Folio; engraved title-page, 22 text pages, 52 engraved maps (of which 20 are double-page) by Ambroise Tardieu after Duperrey and others, and 4 engraved plates of various native sailing vessels by Berard after Duperrey and others. The Atlas of sea-charts published to accompany Duperrey's account of his circumnavigation. One of the major French Pacific voyages of the nineteenth century. Louis Isadore Duperrey, the leader of this expedition, had already circumnavigated the globe under Freycinet. Dumont-d'Urville, who would later lead his own expeditions in the Pacific, was Duperrey's second-in-command, and Rene Lesson was the naturalist of the voyage. The 'Coquille' called at Brazil, the Falkland Islands, Concepcion, Callao and Payta. In the Pacific, the ship visited the Tuamotu Archipelago, Tahiti and the Society Islands, Tonga, Rotuma, the Gilbert and Caroline Islands, and the Bismarck Archipelago. Australia was visited twice, and the explorations made of New Zealand and the Maori culture were particularly significant. Vast quantities of ethnographic and scientific data were collected. Before returning to Marseilles, Java, Mauritius, and Ascension were visited.
