Description: Iles Sandwich - Vue du Morai du Roi a Kayakakoua [Kayakakoua? Kealakekua or Kailua-Kona] drawn by Jacques Arago and by Maurin. *Marvelous image of a ceremonial reception of French Naval Officers in Hawaii, from Jacques Arago's rare account of Freycinet's travels around the world from 1817 to 1820. First published in 1822, Arago's account met with much success. This plate is newly drawn by N. Maurin after the orginal sketchbook by Jacques Arago, who had become blind.
