémence Dumont de Sainte-Croix. Dumont de Sainte-Croix along with her sister Zoë Dumont de Sainte-Croix illustrated plates in Lesson's publications. From 1831, he served as a professor of pharmacy, and following a series of promotions, became the top-ranking naval pharmacist at Rochefort (1835). His experience as a ship's surgeon resulted in his two-volume "Manuel d'histoire naturelle medicale, et de pharmacographie" (1833), intended as a handbook for naval surgeons. He became a corresponding member of the Académie de Médecine in 1828, later becoming a correspondent of the Académie des Sciences (1833). He received the Légion d'honneur in 1847.
