LA PEROUSE, Jean Francois de Galaup
Carte d'une partie du Gran Ocean a l'E. et.SE. de la Nouvelle Guinee.
Paris: 1797. Interesting chart of part of the south-western Pacific showing the routes taken by the Spanish explorer Don Francisco Antonio Maurelle in 1781 along the northern coast of New Guinea and across the Pacific to Fiji and Tonga. Maurelle was credited with the discovery of the Hermit Islands on this voyage. The map includes the north-eastern coast of Australia and parts of the coast of New Guinea. The map shows the 1781 route of his ship "The Princesa" through the Bismarck Archipelago north of New Guinea through the Archipel de Salomos i.e. Solomon Islands and then east across the Pacific to the Iles de Amis i.e. the Friendly Islands now Tonga where he discovered I. Vavao i.e. Vava'u with one of the best anchorages in the South Pacific. The map includes the Iles de Navigateurs i.e. Samoa I. Fidji i.e. Fiji Iles de Esprit i.e. Vanuatu or the New Hebrides Isles and Nouvelle Caledonie i.e. New Caledonia. Many small islands are depicted with notes regarding their sightings by Abel Tasman William Bligh and Maurelle. A note on the chart states that the publisher has placed the islands according to the longitude of other navigators rather than on Maurelle's figures which were considered estimates only and also that Maurelles chart was based on a French chart by Jacques Nicolas Bellin published in 1742. The French cartographers at the time did not consider the Spanish charts to be sufficiently accurate so they preferred to make their own corrections. Size: 490 x 340 mm. Copper engraving. Hand coloured. Good condition. Watermark slight browning and an old repair to the central fold. Good margins. unknown

Carte Particuliere de la Côte du Nord-Ouest de l'Amérique Reconnue par les Frégates Françaises la Boussole et l'Astrolabe en 1786. 3e. Feuille
Paris: Imprimerie de la République 1797. First Edition. Folio Leaf. Very Good. Hérault / Bouclet. Elephant Folio. Leaf measures 33.25" x 23.25" while the printed chart is 26.5" x 19.5". Fold at center as issued. Condition is Very Good with very light foxing within the plate and slightly darker foxing in the top right margin. A dampstain the size of a fifty-cent piece at the lower right corner outside the border rule and not affecting print impression. La Pérouse was France's answer to Captain James Cook. Directed by King Louis XVI to explore and chart the Pacific in 1785 La Pérouse set sail from France with the frigates Boussole and Astrolabe . and never returned. After years of speculation and expeditions sent in search of the ships their 1788 shipwrecked-fate in the South Seas was finally ascertained. Prior to disappearing La Pérouse dispatched a courier homeward overland via Russia with his narrative charts and artist-depictions to-date. His achievements were published in 1797 including this chart.<p>This chart covering the coastline from Cape Rond Tillamook Head northward to the Baie de Clonard present-day Queen Charlotte Islands or Haida Gwaii was the only chart of the region other than works by or based on Cook's efforts. Three Spanish voyages and Cook's third voyage had visited the west coast of now-known Vancouver Island before La Pérouse. As depicted in this chart the land mass is not yet known by the place-name "Vancouver" nor is it recognized as an island. LADA-MOCARSKI 52 claims the best charting by La Pérouse is on the Asian side of the Pacific. Indeed it must be noted that La Pérouse like Cook missed both the Columbia River and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. See WAGNER Cartography of the Northwest Coast of America 840.

Chart of Part of the North West Coast of America explored by the Boussole & Astrolabe in 1786. 1st Sheet
London: G.G. & J. Robinson 1799. Original copper engraving. This detailed map shows the south eastern part of Alaska.<br/> <br/> A fine copy of this engraving from Robinson's edition "usually considered to be the best one in English . and is extremely rare" Hill picturing and charting La Perouse's ill-fated voyage round the world. "La Pérouse's expedition was one of the most important scientific explorations ever undertaken to the Pacific and the west coast of North America . The charge to the expedition which took place between 1785 and 1788 was to examine such parts of the region as had not been explored by Captain Cook; to seek for an interoceanic passage; to make scientific observations on the various countries peoples and products; to obtain reliable information about the fur trade and the extent of Spanish settlements in California; and to promote the inducements for French enterprise in that quarter . La Pérouse and his men did important geographical research . The voyage also included the first foreign scientific group ever to visit California. La Pérouse sent dispatches back to France from Kamchatka and Botany Bay. The two ships then set sail from Botany Bay in 1788 and were never heard from again" Hill. It was not until the 1820s that the wrecks of his ships were discovered on a reef in the Santa Cruz group. When it became clear that something had happened to the expedition a decision was made to publish the journals he had transmitted home.<br/> <br/> Cowan p.383; Ferguson 288; Hill 2004 975; Howes L93 'b'; Lada-Mocarski 52; Sabin 38962; TPL 596; Wagner Cartography of the Northwest Coast 837-848 pp.199-201; Zamorano 49.

Charts and plates to La Pérouse's voyage.
<p><strong>Atlas to the English edition of the report of the famous voyage around the world by La Pérouse who - in addition to Bougainville and Cook - contributed decisively to the exploration of the Pacific region. Without the two text volumes.</strong></p><p><strong>Description:</strong> Contemporary quarter calf with marbled paper boards. Flat spine lettered and decorated in gilt. Quarto: 44 × 28.5 cm; unpag. 1 engr. frontispiece 1 engr. title page and 67 full-page copper-engraved plates thereof are: 37 plates and 30 maps 20 fold-outs.</p><p><strong>Ref.:</strong> Boucher i p. 149-54; Cox i 67; Sabin 3896</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Binding a bit scuffed and with a few surface abrasions at edges. Light waterstains to the gutter of first few leaves. Contents occasionally somewhat soiled more noticeable in the first few leaves slight tanning at edges. Three small brown spots on plate 29 visible between plates 27-37. Lacking plates 1 map of the world and 36 male and female Partridge of California. Some offsetting from plates. Despite the occasional minor blemish a good copy.</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong> La Pérouse 1741-1788 a French naval officer and explorer was appointed in 1785 to lead a scientific expedition to explore the Pacific. The expedition stopped in Chile Hawaii Alaska California Mauritius Réunion Macau Japan Russia and Australia. However his journey ended tragically. In January 1788 he reached Botany Bay. He sent his final notes to France from there before sailing on towards Tonga in March. When no further reports arrived in France for a long period of time the first search expedition was launched in 1791. However it remained unsuccessful. It was not until 1826 that Peter Dillon an Irish sea captain proved that the island of Vanikoro was the site of the accident where the expedition's ships met a tragic end on the reef.</p><p>The first English edition was published in two volumes in octavo format by John Stockdale in London in 1798. Two other translations were published by two different publishers in 1798 and 1799: J. Johnson's first edition appeared in 1798 and J. Robinson's in 1799. Regarding these editions Edward Cox writes in his Reference Guide to the Literature of Travel: "On the unexpected publication of this famous voyage at Paris in the previous year 1797 there was considerable competition among English publishers to bring out the English translation. Three different translations were made and published during 1798-99 and different engravers were employed for making the plates. Stockdale's appeared first in June 1798. Robinson's edition of 1799 is the most esteemed edition in English later editions being usually based on it."</p> G. G. & J. Robinson hardcover

Als zweiter und dritter Band der Reihe 'Bibliothek der neuesten und interessantesten Reisebeschreibungen' erschienene Ausgabe der 'Voyage de la Perouse autour du monde'. La Perouse 1741-1788 französischer Geograph und Weltumsegler unternahm diese umfassende Erforschung und Kartographierung des pazifischen Raums im Auftrag der französischen Krone. Am 1. August 1785 stachen die beiden Schiffe von Brest aus in See. Die erste Station war Teneriffa. Im Januar 1786 wurde Patagonien erreicht. Über Kap Hoorn und die Osterinsel ging es nach Hawaii und weiter nach Alaska.

In Alaska knüpfte er wichtige Kontakte mit Indianern bevor er die Küste Kaliforniens bereiste.
