With:
(OZANNE, Pierre).  Recueil des Combats de Jean-Bart, chef d'escadre sous Louis XIV, suivi de l'abrégé de sa vie. Paris, Chez M. Legouaz, 1806. With 19 numbered engraved plates by LE GOUAZ after Ozanne, and a wood-engraved decoration on the title-page. (2), 3-8 pp.

Two first editions bound together.
Ad 1: The copper engravings depicting the naval battles of Duguay-Trouin are by Jeanne François Ozanne, after designs by her brother Nicholas Ozanne. The maps were engraved by Drouet. The illustrations contain page reference which pertain to the officail authorized edition of the Memoirs. Paris, 1740. The Ozanne's were from a family of engravers, originally from Brest. They worked maily with maritime themes. The sister, Marie Jeanne married the engraver Yves Marie Le Gouaz, who published this series of plates.
Ad 2: Rare first edition of Yves Marie Le Gouaz's finely engraved sea-battle prints after drawings by Ozanne. They show a title-print showing a fishing boat before the entrance to the port at Jean-Bart's native Dunkerque, seventeen views of his conquests of Dutch, Spanish and English ships from 1675 to 1696, and a view of his Channel crossing in a small row boat after escaping from an English prison in 1689.
Jean-Bart (1650-1702), born at Dunkerque, started his naval career as a teenager under the great Dutch admiral Michiel Adriaansz. de Ruyter. When France declared war on the Dutch Republic in 1672, however, he returned home and set up as a corsair, quickly gaining fame for his successful attacks on Dutch war ships and capture of Dutch merchant ships until the peace of 1678. When the wars against the Dutch and English started again in 1688 he booked further victories and in 1696 Louis XIV gave him command of the French fleet. He remains the best known and most colourful hero of maritime France.
Pierre Ozanne (1737-1813), draftsman and engineer for the French navy, is known for his fine, accurate and lively drawings of ships and naval battles. In the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century he worked closely with his brother-in-law, the engraver and publisher Le Gouaz (1742-1816) to produce several naval print series.
