Description:
Rare lithograph from the official account by Abel du Petit-Thouars, Voyage Autour du Monde sur La Venus 1836-1839.
The Venus had arrived at Callao on 13/5/37 and one month stay during which Dortet de Tessan was sent to chart the shoal Hormigas off the north point of San Lorenzo Island, while Dupetit-Thouars went to Lima on official visits. From Calao the Venus sailed west on 14/6/37 to check on the existence of the island of St Paul, shown on some old charts which Dupetit-Thouars decided did not exist.
Romuald Georges Menard (1778 - 1846)
French cartographer and surveyor. He was attached to the Cadastral Survey of the city of Paris and is best known for his Atlas National des Departments et des Possessions de la France in which all the maps are beautifully embellished.
