Description:
Rare lithograph of San Francisco from one of the rarest of all French voyages of discovery.
The Venus had left Kamchatka for the Aleutian Islands, having confirmed that the island of ‘Nuniwak’, shown on some British charts, did not exist, he next looked for ‘Saavaty Island’, supposedly discovered by some Japanese sailors, but with the same result. The Venus then headed for California and anchored in Monterey Bay on 18/10/37. Dupetit-Thouars found the settlement in ruins, with only a handful monks and few native American families left. The ships stayed until 14/11/37.
Rare lithograph from the official account by Abel du Petit-Thouars, Voyage Autour du Monde sur La Venus 1836-1839.
