The bindings are in very good condition, with a little rubbing to the edges only. Inside, the text and plates have light foxing throughout, but are overall in very good condition.
    Each copy online offers a different number of plates for each of the four volumes - but our copy seems to match the maximum collation for each variation (so seems complete.) The index is of limited use, as it only lists a proportion of the plates. In addition to the four title vignettes, we have: Europe (1844). 364 pages, 49 plates; Asie (1845). 592 pages, 82 plates; L'Afrique et l'Amérique (1844), 368 pages, 43 plates; l'Océanie (1845) 368 pages 36 plates. A total of 210 coloured plates.
    Van der Marck pp. 154-155; Colas 3041; Chadenat 1507. Première édition. 4 grands volumes in-8, (27cm x 17cm) Reliure demi basane bleu nuit, couvertures percaline repoussée, dos à titre et décor dorés.
    Illustré de planches coloriées à la main / gravées à la main. Ceux-ci ont été créés par les principaux illustrateurs de l'époque, dont Duverger, L. Markaert, R. King. Les reliures sont en très bon état, avec quelques frottements sur les bords seulement. A l'intérieur, le texte et les planches présentent de légères rousseurs sur l'ensemble, mais sont globalement en très bon état.
    Chaque exemplaire en ligne propose un nombre différent de planches pour chacun des quatre volumes - mais notre exemplaire semble correspondre à la collation maximale pour chaque variation (il semble donc complet.) L'index est d'une utilité limitée, car il ne répertorie qu'une partie des planches. En plus des quatre vignettes de titre, nous avons : Europe (1844). 364 pages, 49 planches ; Asie (1845). 592 pages, 82 planches ; L'Afrique et l'Amérique (1844), 368 pages, 43 planches ; l'Océanie (1845) 368 pages 36 planches. Un total de 210 planches colorées.

    Mr. Punch's Travels in Foreign Lands

    It is not clear whether these are 32 original ink drawings in the style of Punch and Judy by one H. Abbot, or if they are engravings culled from other sources and here gathered together. Perhaps it is a combination of the two. There are 15 numbered illustrations, with a title to each. This is followed by a further 7 illustrations on diverse subjects. Then comes "Attitudes for Exits from the Stage" with 8 small illustrations with quotations(seemingly from Shakespeare). Finally are three further illustrations. Overall, we sell this as a nice gathering (and hence unique collection) of mid-Nineteenth century engravings.

    In 1843 (at just 16 years old) Nakahama Manjirō became the first Japanese person to live in the United States. Two years earlier, at the tender age of 14, he had been rescued after a shipwreck by the crew of the 'John Howland', an American whale ship from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Having mastered English, sailing the world on whaling ships for several years, and trying his hand at gold mining, Manjirō later risked his life to go back to Japan in an attempt to make his homeland more "hospitable."
    After much suspicion, and many interrogations, he was later to become a shōgun's samurai, a teacher of English and American culture, and his translation of Nathaniel Bowditch's 'The New American Practical Navigator' constituted the introduction of modern scientific navigation methods to Japan. His life story is certainly a fascinating one, and number of Manjirō's students would go on to play seminal roles in the Meiji-era modernisation of Japan.
    This information has been extrapolated from an article written by Junji Kitadai.
