This map was made by Jean François de Galaup, count of La Pérouse, a French naval officer and explorer. Promoted captain of the navy, he was chosen by the Charles Eugène Gabriel de La Croix, Marquis de Castries, Minister of Marine (1727-1801) and by king Louis XVI (1754-1793) to lead an expedition around the world aimed at completing the discoveries of James Cook (1728-1779) in the Pacific Ocean. He crossed the Pacific Ocean arrived in Macau, via the Philippines he then sailed north to the Kamchatka Peninsula. The map displays the most up to date cartography, especially along the North West Coast of America, North East Coast of Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. La Perouse's voyage is perhaps second only to James Cook in their impact on cartographic knowledge and discoveries in the Pacific Ocean in the second half of the 18th century. When La Pérouse arrived at Macau, he sold the furs acquired in Alaska and visited Bernardo Aleixo de Lemos e Faria (1754-1826) who was the Governor of Macau.
