EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic engraving of the "Map of the South China Sea, from the itinerary of La Perouse" dating back to 1787. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 18th century, this intricate map provides a glimpse into the exploration and navigation routes taken by Jean François de Galaup, comte de Laperouse. Laperouse was a renowned French Navy officer and explorer whose ill-fated expedition mysteriously disappeared in Oceania. This remarkable engraving offers valuable insights into his journey through Asia's vast waters, specifically focusing on the South China Sea. The map highlights various coastal regions including those of China, Korea, and even parts of Southeast Asia such as the Philippines. With meticulous attention to detail, this historical artifact not only serves as a navigational guide but also captures the essence of adventure and discovery during that era. It allows us to appreciate Laperouse's courage and determination as he ventured into uncharted territories. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving is a testament to human curiosity and exploration. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of our innate desire to explore new horizons while acknowledging those who came before us in their quest for knowledge about our world's oceans.
