Detailed seachart showing the track of La Pérouse along the southern most trip of Korea, with Quelpaerts Islands (Jeju, with the vulcano Halla-san in Halla Mountain). This chart is representing the visit of the French Admiral and explorer, le Comte de La Pérouse to Korea in 1786. La Perouse set sail from France in 1785 to continue the discoveries of Captain Cook. He was shipwrecked in 1788 but his narrative, maps, and views survived and were published in 1797. This copy consists of the Atlas only to the First French edition.
