Omtale

This four-volume collection showcasing discoveries by French explorers appeared in Paris in the mid-nineteenth century. The first two volumes contain Dumont d'Urville's lightly fictionalised, illustrated, popular account of his voyages, originally published in 1832. Volume 1 covers d'Urville's travels through Asia to French Polynesia, and reproduces the 1863 printing.
