This most romantic voyage image from the 1821 French edition of Krusenstern’s Voyage Autour du Monde has been aptly described as giving a “Midsummer Night’s Dream” vision of the Pacific. This is the first French edition of the account of Krusenstern’s voyage: the beautiful atlas of plates, which appears only in this edition, ‘is very important and is difficult to obtain…’ (Hill). From our latest catalogue now online here.
