About the Item

The Corvette Astrolabe in Peril at the Rocks near Legh Island (New Ireland) This engraving depicts the dramatic moment when the French corvette Astrolabe encounters perilous seas near the rocky shores of Legh Island, New Ireland. The scene showcases the ship braving the waves with fully unfurled sails against a stormy backdrop. This piece highlights the challenges of 19th-century maritime exploration, combining technical detail with artistic drama. A stunning representation of naval exploration during Dumont d'Urville's voyage. Condition Report: Very good overall; crisp image with light age-toning, due to age and handling over the last 200 years. Minimal foxing present in the margins. Keywords: Corvette Astrolabe, Legh Island, New Ireland, maritime art, Dumont d'Urville, 19th-century exploration, naval engraving, perilous seas.
