Édition originale de la relation du voyage de Bruny d'Entrecasteaux, envoyé par Louis XVI en Océanie à la recherche de La Pérouse. Sa rédaction a été confiée au capitaine de vaisseau Rossel, qui s'est appuyé sur le journal laissé par d'Entrecasteaux, emporté par le scorbut au cours du trajet. Elle est illustrée de 33 planches dépliantes dans les volumes de texte et de 39 cartes et vues dans l'atlas , réalisées pendant l'expédition et qui étaient d'un niveau exceptionnellement élevé, en particuliers les 12 magnifiques cartes de l'Australie occidentale et de la Tasmanie qui enregistraient la côte avec précision pour la première fois , la nouvelle méthode de Beautemps-Beaupré , révolutionna la cartographie . En février 1791, inquiet du sort de l'expédition commandée par La Pérouse, qui aurait dû être rentrée en France depuis plusieurs mois, Louis XVI fit envoyer deux frégates à sa recherche, symboliquement rebaptisées La Recherche et L'Espérance. Cette ambitieuse expédition quitta Brest en septembre, doubla le cap de Bonne-Espérance, visita plusieurs îles du Pacifique sud (la Tasmanie, la Nouvelle-Zélande, la Nouvelle-Calédonie, les îles Tonga, le Vanuatu, etc.) et se termina de façon chaotique à Sourabaya, un des principaux établissements hollandais situés sur l'île de Java. L'équipage y arriva diminué par la fatigue et la maladie , alors que la France avait changé de régime et était en guerre avec l'Angleterre, sans avoir trouvé la moindre trace de La Pérouse. Hormis son issue malheureuse, l'expédition fit des découvertes importantes dans le domaine de la géographie, de l'hydrographie et des sciences naturelles, et rapporta une liste de vocabulaires des peuples qu'elle rencontra (voir les pages 557-590 du premier volume). UN RÉCIT TRÈS RARE D'UN VOYAGE D'UNE IMPORTANCE ÉNORME POUR L'EXPLORATION DE L'AUSTRALIE ET DU PACIFIQUE Antoine Reymond Joseph de Bruni d'Entrecasteaux, dit le « chevalier d'Entrecasteaux » , entre dans la marine à l'age de 15 ans , combattit à Minorque , accompagna Chabert dans ses expéditions scientifique , prend le commandement de la flotte française dans l'océan indien , ouvre une nouvelle route de navigation vers la Chine , il devient gouverneur des Mascareignes jusqu'à sa nomination à la direction de l'expédition à la recherche de La Pérouse en 1791. Charles-François Beautemps-Beaupré, (Neuville-au-Pont 1766, Paris 1854), est un ingénieur hydrographe et cartographe français, membre de l'Académie des sciences et du Bureau des longitudes . Il est considéré comme le père de l'hydrographie moderne . Chadenat, n°5056. , Sabin, n°22671 FIRST EDITION. D'Entrecasteaux joined the French navy in 1754 and fought in 1756 at Minorca. He assumed command of the French fleet of the East Indies and in 1787, was appointed governor of Mauritius and the Isle of Bourbon. While in command in search for La Perouse in 1791-92, he determined the position of Amsterdam Island, explored the coastlines of New Caledonia, Tasmania, and New Holland, and located several groups of islands. Many of the charts made by the expedition (particularly those of South Australia produced by Beautemp Beaupre) were of unusually high standards, and the 12 magnificent maps of Western Australia and Tasmania recorded the coast accurately for the first time. They are regarded the most significant ever made. A VERY RARE ACCOUNT OF A VO.

In 1786 D'Entrecasteaux was made commander of the Indian Station of the French navy. While there he made his first significant exploratory voyage, sailing 'La Résolution' to China, pioneering a new route via Sunda Strait and the Moluccas, which could be used in the monsoon. "When the term of his office expired Bruny was appointed governor of Ile de France and Ile Bourbon in the Indian Ocean. Services there, together with his reputation as a seaman and discoverer in the monsoon belt, brought him to the notice of Louis XVI, and when the National Assembly decided to send an expedition to search for the missing La Pérouse Bruny was chosen to lead it. "With two ships,'La Recherche' and 'L'Espérance' under Huon de Kermadec, he left Brest on 28 September 1791 with orders to sail via the Cape of Good Hope, along the south coast of Australia from Cape Leeuwin to the east, and then into the Pacific. The object was twofold: to search for the missing navigator and to make scientific discoveries and surveys on the way, checking in particular the accuracy of the early Dutch and d'Apres charts of the South Indian and South Pacific Oceans. A number of learned men sailed with the expedition, including the hydrographic engineer Beautemps-Beaupré, the botanist La Billardière, the artist Piron, the astronomer l'abbé Bertrand, and the learned sailor de Rossel who later wrote the history of the voyage. "At the Cape of Good Hope Bruny learned from a letter that clothes and objects of French origin had been seen in the Admiralty Islands, so he decided to make straight for the Pacific. In southern latitudes he sighted and surveyed Amsterdam Island; he then sailed for Van Diemen's Land, anchoring in Storm Bay on 23 April 1792. Here, while refreshing ships and crews, he made detailed surveys and charts of the southern coast, discovered that Adventure Bay was on an island (Bruny Island) and sailed through the channel (D'Entrecasteaux Channel) between it and the mainland. The expedition then made for New Caledonia, which was charted in the same thorough way, and between June and September he searched the seas to the north of New Guinea. He refitted at Amboina, and on 14 October sailed for the south-west coast of New Holland to carry out his instructions in those waters. The two ships sighted land near Cape Leeuwin on 5 December 1792 near St Allouarn Island, discovered by the French in 1772. The expedition then sailed eastward, exploring the coast of Nuyts Land to 129° 18' E, near D'Entrecasteaux Reef. Running short of water, on 4 January 1793 Bruny sailed for Van Diemen's Land, thus missing the coasts later discovered by George Bass and Matthew Flinders. He remained there from 21 January to 28 February, surveying and completing his charts and notes about the inhabitants. He sailed for New Zealand to investigate the coast, then north to scour the central Pacific for La Pérouse to the east of his previous course. On this leg of the voyage he surveyed Santa Cruz, which led him to within miles of the wrecked ships found later by Dumont d'Urville, and made many discoveries in the seas around the Solomon Islands and Bismarck Archipelago. Needing a refit Bruny made for the Dutch Islands, but died off the north-east of New Guinea on 20 July 1793" (Lesley R. Marchant for Australian Dictionary of National Biography).

"Sieur d'Entrecasteaux shall draw precise maps of every coastline and isle he encounters" (Fleurieu) First issue. Double-page engraved chart. Plate no. 1 from, the 'Atlas du voyage de Bruny-Dentrecasteaux, contre-amiral de France, commandant les fregates 'la Recherche' et 'l'Esperance', fait par ordre du gouvernement en 1791, 1792 et 1793 : publie par ordre de sa majeste l'empereur et roi, sous le ministere de son excellence le vice-amiral Decres. par C.F. Beautemps-Beaupre' (1807). A beautiful map of Australia, the East Indies, New Guinea and the islands of the western Pacific showing tracks of D'Entrecasteaux's ships, Recherche and Esperance in 1792-1793. Coastline of southeastern Australia and northern and western Tasmania is missing. From 29 September 1791 to 27 October 27 1793, Charles-François Beautemps-Beaupré (1766-1854) sailed aboard the frigate 'La Recherche' under the command of Antoine Bruny d'Entrecasteaux. The expedition's primary objective was to find trace of the missing Lapérouse expedition. By following the expedition's route to New Holland. "That will be the final destination of Sieur d'Entrecasteaux's expedition in search of Lapérouse's frigates. However, if these ships have indeed been swallowed by the sea, if the ocean has left no debris on any beaches, if after exhausting every possible avenue Sieur d'Entrecasteaux has no choice but to abandon this goal, as critical as it is, he shall at least have the satisfaction and glory of having made an immeasurable contribution to the perfecting of the field of cartography and the expansion of man's knowledge. Sieur d'Entrecasteaux shall draw precise maps of every coastline and isle he encounters. If these places have already been explored, he shall verify the accuracy of his predecessors' maps and descriptions" (Fleurieu, Mémoire du Roi pour servir d'instruction au sieur d'Entrecasteaux, September 16, 1791). The ships eventually came within reach of Vanikoro (the Salomon Islands), where shipwrecked survivors from La Boussole and L'Astrolabe were still living. D'Entrecasteaux died of scurvy off the coast of Java on July 20, 1793. After spending two years perfecting his art during every day of the voyage, Beautemps-Beaupré became the premier specialist of modern hydrography. In his work he skilfully combined the art of drawing with the precision of science. It was the first time that an expedition employed a full-time hydrographer. By and large, the task of surveying coastlines and sea bottoms had previously been entrusted to naval officers, for whom it was but one of many tasks. D'Entrecasteaux quickly realized the unique chance his expedition had of having such a talented specialist aboard. The more the search for Lapérouse seemed hopeless, the more Beautemps-Beaupré had time to fulfill his scientific and artistic mission. In 25 months, Beautemps-Beaupré drew 32 maps, at a monthly rate vastly greater than any other expedition of his time. The mapmakers Denis Decrès (1761-1820) was an officer in the French Navy who took part in numerous attacks against the English in the Antilles during the War of Independance, the Indies and Ireland. In 1793 he became Ship-of-the-Line Captain, then Chef de Division in March 1797 and Counter Admiral in April 1798, and was chosen by Napoleon Bonaparte to command Brueys's frigates in his Egyptian expedition. He took part in the Battle of the Nile, from whence he sailed to Malta with Villeneuve. After conducting a siege against the English navy led by Horatio Nelson, he was taken prisoner. He was freed after a prisoner exchange in August 1800, and on 2 October 1801 the First Consul promoted him to Minister of the Navy, replacing the engineer Pierre Alexandre Forfait. He was made Vice Admiral on May 30, 1804, and Duke in April 1813, and remained Minister of the Navy until 1814. He returned to the rank of Minister of the Navy during Napoleon's Hundred Days (from March 20 to June 22, 1815). Despite being granted a fleet that was too wea.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 1791 Admiral Bruny d'Entrecasteaux sailed with two ships from Revolutionary France to search for his compatriot, the explorer La Perouse, who was missing in the Pacific. Over a period of nearly two years he had held his ideologically divided expedition together. Without his exceptional maritime skills his men (and one cross-dressing woman!) might all have dieda "or played out the destructive fury of the Revolution on the quarterdeck before reaching Java. More than two centuries later, d'Entrecasteaux's account of his voyage remains a profound affirmation of his achievements. His humane, sensitive and even joyful encounters with the peoples of Australia and the Pacific make this a remarkably appealing book. Although d'Entrecasteaux failed to discover the fate of La Perouse, and perished in the attempt, his voyage was more than a mere rescue mission. Between 1791 and 1793 the expedition discovered the Derwent estuary and the D'Entrecasteaux Channel between Bruny Island and mainland Tasmania, and Esperance Bay and the Archipelago of the Recherche in Western Australia. D'Entrecasteaux's voyage also recorded some of the earliest observations of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania and south-western Australia, and detailed accounts of the islands and peoples of the Pacific, including New Zealand, Tonga, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands and New Guinea. D'Entrecasteaux died suddenly off the coast of New Guinea, reportedly afflicted by symptoms of scurvy in July 1793. In 1791, Admiral Bruny d'Entrecasteaux sailed from France to search for his compatriot, the explorer La Perouse. Although d'Entrecasteaux failed to discover the fate of La Perouse, his voyage had many achievements. It also yielded significant natural history collections and ethnographic observations in both Australia and the Pacific. This item is printed on demand.
