Best.-Nr. 6294London: 1798. No binding. Very Good. 380 x 495 mm. in good condition. This is a map representing the visit of the French Admiral and explorer le Comte de La Pérouse to Korea in 1786. This is from the first English edition of La Perouse's voyage. A superb large-scale chart showing the track of La Perouse's expedition in the ships Boussole and Astrolabe. The route from Manila Bay to Taiwan Formosa to Korea through the Sea of Japan named by La Perouse to the Kuriles reaching southern Kamchatka on September 16 1787. Jean-Francois de Galoup Comte de La Perouse led a French scientific expedition to the Pacific in 1785-88. He was one of the most noted naval commanders and navigators in France and was selected by King Louis XVI to complete Captain James Cook's exploration of the western Pacific. In a rare moment of co-operation the British Admiralty furnished scientific equipment to measure variations in magnetic north and for determining longitude. Fortunately for us La Perouse was meticulous in sending copies of his detailed logs and surveying via other ships as well as overland. His last contact was in the spring of 1788 with a British ship in Botany Bay Australia. The expedition was never heard from again. When the French Government realised that it had been lost they decided to publish an account as in many other ways it is regarded as one the greatest French voyages of exploration. It was not until 1827 that their fate was known. Howes 1962 L93; Nordenskiold 1979 133; Sabin 1868-1936 38960; Shirley 2004 G.LPR-3a. 1798 unknown

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. 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.
