Paris: La Perouse, 1797. Book. Very good+ condition. Unbound. First Edition. Folio. A large map in black and white. The map is included in the Atlas volume of La Perouse's Voyages. The west coast of North America is shown as south as Baja California and north to above 70 degrees latitude. Shows part of China, and all of Japan and Kamtschatka, and an attractive depiction of the Behring Straits and the Alaskan Archipelago. There are about a dozen small dark spots, and dozens of others that are tiny, but the map remains quite clean retaining large margins..
