1797rif. 181908Paris: L'Imprimerie de la Republique 1797. One of the great documents of French exploration" in the original boards First edition an attractive set with strong impressions of the plates. La Pérouse's work is a "magnificent production and some authorities consider the engraving and craftsmanship to be superior even to that in the Cook-Webber atlas It is one of the finest narratives of maritime exploration ever written and certainly deserves to hold a place of high honour among the great travel accounts of the 18th century" Howell. La Pérouse's 1741-c.1788 expedition left France in 1785 to seek an inter-oceanic passage examining the parts of the Pacific not yet explored by Cook conducting scientific observations on the various peoples and regions assessing the extent of Spanish settlement in California and determining the possibilities of French expansion in the Pacific. En route to Kamchatka La Pérouse was the first to navigate safely and chart the Japan Sea and the strait between the island of Sakhalin and the northernmost island of Japan which bears his name. At Kamchatka he received instructions to proceed to Australia arriving at Botany Bay in January 1788 just hours after Captain Phillip had arrived with the First Fleet. After leaving later the same year the expedition was never seen again. Evidence slowly came to light that both ships were wrecked on the reefs around the islands north-west of Australia. This account is based on dispatches sent from Australia and Kamchatka before this. The atlas volume contains maps of Russian Asia Japan San Francisco Monterey and the Sandwich Islands. The most significant results of La Pérouse's voyage are the charts of the Asiatic side of the Pacific and the details of "the peculiarities he observed in the Native Americans of the northwest coast of North America are especially valuable" Sabin. It also features the first representation of the crested quail. The engraved portrait of La Pérouse counted as the 70th plate is here bound as the frontispiece in Volume I as often. The atlas was published in two forms: on regular usually trimmed and large or thick paper.

His aim was to explore the Pacific regions of North and South America Asia and Australasia. The sponsor of the expedition was the French king Louis XVI who was inspired by Captain James Cook's Pacific voyages. Louis ordered the French expedition to show the world that France could also dominate in ocean exploration. The expedition consisted of two ships - La Boussole and L'Astrolabe. They carried a total of 225 crew officers and scientists. The ships left France in August 1785 and sailed south around Cape Horn. The voyage was expected to last four years. During the voyage La Perouse sent back regular reports to France. The expedition mapped coastlines and explored uncharted areas of ocean. The expedition's scientists also spent time onshore at various ports observing the habits and customs of local people and collecting natural history specimens. The expedition's progess until September 1787 was published by the French government as Voyage de La Perouse autour du monde La Perouse's voyage around the world. It was reprinted many times and translated into several languages. In 1791 when La Perouse had not returned to France or made any contact by dispatch the French government sent out a search party. It was commanded by Rear Admiral Joseph Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux and consisted of two ships Recherche and Esperance. The complete disappearance of La Perouse caught the imagination of the European public. Songs stories and plays were written about the possible fate of the expedition including a popular play called Perouse or The desolate island. It was not until 1964 that the wreck of La Boussole was finally discovered on Vanikoro's reefs. At last the fate of La Perouse and his crew was known. The expedition is commemorated in the name of a Sydney suburb on the shores of Botany Bay - La Perouse." State Library of New South Wales Website.Sabin 38960. unknown

1797rif. 55868Paris: 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.
