First edition. First two volumes of this comprehensive report on one of the most important scientific and archaeological missions of the nineteenth century, the 1864 expedition to the Dead Sea undertaken by the visionary art collector, archaeologist, and scientist Honoré Paul Joseph d'Albert, duc de Luynes (1802-1867). This work documents "the first systematic attempt to survey and photograph the geological features and cities of the Dead Sea basin in present-day Jordan. In addition to mapping the Dead Sea area, the expedition made significant contributions to the geological and paleontological knowledge of the region and also to an understanding of the chemical composition of the lake's waters" (GRI). Louis Vignes (1831-1896), a lieutenent-commander in the French navy and director since 1860 of the port in Beirut, was chosen by de Luynes as photographer for the expedition because of his knowledge of the Levant. "Vignes began to photograph immediately upon arrival in Beirut and continued to do so during the ride south throughout Sidon, Tyre, Nablus, and Jerusalem. From March 14 until May 29 the party sailed the entire Dead Sea on a special iron vessel designed by Vignes to be dismantled for easy trasportation" (Perez). A preliminary account, edited by Vignes, appeared as Extrait des notes d'un voyage d'exploration à la mer Morte, dans le Wady Arabah, sur la rive gauche du Jourdain et dans le désert de Palmyre (Paris: H. Plon, 1865). In 1866 de Luynes made a second expedition to the region, accompanied by the Orientalist, Ch. Mauss and the photographer, Henri Joseph Sauvaire (1831-1896); their account was published the following year in the Bulletin de la Société de Géographie as "De Karak à Chaubak. Extrait d'un Journal de voyage." De Luynes' full account of the expedition is found in the first volume of the present report. The two parts of the second volume comprise Louis Vignes' account of the journey from Petra (Jordan) to Palmyra (Syria), along with the account of the 1866 journey from Jerusalem to the Crusader castles of Kerak and Shoubak (Jordan), written by Mauss and Sauvaire. A member of the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres, de Luynes was a philanthropist with enormous inherited wealth, and deep interdisciplinary interests, many of which are on display in the report of his expeditions to the Dead Sea region: the study and collection of Greco-Roman antiquities, notably from Phoenicia and Palestine, and the pursuit of scientific interests in chemistry, geology, and photography. The two volumes not present comprise the geological report by Louis Lartet (1840-1899) and an atlas of photogravure and lithographic reproductions of photographs taken by Louis Vignes and Henri Sauvaire.
