Naufrage des deux chaloupes, au Port des Francais.
Dessine par N. Ozanne. Gravé par Dequevauviller. L.Aubert scripsit.
[Paris: L'Imprimerie de la Republique, An V, 1797.]
Engraving. 390 x 560mm, 15½ x 22". Crease through middle of image.
Some of La Perouse's crew in trouble in the icy waters of Lituya Bay, Alaska (now part of the Glacier Bay Park & Wilderness), after the capsizing of two cutters, resulting in twenty-one deaths. In normal circumstances the waters are incredibly dangerous, with the spill of three glaciers entering the bay and a tidal difference of 10 feet; but in 1958 a megatsunami was recorded in the bay that destroyed trees to a height of 1,720 feet above sea-level, signifying a wave higher than the Empire State Building. In 1785 Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse (1741-88) was sent by the French to continue Cook's exploration work in the Pacific, in the ships 'Astrolabe' & 'Boussole'. After three years, during which time he visited Chile, California, Alaska, Kamchatka, the Philippines, Japan and Hawaii, he travelled to Australia. Outside Botany Bay he met up with Captain Arthur Phillip's First Fleet, after which he set sail and was never seen again, despite an extensive rescue mission. Fortunately La Pérouse took every oportunity to send his work back to France: one crew member disembarked here at Petropavlovsk and spent a year crossing Russia back to France; later journals, charts and letters he left with the British at Botany Bay. Thus his discoveries were not lost with him, but published posthumously in this work, 'Voyage de la Perouse autour du monde..'.

Massacre de L'Equipage de la Modeste dans le Port de Gênes, par les Anglais, le 5th Octobre 1793, ou 13 Vendemaire An 2 de la République.
Ozane inv. & del. Berthault Sculp.
[Paris: Auber, 1804.]
Etching with large margins. 230 x 305mm (9 x 12"). With letterpress.
'The Massacre of the Crew of La Modeste in the Port of Genoa, by the English.' The French frigate La Modeste was moored at the quay in the neutral port when five English ships entered the harbour. Drawing alongside, the English asked the French to move a boat so they could manoeuver, which the French did. The English then asked the French to raise a white flag, then attacked as soon as the French captain refused. Completely unprepared for the hail of musket fire, many of the French crew threw themselves overboard, only to be chased and shot in the water by the English sailors. The citizens of Genoa were outraged by this breach of neutrality. Published in the 'Collection complète des tableaux historiques de la révolution française'.
Not in Parker.
