JACQUEMONT Victor
Correspondence of Victor Jacquemont with his family and several of his friends, during his trip to India (1828-1832)

Paris: Librairie de H. Fournier, 1833, 2 volumes, half-leather bindings, (a small crack at the bottom of one joint , some foxing ) – Very complete first edition of its folding map at the end of the second volume.

Victor Jacquemont, who died in Bombay during a scientific mission, is a very endearing figure as a traveler, scholar and man of the world. His correspondence, full of frankness, humor and skeptical spirit, but also benevolence, was not intended for publication. It is considered India’s first modern relationship.
