"Carte de l'Oceanie Contenant l'Australie, la Polynesie et les Iles Asiatiques", Lapie, Alexander Emile & Pierre

This finely engraved chart covers the islands of the South Pacific from Southeast Asia through Hawaii, and from Australia through the Bass Islands. The map is intensely detailed, showing names of islands and island groups, harbors, channels and straits. This interesting map was published by Colonel Pierre Lapie (1777-1850) and his son Alexandre Emile, who was the Royal Geographer to the King in Paris. The map was engraved by Lallemand.
