BEAUFORT M., “Caramanie ou description de la la cote meridionale de L”Asie Mineure”, Paris, 1821. First edition in French. Printed in two separated volumes in 1821. Unbound. Complete, pp.133+96 with the folded map of the coast of Caramania. Very good and clean. Beaufort (the British admiral and hydrographer) explored Caramania, in 1811-12, in order to chart the southern coast of Asia Minor, still uncharted at that time. His travel account was the first systematic description of the coastline of Asia Minor, describing the ancient cities, the topography and the population. One of the earliest travel accounts for the area. The French edition is rare.
