1781réf. H1RDFKW35E6FAt sea 1781. Short manuscript note in ink on a small sheet of laid paper 12 x 13.5 cm. An exceptionally rare autograph note signed by the great French explorer La Pérouse. The extraordinary story and achievements of La Pérouse are well known and recounted in the handsome official account of his expedition. However because he was lost without trace mid-voyage manuscript material relating to his life is very rare indeed. In the present note La Pérouse asks that his boat be given an impressive 286 "aunes" of canvas which is needed on board. An "aune" is an old-fashioned French measure usually translated as ell or cubit: its length could vary but the normal French/Parisian aune was about 118 cm meaning that La Pérouse is in fact asking for about 340 metres of canvas. The sheer quantity of the request speaks to La Pérouse having written the note while in charge of a large vessel.The document is counter-signed and noted as "delivered" by one "Deletombe": it seems very likely that this is Philippe-André-Joseph de Létombe who arrived in the United States in 1781 and was the French Consul in Boston and a correspondent of Thomas Jefferson. If this identification is correct the note would possibly date from La Pérouse's cruising in the West Indies and along the coast to Hudson Bay in 1781 and 1782.With old folds clearly and legibly written and docketed; in very good condition. unknown

réf. 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
