Reliures en demi chagrin maroquiné rouge, dos à quatre nerfs sertis de filets noirs, plats de papier marbré, gardes et contreplats de papier à la cuve, couvertures conservées (sauf le second du 1er vol.), reliures modernes. Quelques rousseurs principalement au début du premier volume. Le chapitre sur la Nouvelle-Calédonie occupe les pp. 257 à 350 du tome I ; celui sur Tahiti les pp. 177 à 282 du tome II. L'auteur a en outre visité et décrit la Tasmanie, les îles Chesterfield et Bampton, la Nouvelle-Zélande, Hawaii et les îles Sandwich. Voir la notice de Forbes, qui signale les passages concernant Hawaii: "Thiercelin made two Pacific voyages. The first was on the whaleship Ville de Bordeaux, which departed from Havre January 5, 1837, and returned January 5, 1841. He states (p. 284) that at the end of september 1839 the ship spent several weeks at Waimea, Kauai. This narrative concentrates on his second voyage on the Gustav, which departed from Havre, April 7, 1863, and returned in 1865. During the course of this voyage (particularly with respect to New Zealand and to Hawaii) the author describes conditions observed on his first voyage () A chapter titled Atouai [in vol. II] describes Waimea, Kauai (pp. 283-326)". Thiercelin avait participé en qualité de médecin de bord à plusieurs expéditions de chasse à la baleine avant de s'embarquer pour ce voyage en Océanie et dans le Pacifique. "[He] was greatly interested in the actual proceedings of a whale hunt and wished to experiment with new harpoons as a surer and speedier method of keeling whales () This book offers an interesting account of whaling vessels and their crews, a detailed description of the different types of whales, details of the actual whale hunt, and explanations of some of the newer whaling techniques such as poisoned harpoons and harpoons with explosive charges propelled by gun-like mechanisms" [Hill]. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition, very scarce (see O'Reilly, Nouvelle Calédonie, 175.

Primera edición en un magnífico y bien conservado ejemplar en su estado original. Procendente de la biblioteca de Gonzalo de Murga (1830-1882) intrépido viajero y escritor de temas naúticos. Este es un relato en forma de "Diario" de los tiempos pasados durante la caza de las ballenas; de particular interés por sus relatos sobre Hawai y Nueva Zelanda, escrito por un personage "doctor" Louis Thiercelin, que se embarcó por vez primera en 1837, en el ballenero "La Ville de Bordeaux" y volvió a Francia (Le Havre) cuatro años mas tarde, por el camino habia perdido sus colecciones de curiosidades, animales vivos, pájaros disecados, armas y vestidos de los "salvajes", etc. Volveria años después (1861) a tomar "le bourdon de pèlerin" para iniciar otra ronda de viajes a lugares exóticos (Africa); y finalmente de 1863 a 1865, el segundo viaje a las tierras de Oceánia. Sus observaciones sobre el desarrollo de las nuevas poblaciones y el impacto de los europeos en aquellas tierras es de gran interés; dedica dos capítulos a las islas de Hawai, uno de 1839 y otro de 1864. Tambien incluye datos y noticias de sus observaciones sobre Madeira, Liberia, Tahití, Tasmania, Chatham Islands, Saint Paul islands, New Amsterdam, Chesterfield y Bampton Coral Islans, Nueva Caledonia, etc. La vida diaria en los balleneros, las tripulaciones y detalles sobre la caza de las ballenas, dando a conocer algunas formas de caza muy poco respectuosas con las mismas. Tambien incluye noticias sobre el trato dado a los indígenas por las comunidades de comerciantes pertenecientes a la corona inglesa y la española, evidentemente sus compatriotas salen mejor parados. Esta interesante obra no ha sido traducida al español, pero si fue leida en su época por personas relacionadas con la vida marinera y la explotación de pesca, como el propio Gonzalo de Murga, y otros vascos que escibieron sobre los bancos balleneros, alla por los años 70 del siglo XIX. 2 hojas, 352 páginas, 8 páginas de catálogo de Hachette.- 2 hojas, 376 páginas, 3 páginas de catálogo de Hachette. Cubiertas editorial en papel amarillo. Ejemplar sin cortar, con todos sus márgenes naturales. Protegido en estuche de tela. Algunos puntos esporádicos de óxido, sin importancia. 2 volúmenes. 19x12 cm.

First edition of this expansive whaling account important for its insight into French colonial interests in New Zealand and vivid representations of English and Spanish colonial systems on the Pacific isles, specifically recording the treatment of the Maori by English settlers. A particularly attractive copy in what is perhaps a publisher's deluxe binding, the style reminiscent of many such from the period. Louis Thiercelin (1809-1884 ) served as the doctor on two voyages to the Pacific, the first between 1837 and 1841 and the second from 1863 to 1865. The large gap between Thiercelin's two voyages allows him an interesting perspective on the changes to have undertaken the region across the 30 year period and he devotes considerable space to comparing Akaroa, New Zealand, as he first encountered it to how he found it in 1864. Thiercelin also provides considerable detail on the practicalities of whaling, including descriptions of poisoned and explosive harpoons, the use of both of which grew over the period in question. Forbes 2730; Hill 1690; Judd 171. 2 vols, octavo (173 x 109 mm). Contemporary quarter green morocco-grain roan, matching cloth boards, titles to spines in gilt in compartments, gilt stamps to compartments, blind panelling to boards, marbled endpapers, green silk bookmarker to vol. II. Spines uniformly toned, wear to tips, light foxing to contents; a smart copy in very good condition.
