Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse (1741–1788), are highly regarded 18th-century French maritime charts published in the 1797 Atlas du Voyage de la Pérouse. These maps, often engraved by P.F. Tardieu for the Imprimerie de la République in Paris, document his Pacific expedition, including key, early detailed surveys of the Californian/Oregon coast and Japan.
Known for meticulous coastal detail, including the route of his expedition, the Astrolabe and Boussole.
