By Lapérouse — among the rarest and most historically important charts of the Northwest Coast ever produced. Jean-François de Galaup Comte de Lapérouse 1741–1788 was the foremost French navigator and explorer of the late 18th century. Commissioned by Louis XVI to lead a major scientific and commercial expedition to the Pacific he departed Brest in 1785 with two frigates — the Boussole and the Astrolabe — and spent three years charting the Pacific and North American coasts with extraordinary precision. His charts of the Northwest Coast of North America 1786 were the first scientific surveys of many sections of that coastline and were published posthumously in the celebrated four-volume Voyage de Lapérouse autour du monde 1797. The expedition disappeared without trace near Vanikoro in 1788.

179755868Paris: 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
