A little history to avoid confusion between La Pérouse's Frégate de l'Astrolabe and Dumont d'Urville's Corvette de l'Astrolabe.
During his voyage to retrace the steps of La Pérouse's lost expedition under the reign of Louis XVI in 1789, Dumont d'Urville decided, as a tribute, to rename his vessel La Coquille in L'Astrolabe, La Pérouse's lost vessel whose shipwreck remains he found.
During his new geographical exploration campaign in the waters of the South Pole, it was aboard this ship, the Corvette L'Astrolabe, that Dumont d'Urville discovered the Adélie Land in Antarctica.
These superb plates date from that exploration campaign.
