Monument Éleve A Hawaii au Capitaine Cook. Plate 47.

1 / 2

Monument Éleve A Hawaii au Capitaine Cook. Plate 47.

Auguste-Nicolas Vaillant (2 July 1793 - 1 November 1858) was a French sailor who worked his way up through the ranks from common seaman to rear-admiral. In 1836–37 he captained a 21-month voyage round the globe in which the scientists made many useful botanical and zoological observations, later described in an 11-volume illustrated account. He was briefly Minister of Navy and Colonies in 1851 during the French Second Republic.

Hill I, 303. The main aim of this voyage was political in nature; to show the French flag in various areas in the Pacific, to extend protection to a number of French subjects in Hawaii, China and Cochin China and to draw up comprehensive reports on the countries visited, including Brazil, Chile, the Marianas, and the Philippines. Plates include fine views of Rio-Janeiro, Montevideo, Valparaiso, Lima, Colombia, Sandwich Islands, Hawaii, Philippines, China, Cochin-China, Singapore, Malacca, Penang and India.

Lithograph printed on Chine collé from "Voyage Autour du Monde exécuté pendant les années 1836 et 1837 sur la corvette La Bonite", with illustrations by Lauvergne and Fisquet and lithographed by Bichebois. Paper size: 32.5cm x 49.3cm. Mounted: 40cm x 50cm.
