Rarely seen map that shows, in great detail, the island and the tracts of Admiral Bruny-Dentrescasteaux's ships. The expedition searched for the lost expedition of La Perouse in 1792-93, at the height of the French Revolution. It ended in the East Indies amid open clashes between the Royalists and the Republicans in the crew. With two large equally detailed inset charts: Plan des Iles Beaupre Decouvertes and Plan du Havre de Balade Leve.
