Antique map titled 'Essai sur la Geographie de l'Ile Timor.'
A map showing Timor and the surrounding nearby islands (Floris, Sabrao, Solor, Lomblem, Panter, Ombai and Wetter. With an inset map of the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii). Source: 'Voyage autour du monde sur les corvettes Uranie et la Physicienne pendant les annees 1817, 1818, 1819 et 1820', Paris: 1825. This series of exquisitely engraved prints constitutes a unique documentation of exotic unknown lands and their inhabitants, made during the voyage of the Uranie (in honor of the muse of astronomy and geography). The expedition was led by Louis de Freycinet at the behest of the newly restored French king Louis XVIII and to restore prestige for the French nation.
Artists and Engravers: Made by an anonymous engraver after 'Louis de Freycinet'. Louis Claude de Saulces de Freycinet (1779-1841) was a French navigator who circumnavigated the earth. In 1811 he published the first map to show the complete coastline of Australia.
