Contemporary French quarter calf marbled boards gilt (worn at the extremities, hinges weak).

Provenance: Bookplates of Herbert McLean Evans (1882-1971), pioneering endocrinologist, on the front paste-downs of the text volumes. First edition of ". . .one of the most important works on the northwestern coast, including Alaska" (Lada-Mocarski). Duflot de Mofras was sent to Mexico in 1839 as French Ambassador, "but his special mission was to explore and evaluate the commercial possibilities of California and the Oregon Territory, in order that the French government would be better able to decide whether to become involved in the conflict over Oregon between the U.S. and Great Britain" (Hill). This extensive and detailed account of his journey includes the western coast of America from Tehuantepec to the Bering Strait, Vancouver Island, and the Fraser River. Howes describes Duflot de Mofras' account, which was: "Issued under French government auspices, [and] forms an admirable supplement to Humboldt's account of the same region and is the only early illustrated work on the Pacific coast comparable in beauty to the 'Voyage pittoresque' of Choris or to Litké's account of the Russian survey of the northwest coast." The atlas volume contains some magnificent plates of Monterey, California missionary Father Duran, Californian throwing the lasso, and the large and spectacular "Vue de la Mission de Saint Louis Roi de France dans la Nouvelle Californie". The charts and maps of California include the ports of San Diego, San Pedro, Santa Barbara, Monterey, Trinity, San Francisco, and Fort Ross. The large engraved map, one of the greatest western maps, extends along the west coast from Mount St. Elias to Acapulco and east as far as Hudson Bay, Fort Leavenworth, and Austin, Texas. Wheat describes this map: "A landmark.because it made these western regions known in European official circles. De Mofras was much interested in travel routes. East of Santa Fe he noted the 'Route des Chariots des Etats-Unis,' and (for the first time on any published map?) he showed what later came to be called 'The Old Spanish Trail'. De Mofras really should have been a California 'realtor.' For example, in the.interior valley of California he says: 'Cette immense Valleé comprise entre la Sierra Nevada et les Mts. Californiens [the Coast Range], est arrosée de petites rivières et remplie de lagunes d'eau douce très poissonneuses. Ce pays est plus beau encore que la partie habitée de la Californie, son climat est plus doux, il presente des terrains fertiles, des bois de construction superbes et de vastes prairies ou paissent de troupeaux de Certs, d'Antilopes, de Taureaux et de Chevaux sauvages.' [De Mofras] was a sturdy soul, and his highly original map has much to commend it".
