The La Perouse account was first published in Paris in French in 1797 and in English in 1798. This is one of the earliest Pacific voyages to appear in an American edition and published much less modestly than the French and British editions would have been the way the average American would have learned about La Perouse's important surveys of the Pacific coast and his descriptions of native Americans there. This is also the first American version although only a precis of Vancouver's voyage first published in London in 1798. The 1781 voyage of Spanish naval officer Francisco Antonio Mourelle incorrectly spelled in this edition's title went from the Philippines to the South Pacific where he explored in the vicinity of New Guinea and the Tonga Islands before sailing to Mexico. Howes is inaccurate in his pagination of this edition and the Hill copy contains a map that was added later. unknown

The first edition of one of the most important scientific explorations ever undertaken to the Pacific and the northwest American coast and the first scientific voyage to California. 'The voyage round the world under the command of La Pérouse was intended as the French equivalent of Captain Cook's Third Voyage and was enthusiastically endorsed by the Academy of Sciences and particularly by Louis XVI. The most significant results of the voyage are the charts of the then imperfectly known Asiatic coast of the Pacific' Forbes. La Pérouse was the first explorer to navigate 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 to assess the extent of British plans. He arrived at Botany Bay in January 1788 just hours after Governor Phillip had arrived with the First Fleet. La Pérouse's habit of forwarding copies of journals and drawings when opportunity offered ensured their survival for as is well known the accomplishments of the voyage have been overshadowed by the disappearance of the entire expedition. The folio atlas contains magnificent maps of Russian Asia Japan the Pacific North-West Coast Hawaii San Francisco and Monterey; the views include a fine series of botanical and ornithological plates including the California quail. Of particular interest to Hawaii is the plate that depicts French ships off Makena Maui. It is the first fully developed view of that island.

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

Voyage envoyé à la recherche de Lapérouse.Paris Imprimerie Impériale 1808. Three first editions of descriptions of the rarest and most interesting 18th-century expeditions bound as a set in beautiful contemporary uniform bindings. A milestone set in the history of exploration of the Pacific.Ad 1: Record of an important French scientific expedition in which participated a number of scientists and artists. De la Pérouse left France in 1785 with two frigates the Astrolabe and Boussole to explore the Pacific and the west coast of North America. He was sent there to explore the regions not explored by Captain Cook. Furthermore he was to seek for an interoceanic passage to scientifically observe the various countries peoples and products and to obtain reliable information about the fur trade and the extent of the Spanish settlements in California. This way De la Pérouse made a valuable contribution to the history of geographical discovery particularly concerning the American coast and its natives. The account describes expeditions to Easter Island Hawaii Macao Formosa the Aleutian Islands Samoa Tonga and Australia. The best results were obtained in exploring and mapping the unknown territories on the Asiatic side of the Pacific. This includes the discovery of the strait - still bearing De la Pérouse's name - between the island of Sakhalin and the northernmost island of Japan. De la Pérouse sent his accounts to France from Kamchatka and Botany Bay. But after the expedition left Botany Bay it was never heard from again. Two expeditions were sent out to look for him: the first was led by Dillon in 1827 the second by Dumont d'Urville in 1828. Only 39 years later the remnants of De la Pérouse's two frigates were discovered on the reef of Vanikoro one of the Santa Cruz Islands by Peter Dillon. The maps included in the present travel account is a large general map of the journey detailed maps of different isles several views and beautiful illustrations of plants birds ships people etc.Ad 2: Account of the naturalist De Labillardiére who accompanied one of the futile searches for De la Pérouse. The present expedition was sent out under d'Entrecasteaux and Huon de Kermadec in 1791-1794. Although the expedition was not successful it is of considerable importance because of the scientific observations and surveys of the coasts of Tasmania New Caledonia the north coast of New Guinea and the southwest coast of Australia it produced. De Labillardière's account of the Tongans is among the best contributions to their ethnology. The illustrations include views a portrait of a native illustrations of jewellery and 14 engraved botanical plates after Redouté.Ad 3: Scientific account of a search for De la Pérouse the same expedition as described in the work mentioned above ad 2. The expedition did not succeed but d'Entrecasteaux made important geographical discoveries and his account is extraordinarily rich in cartographical and astronomical material. The Recherche and the Espérance were under his command second captain was Huon de Kermadec after whom the islands north of New Zealand were named. The d'Entrecasteaux Islands near New Guinea were discovered and named for the admiral who later died of colic near the north coast of New Guinea. The beautiful large maps in the atlas depict wonderfully detailed illustrations of isles and coasts along the South Sea. The French Revolution divided the expedition: the royalists joined the Dutch on Java and the Republicans fell into the hands of the British Royal Navy. Also captured were the expedition's journal charts and natural history specimens. Sir Joseph Banks ordered that they be delivered to the coast of France under a flag of truce. With two small book plates on the front endpapers of Clemens Platen-Hallermund and IvR in every volume. Occasionally very slightly foxed in the margins and with a few minor tears in the bottom margin of some leaves otherwise in very good condition.

1797181908Paris: 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.

Tombs of Baie de Castries: an engraving from Charts and Plates to La Perouse's Voyage 1798

1798003681G. G & J. Robinson. LA PAROUSE John Francis Galaup; DUCHÉ DE VANCY Jean Baptiste; HEATH James: Tombs of Baie de Castries. An engraving from Charts and Plates to La Pérouse's Voyage London: G. G. & J. Robinson 1798. Copper engraving 310 × 230 mm plate on laid paper with good margins; plate mark visible; light overall toning and a few faint spots with a shallow horizontal fold as issued otherwise in very good condition. A view of the tombs at Baie de Castries showing a small settlement with two figures in the foreground and the distinctive raised wooden burial structures. Bais de Castries described in contemporary sources as lying on the eastern coast of Tartary corresponds to the North Pacific explored by La Perouse in 1787 in the region now identified with the northwest coast of America southeast Alaska. The drawing was made by Jean-Baptiste Louis Claude Théodore duc de Vancy one of the official artists attached to the expedition of Jean-François de Galaup comte de La Pérouse whose role was to record landscapes sites and customs encountered during the voyage. La Perouse and his crew wouldn't make it back to Paris with it latterly being discovered that his ship was wrecked at Vanikoro now the Solomon Islands.
