A Maori 'waka taua' or war canoe.

[Paris: H.J.Jansen, 1800.]
Engraving. 305 x 445mm (12 x 17½").
Romanticized portraits of two Maoris. Both have hair decorated with feathers, one wearing a necklace, the other long earrings; neither have tattoos. In 1788 Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse set sail from Botany Bay and was never seen again. Despite the upheaval of the French Revolution the National Assembly was moved to send an expedition in search of their lost hero, 1791-3, under Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux. Despite finding no trace of La Perouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists, especially in Australia. This account, compiled by the expedition's botanist, Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière, was published as 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', with natural history plates by Redouté and Audebert. The work even has its own abbreviation in botantical literature, 'Voy.Rech.Perouse'.

A later strike of Charles Heaphy's view of Wellington, New Zealand, slightly redrawn (one building has three windows to the original four). Originally published by Trelawny Saunders for the New Zealand Company c.1845, it has been suggested that the series was reprinted in 1891 to mark the 50th anniversary of the expedition this view depicts. Major Charles Heaphy (1821-81) arrived in New Zealand in 1839, going to work for the New Zealand Company; in 1841 he joined Arthur Wakefield on the expedition that led to the founding of Nelson, from where he took part in several expeditions to explore the north west corner of the South Island. In 1864 he was awarding the Victoria Cross for rescuing a wounded comrade during the Maori Wars. The four lithographs of this series are among the best known and most valuable New Zealand prints.

[Chart containing the greater part of the South Sea to the South of the Line, with the Islands dispers'd throu' the same.]
[Engraved by Thomas Jefferys after Braddock Mead.]
Publish'd according to Act of Parliament and Printed for Robert Sayer in Fleet Street and Thomas Jefferys in the Strand. [n.d., 1768.]
One sheet only (of six). Engraved map with border, scarce but damaged. Sheet 440 x 545mm (17¼ x 21½"). Trimmed into plate, losing title above top border, damage in plate. Laid onto old canvas, in turn glued to board. Tears.
The bottom left sheet of Braddock Mead's important six-sheet map, 'A Chart of North and South America including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans with the nearest coasts of Europe, Africa and Asia.' It shows the pre-Cook outline of New Zealand, Espiritu Santo (then posited to be the east coast of Australia), the Solomon Islands and Marquesas, with the routes of the major explorers marked. Despite being designed to be joined, each sheet had a printed border and an individual title, missing in this example, allowing the sheets to be sold separately. The map was originally published by Jefferys alone in 1753 but, after backruptcy in 1766 forced him to take on partners, this second edition was published with Sayer, apparently unrevised. A third state, published by Sayer and Bennett in 1775, has Cook's mapping of New Zealand.
