A view of Macao drawn by Gaspard Duché de Vancy and engraved by Louis Joseph Masquelier for the account of the Pacific scientific expedition of Jean François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse.

There he met with the British First Fleet, taking the opportunity to send journals, charts and letters back to Europe with the British merchant ship Alexander. In March he set sail again and disappeared: this plate was published while the search for the explorer continued. In 1828 artifacts of the expedition were found; the remains of the ships were discovered on Vanikoro in 1964.
