A lithographic view of New Guinea. It was published in Dumont D’Urville’s ‘Voyage de la Corvette L’Astrolabe’ issued in several parts in 1830. The voyage was searching for the French Admiral and explorer, le Comte de La Pérouse. His voyage ended in tragedy when they were lost after leaving Botany Bay in March 1788. It was not until 1827 that their fate was known, this book marks that finding. Ferguson 1341; Hill p. 88.
