About the Item
The engraving depicts the French explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville hoisting the French colors upon a small rock in the Magellan Straits. This act symbolizes the claiming of territory during his expedition, which took place between 1766 and 1769. Bougainville's voyage was significant as it was the first French circumnavigation of the globe and contributed to the European understanding of the Pacific and its lands.
