Note:
This important detailed sea chart, made by order of Comte de Maurepas -minister of the French Navy to King Louis XV- depicts the Indian Ocean, surrounding countries and the west coast of Australia -here still named 'Novelle Hollande'. Depicts different navigation itineraries. It is noted on the coast of Australia the first French contact with the Australian coast at Eendracht Land in 1687 by Duquesne-Guitton. It is also recorded the English naming of Shark Bay by Dampier in 1699 and the Dutch visit to Swan River by Vlamingh in 1697. During the 18th century the French navy, under the command of Comte de Maurepas, regained its lost prestige and France was once again recognized as a maritime power. The Indian Ocean increasingly became an area where the French endeavored to expand their influence and so sea charts were required to provide up-to-date information.
