About This Item
Paris: Gide, 1840. First printing. Engraving from "Voyage autour du monde sur la fregate la Venus, pendant les annees 1836-39..."
Attractive lithograph, with sepia block color, of the tiny town of Acapulco and surrounding countryside, drawn from the Venus at anchor in the bay, with two small boats in the foreground.
In 1836, Dupetit-Thouars was appointed to command this expedition to the Pacific to look after French commercial and political interests. He visited Hawaii, Kamchatka, Tahiti, California, Acapulco, Easter Island, the Cook Islands, Rarotonga, New Zealand, Australia and Mauritius. In California, he anchored at Monterey Bay, where supplies were scarce and even water was difficult to obtain after a long summer drought. His survey work continued down the coast down to Acapulco.
Drawn by Menard, lith. by Sabatier. 38.5 x 19.5 cms plus wide margins. The image is crisp and clean.
