Description
The chart is more commonly known from it's appearance in "Navigation et Geographie’ part of the Peron / Freycinet atlas, published by Freycinet in 1812". This is the edition of the extremely rare atlas Neptune des côtes orientales et du grand archipel d'Asie, published in 1807. The atlas was a supplement to the atlas series published by Hydrographic office and prepared by C.F Beautemps-Beaupré, who is now regarded as the father of modern French hydrography.
The map is more commonly known from it's appearance in the atlas which accompanied the Atlas volume (volume 3) of Freycinet's 'Voyage de decouvertes aux terres Australes . . .'. However the maps for the Neptune edition are printed on very thick and larger paper. The usual text in upper right corner is not there and but instead "N°. 317" is engraved and instead of Bouclet's name the words "Prix Deux Francs" in bottom.
Very rare.
A later edition bears the stamp of the Hydrographic Office.
Very rare.
This is the first thorough survey of the bay, which is marked not only Dampier's time there, but also the other Dutch ships who touched there.
In the lower left corner is an inset showing three historical renderings of the 'Baie des Chiens-Marins'. The first, to the left, is from a Dutch chart of 1697. To the left a chart from 1772.
The Dutch had touched on the west coast of Australia throughout the seventeenth century, but they were unable to chart large swathes of the coast with any great accuracy. The middle inset is from Dampier's visit to the area, in 1699. The coastline of Western Australia are largely based on early Dutch discoveries, including ships that were stranded, shipwrecked, and blown off course.
Shark Bay is a World Heritage Site in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, and is located approximately 800 kilometres north of Perth, on the westernmost point of the Australian continent.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
