Carte d'une partie de la Mer du Sud.
Framed size. 88 x 58 cm
PRICE. $1,200. plus P&P. (Price includes GST. )
An original example of the first French map to show the East Coast of Australia and the circumnavigation of New Zealand. Based on the British map published just a year before by Dr John Hawkesworth in his official account of the first journey of Cook, the scant concern for copyright was typical of the times.
Printed off engraved copper, the print run went from 1774-85, giving the delightful possibility that this map existed when James Cook was still alive.(Cook was killed in 1779.) French knowledge of the area at this time was highly advanced due to the activities of Marion du Fresne. In 1769 the French East Indies Company ceased trading and du Fresne took advantage of the idle shipping to explore the area. He was killed in New Zealand in June 1772. Cook returned from his first journey in 1771 and the published material was first officially released in 1773.
The map itself is in good condition with the usual creasing. There is no loss of any image but the right margin is missing the plate mark. It has been framed using materials ensuring a long display life.
A signed statement of authenticity is glued to the back.
