paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Explanation of the plates (vii-xii). 48 plates [counting pl. XLIV bis. as separate plate] (46 leaves).Francois (Francis) Garnier (1839 ?1873) was a French officer, inspector of Indigenous Affairs of Cochinchina and explorer. He eventually became mission leader of the Mekong Exploration Commission in 19th century Southeast Asia. The publication of this travelogue was limited to 300 copies. ?The first volume, written by Garnier, is a travelogue of the harrowing journey through Southeast Asia. Although this official account was heavily censored by the French Naval Ministry, a more complete version of this text had previously been published in instalments in the journal Le tour du monde. Garnier presents an adventure where the expedition leader died, its members were rifled with disease and ultimately made a long journey barefoot due to the total disintegration of the expeditioners? shoes. A description of the expedition?s detour to the temple complex of Angkor Wat did much to propagate the image of Angkor in Europe. The hundreds of woodcuts after drawings made by Louis Delaporte illustrate the monuments, landscapes, and people of Indochina. A second volume presents the scientific findings of the expedition and contains contributions on topics such as meteorology, geology, mineralogy, anthropology, and botany. The large-scale atlas volume contains numerous maps and lithographs of the most spectacular of Delaporte?s drawings, including some in colour.?, A near fine example of this rare complete but composite set of the first edition of Garnier?s travelogue and scientific study of Indochina, undertaken in the years 1866-1869 with the intention to inspect the navigability of the Mekong River. 3 volumes, including the atlas. 125 plates: vol I with 49 pages of plates; vol II with 6; atlas with 70 (plate XLIV bis. counted as separate from plate XLIV). In addition to over 150 in-text illustrations and vignettes. Some plates double-page, folding-out, or printed multiple to a page.
