![To Captanis [sic] Robert and George C. Gambier, and Captain Robert Elliott, R.N., this View of the Sailors Asylum](jpegs/10674.jpg)
To Captanis [sic] Robert and George C. Gambier, and Captain Robert Elliott, R.N., this View of the Sailors Asylum In Dock Street, Wellclose Square, Is respectfully inscribed By their obedient Servant The Publisher.
London: Published as the Act directs, by W.K. Wakefield, Wellclose Square, & 1, Warwick Square, Paternoster Row, April 10th 1829.
Lithograph, sheet 275 x 380mm. 10¾ x 15".
In 1827 a group of philanthropists founded the Destitute Sailors' Asylum. This is a very rare view inside the converted warehouse in Dock Street they used, north of the London Docks in London's East End. At first, the Asylum provided shelter and food for shipwrecked and destitute seamen, but it soon became clear that many other seamen needed help. A committee was set up and funds were raised to build a Sailors' Home in nearby Well Street. This opened in 1835.

Costumes des habitans de la Baie de Langle.
Dessine par Duche-de Vancy. Gravé par Cathelin. L. Aubert scripsit.
[Paris: L'Imprimerie de la Republique, An V, 1797.]
Engraving. 390 x 560mm, 15½ x 22".
La Perouse's officers among the inhabitants of 'Langle Bay', which was named after La Perouse's second-in-command, Paul Antoine Fleuriot de Langle, who was killed on Samoa, December 1787. The site is probably Tomari Bay, Sakhalin. 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..'.
