1st Edition. Both works are first editions (Voyage pittoresque en Californie with the 2-page "Post-face"). In somewhat later hard paper binding, panels covered with blue paste paper. Spine with title vignette. XI [1] 295 [ie. 293] I-II [Post-face] 296-312 p.; 320 p. "One of the most complete accounts of the mining experiences in the first full year of French participation in the gold rush [.]." (Rohrbough, 2013) Together with the first reports about the attempts of the French filibusters, Pindray and Raousset-Boulbon, to establish a colony in Sonora, Mexico. In Voyage pittoresque en Californie, Lambertie describes, among other adventures, the experiences he gained as a gold miner in California at the banks of the Mokelumne River, where he arrived in the summer of 1850. In general Voyage pittoresque en Californie is an "extremely obscure book by an equally obscure author, about whom little is known except the vanity revealed in his preface and 'Miscellanies' here. He claims his book is the first one like it in French about California. Complaining about the dryness of previous accounts, Lambertie tightly wraps himself in the Romantic mantle and promises a narrative rich in emotion and personal reactions. His description of San Francisco concentrates on the contradictions to be found there both in wealth and commerce, but he resolutely believes in the energies and capabilities of the American citizenry. Oddly, he comments that prostitutes seem to have a lot of money and command a good price under the circumstances, apparently just another scarce commodity, like eggs. Though suitably impressed by the opulent gambling establishments and the array of gourmet cuisine, he considers the latter overpriced. Among the unfortunate sights witnessed was the fire of May 3, 1850. He quits the city for the goldfields because of it and travels to Stockton. After a few adventures there, he works a cradle on the Mokelumne River and moves on to another mining camp. His narrative turns to describing Native Americans of the vicinity and then abruptly ceases. This rare narrative deserves more study. We trace four copies in commerce: the Holliday Sale (1954 at $32.50), Scribner's (1956 at $35.00), Palau (noting a copy at 25 francs before 1954), and Chamonal (2003 at $6,000 U.S.)." (Sloan, 2005) Since 2005, only the same, Sloan(-Volkmann) copy appeared in sales according to RBH. The present issue differs in pagination from the Sloan(-Volkmann) copy, and most copies held in institutions. It contains an extra, Roman numbered, 2-page section after the erroneously paginated p. 295 (293), with the subtitle "Post-face", wherein Lambertie thanks the credit for the subscribers, suggesting that the present version preceded the other one. Those without this section, have a different typeset of contents or "Table", and finish on p. 310, whereas this issue on p. 312. We also found such 310-page copies with an extra, often missing title page, dated 1854. Howes U.S. IANA L-42 (with pp. 310); Sabin 38741 (only the 1854 edition). The second work, Le drame de la Sonora is the first report in book format on the French filibustering expeditions into Sonora in the mid-19th century, led by Charles de Pindray (1816-1852) and Gaston de Raousset-Boulbon (1817-1854). After Lambertie left California, he continued his journey to Sonora, Mexico, where Raousset-Boulbon's expeditions were also in progress. Lambertie contacted with Raousset-Boulbon, who at the time was in San Francisco, and suggested the author to ask his brother for further information and documents about his enterprise. The book, according to the foreword, was based upon these papers and facts, besides the contemporary articles found in the French newspapers. Lambertie concludes his work with the description of the local Native American tribes of the Apaches, Guaymas, Seris, Tepocas, Quechans, Pimas, Yumas, Quiquimas, Cocomaricopas, Nijoras, Moquis, and the Papagos, their history, and interactions with the Spaniard, and the missionaries. He also gathered information about Gabriel Ferry, a French writer who lived in Mexico for ten years, and the last chapter covers the French geologist Jules Marcou's 1854 field trip (upon his letters), as part of the Whipple Expedition.
