    Grotte Sur L’isle Enderby – Isles Auckland.

    An original lithograph from a drawing by Louis Le Breton (1818-1866) published as part of the great “Atlas Pittoresque” to accompany “Voyage au Pole Sud et dans l’Oceanie sur les corvettes l’Astrolabe et la Zelee … sous commandement de M.J. Dumont d’Urville”.

    A detailed view of a cave on Enderby with indigenous birds and a small boat with figures in the foreground. Dumont d’Urville’s ships the Astrolabe and the Zelee can be seen in the background. Incidentally it was one of three scientific expeditions to visit the islands that year, the American Wilkes expedition and also that of Britain Sir James Clark Ross

    Lithographed by P Blanchard. A sizeable image on sturdy paper – 35 x 21cm to the edge of the image with very wide margin. Some light marks more towards the edge of the wide margin, none on the lithograph itself as can be seen from the scan – overall in pretty good condition.

    The Auckland Islands are 465 kms south of the South Island of New Zealand. Enderby is a smaller island in the group to the Northern tip of the main Auckland Island. There are no permanent inhabitants. They are a World Heritage site and classifies as sub-Antarctic. They were first discovered by Bristow in 1806 on a whaling voyage. He named them after William Eden, Baron Auckland. He also named Enderby Island the subject of this image after Samuel Enderby who sponsored his voyage.

    Good early image of sub-Antarctic Enderby in the Aucklands
