About the Item
Title: Astrolabe Navigates the French Pass and Bay in New Zealand
Description: This dual-panel lithograph, circa 1836, highlights dramatic maritime and coastal scenes from Dumont d'Urville's Astrolabe expedition in New Zealand. The top image depicts the French Pass, where the Astrolabe navigates through turbulent waters, framed by rugged hills under a moody sky. The ship’s precarious position amidst swirling currents emphasizes the challenges faced by explorers in uncharted waters.
The lower image showcases the Astrolabe anchored in a tranquil bay, surrounded by verdant hills and coastal cliffs. Canoes with Maori figures paddle alongside the ship, while groups gather on the shore, illustrating moments of cross-cultural interaction between the crew and the local Maori community. The tranquil setting of the bay contrasts sharply with the dramatic navigation of the French Pass above.
This artwork, created by Louis Auguste de Sainson and reproduced in Brodtmann’s Entdeckungs, Reise der Franzosischen Corvette Astrolabe, is a testament to the daring spirit of exploration and the natural beauty of New Zealand's coastal landscapes.
Condition Report: Light toning and minor foxing in the margins, with minimal edge wear. The image areas are clear and well-preserved, with excellent contrast and detail. Overall in very good condition.
