Engraving on watermarked laid paper, 30 x 44.5 cm (plate-mark), sheet trimmed almost to the platemark, margins spotted, but a very good dark impression. Idyllically composed view of the Admiralty Islands, (now often referred to as Manus after the largest island), Papua New Guinea, prepared for the Atlas to Labillardiere's account of the "Voyage a la recherche de la Perouse". The beleaguered voyage searched in vain for La Perouse and the expedition's leader Rear-Admiral Bruny d'Entrecasteaux died of scurvy.
