Voyage autour du monde, sur les corvettes de S.M. l’Uranie et la Phusicienne
Freycinet’s voyage onboard URANIE to the East Indies, Australia and the Pacific was one of the most important voyages of exploration ever made.
This official publication of the voyage, which appeared over twenty years under the direct supervision of Freycinet himself, is among the most handsome of all voyage accounts, probably the most beautiful of all the celebrated French grand voyages.
Nine volumes of text, four large atlases – three pictorial and one hydrographic – containing a total of about three hundred and twenty engraved plates and thirty-five maps.
