Add to basketEngraving on watermarked laid paper, 30 x 44.5 cm (plate-mark), sheet trimmed almost to the platemark, margins spotted, but a very good dark impression. Idyllically composed view of the Admiralty Islands, (now often referred to as Manus after the largest island), Papua New Guinea, prepared for the Atlas to Labillardiere's accoun…t of the "Voyage a la recherche de la Perouse". The beleaguered voyage searched in vain for La Perouse and the expedition's leader Rear-Admiral Bruny d'Entrecasteaux died of scurvy. However, the voyage numbered gifted scientists and naturalists (Labillardiere), as well as Charles-François Beautemps-Beaupré, now regarded as the father of modern French hydrography. As Ferguson notes, "The expedition made several important contributions to geographical knowledge, and the investigations of the naturalists into productions of countries visited were of special value".
