DESCRIPTION

He was shipwrecked in 1788 but his narrative, maps, and views survived and were published in 1797. Published 'Atlas du voyage de la Perouse' No.35.
Two engraved maps. Scale of maps: San Diego (ca. 1:100,000), San Blas (ca. 1:105,000). Relief shown by hachures; depths by soundings. "L. Aubert scripsit" replaced by "prix deux francs."
