About this Item
Limited to 1,000 copies designed and printed by Lawton Kennedy. Captains Alejandro Malaspina and Jose Bustamante y Guerra made Monterey, California, a port of call and of scientific investigation in September, 1791. This visit by an expedition which was probably Spain's greatest exploratory contribution to the age of enlightenment, placed California under the scrutiny of men of science, and left the most extensively compiled record of data from the Hispanic period. Quarto: viii, 96 p. with a frontispiece map, four color ornithological illustrations, sixteen plates, and two folding charts. Original tan cloth binding, with decorative gilt stamping. A fine copy in the original acetate dust wrapper. Seller Inventory # 76911
