Lot Description
Ten Works from Atlas de Voyage a la recherche de la Perouse

10 plates, engraved by Copia after Piron; each framed.
Framed dimensions 17 x 22 1/2 inches.
Property of Mr. Akko van Acker, Miami Beach
Labillardière's work was published in two volumes, becoming very popular and translated into English in the same year; Voyage in search of La Pérouse (four editions) was issued by John Stockdale with similar success. The contents include his description of the journey, an atlas, and illustrations of ethnographic and natural history subjects. The work is noted for its early botanical illustrations of Redouté, birds by Jean-Baptiste Audebert, and engravings produced from the surviving illustrations of Piron.
