Double Pirogue des Îles des Amis.
Piron del.. Copia Sculp. Dien scripsit.
[Paris: H.J.Jansen, 1800.]
Engraving. 310 x 440mm, 12¼ x 17¼".
A Tongan double pirogue (flat-bottomed boat) with a platform. Tonga was named the Friendly Islands by Cook because of his reception there. 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'.

The Islands of Lema.
[London: for the author by John and Paul Knapton, 1748.]
Coloured engraving. 230 x 520mm (9 x 20½"). Folded as issued, backed on paper.
A profile of the Lema islands of the Mariana Islands, described by Anson as 'rocky and barren'. George Anson's circumnavigation, 1740-44, was one of the last great buccaneering voyages, an official expedition to the South Seas to harass the Spanish bases but, more importantly, plunder their shipping. A main target was one of the richly-laden Manila galleons that crossed between Acapulco in Mexico and Manilla the Philippines. A stroke of luck presented them with one laden with 1.3 million silver pieces of eight; on their return to London, thirty-two wagons were needed to transfer them to the Tower of London. Published in Anson's own account, ''A Voyage Round the World, in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV''.

Man and woman from the island of Beautemps-Beaupré, part of the French overseas territory of New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean. Plate from 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', compiled by Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière. Labillardière was the botanist on board an expedition led by Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux which in 1791-3 attempted to find Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse, who disappeared in 1788 after setting sail from Botany Bay (Australia). Despite finding no trace of La Pérouse, 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 (and sketches by the expedition's artist Jean Piron) which were published in this book. Beautemps-Beaupré was in fact named after the hydropgrapher and explorer Charles-François Beautemps-Beaupré (1766-1854), who was also part of the expedition.

The first important contact between Europeans and the South Pacific island nation of Palau (modern Micronesia) occurred when the British East India Company ship 'Antelope', commanded by Captain Henry Wilson, ran aground near Koror. Wilson brought Prince Lee Boo (c.1764 - 1784) with him back to England in 1783. Probably a plate to 'An Account of the Pelew Islands ... composed from the Journals and Communications of Captain H. Wilson, and some of his Officers, who in August 1783 were there shipwrecked in the Antelope...' by George Keate.

[Paris: H.J.Jansen, 1800.]
Engraving, sheet 450 x 315mm (17¾ x 12½"). Thread margins.
Plate from 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', compiled by Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière. Labillardière was the botanist on board an expedition led by Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux which in 1791-3 attempted to find Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse, who disappeared in 1788 after setting sail from Botany Bay (Australia). Despite finding no trace of La Pérouse, 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 (and sketches by the expedition's artist Jean Piron) which were published in this book.
