[Jean Francois Galaup de la Perouse, chef d'escadre des armees navales.]
Gravé d'aprés une Minature par Alex.e Tardieu, 1793.
Engraving; Proof before letters with large margins. Platemark: 305 x 250mm. (12 x 9¾"). A few foxing marks.
Jean-François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse (1741 - 1788) was a French Navy officer and explorer whose expedition vanished in Oceania. Known for the wide-ranging explorations in the Pacific Ocean that he conducted in the second half of the 1780s, La Perouse Strait, in the northwestern Pacific, is named after him. La Pérouse joined the French navy while in his teens and gradually became an accomplished navigator and seaman. By 1780 he was a captain, and, with France having taken the side of the United States during the American Revolution, he commanded a successful campaign against British settlements on the shore of Hudson Bay (1782).

Portrait of Richard Lemon Lander (1804 - 1834), wearing Arab dress. who explored the course of the Niger river, West Africa.

He returned to Western Africa in 1830, accompanied by his brother John. They landed at Badagri and followed the lower Niger River from Bussa to the sea. After exploring about 160 kilometres of the Niger River upstream, they returned to explore the Benue River and Niger Delta before travelling back to England. On a trading expedition up the Niger in 1832, Lander was shot when tribesmen attacked his canoe: he returned to the coast but died soon after, and was buried on Fernando Po.

Richard Lander. The discoverer of the termination of the Niger, In his African Costume. Respectfully dedicated to the Committee and Subscribers to the Lander Column at Truro.
Painted by Wm. Brockedon, F.R.S. Engraved by C. Turner, A.R.A.
London, Published July 13 1835, by Colnaghi, Son & Co. Printsellers to their Majesties, Pall Mall East.
Proof mezzotint, platemark 355 x 255mm (14 x 10").
Richard Lemon Lander (1804 - 1834), traveller in Africa. After travels in the West Indies and work as a servant in London, Lander travelled to west Africa with the Scottish explorer Hugh Clapperton in 1825. They crossed the Niger, and after Clapperton's death in Sokoto, Lander returned to England. Dissatisfied with the menial job he had obtained at the customs' house in London, Lander undertook a second expedition to Africa with his brother John, to trace the source and course of the Niger. Sailing to Cape Coast (now in Ghana), they travelled to Bussa and sailed upstream as far as Yelwa. Heading downstream in canoes they were robbed and nearly killed by locals at Kerre, and at Igbo Ora they were imprisoned by the king and only released after payment of a large ranson. Eventually the Landers found that the river flowed into the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlandtic coast, rather than Lake Chad as many had thought. They arrived back in England in 1831 and their journal of the expedition were published the following year. In 1832 Lander led an unsuccessful expedition hoping to use the Niger as a trade route to open trade with the countries of central Africa. He was shot by middlemen who wanted European traders to remain on the coast and died on the island of Fernando Po (Bioko). Fine engraving after the portrait by Brockedon now in the National Portrait Gallery, London. The print was dedicated to subscribers to the memorial erected on Lemon Street in Lander's hometown of Truro, Cornwall in 1835, which collapsed the following year although its replacement is still standing.
For another portrait of Lander see ref. 22926; for a set of views along the Niger made from sketches by the Landers see ref. 37241; for Lander's grave on Fernando Po see ref. 14920.

Macpherson, Samuel Charles, Voyageur, né a Aberdeen, 1806.
Pencil drawing. 155 x 235mm.
Macpherson (1806-60), was a political agent in India who participated in the Trigonometrical Survey of India. In 1854 he was posted to Gwalior, the capital of Sindhia, the most powerful native ruler in Central India. By recognising that Sindhia's minister, Dinkar Rao, was a statesman of the first order and should be supported, the state's revenue went from deficit to surplus. When the India Mutiny broke out in 1857, Dinkar, influenced by Macpherson, kept the Gwalior contingent and Sindhia's own army from joining the rebellion.

Pub by H. Colburn, London, 1829.
Hand coloured aquatint. Sheet: 130 x 220mm (5 x 8½").
A portrait of doctor and traveller Richard Robert Madden (1798-1806) dressed in Syrian costume. He is shown taking the pulse of a woman who demurely extends her arm through a nearly-closed door. This portrait is the frontispiece to Madden's first volume of his 'Travels in Turkey, Egypt, Nubia and Palestine in 1824, 1825, 1826, 1827 and 1833' published in 1833. As a physician, Madden was permitted into areas of the cities in which he travelled which were usually out of bounds for a westerner. This was a benefit he seems to have made much use of for he writes 'I have attended for many months past, on the hareems of all classes; and even in the humblest I have found no dearth of either luxury or loveliness...my skill and patience was exercised on all the ladies, though in reality, only one required assistance.'

Engraving on india, with very large margins. Plate 291 x 202mm. 11½ x 8".
Sir John Ross (1777-1856), the Scottish Rear Admiral and Arctic explorer. He became an Arctic explorer after distinguished naval service in the Napoleonic Wars. In 1818, he made his first voyages in search of the Northwest Passage to China. However, deciding the route was blocked by mountains, Ross's reputation suffered when it was later shown that the mountains were an optical illusion. Ross rebounded by attracting funding, from the gin distiller Felix Booth, to command the first steam ship into the Arctic on another voyage to locate the Northwest Passage (1829-33).
