A lithographic view in the island of Ascension in the Atlantic Ocean. It was published in Dumont D’Urville’s ‘Voyage de la Corvette L’Astrolabe’ issued in several parts in 1830. The view represents the visit of the French Admiral and explorer, le Comte de La Pérouse in 1786. La Perouse’s voyage ended in tragedy when they were lost after leaving Botany Bay in March 1788. It was not until 1827 that their fate was known, this book marks that finding. Ferguson 1341; Hill p. 88.
