Gay, 2905.
First edition.
In publishing Lajaille’s unpublished account, Labarthe makes it clear that, although the slave trade was temporarily banned in France, the interest of France remains in trading the natural ressources. “Quelles que soient les vues ultérieures du Gouvernement… le Sénégal doit encore intéresser nos armateurs par l’extraction de la gomme, des cuirs, de l’or, de la cire, du morfil, etc.” (Préface). The fine map is engraved by P.F. Tardieu.
Very broad margined copy, some occasional foxing.
