EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history as Louis XVI of France imparts his instructions to the Comte de Laperouse in 1785. The image portrays the monarch and the esteemed explorer engaged in conversation, with a map spread out before them. As Louis XVI gives his orders, one can sense the weight of responsibility on both men's shoulders. The Comte de Laperouse was embarking on a groundbreaking scientific voyage around the world, aiming to expand knowledge and explore uncharted territories. However, tragedy struck when his ships mysteriously vanished after leaving Australia in 1788. It wasn't until later that remnants of the expedition were discovered on Vanikoro Island in the South Pacific. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of Laperouse's ill-fated journey and highlights not only his courage but also the risks faced by explorers during this era. It also offers insight into Louis XVI's role as a patron of exploration and science. Against the backdrop of impending political turmoil leading up to the French Revolution, this image symbolizes an era marked by ambition, discovery, and uncertainty. It encapsulates themes such as monarchy, politics, European power dynamics, and ultimately reflects upon how historical events shaped our understanding of exploration. As we gaze upon this print today, it invites us to ponder not only these historical figures but also their enduring legacy within French culture and European history at large.
