Title of the map:

"CARTE DES ILES HAWAII Pour servir au Voyage Pittoresque Dressée par Mr. D'URVILLE 1834"

Large antique map of the Hawaiian islands with an inset of the Ile de Oahou, engraved by Ambroise Tardieu.

From "Voyage pittoresque autour du monde" by Jules Dumont D'Urville (1790-1842), a French officier, who explored the south and western Pacific, Australia and New Zealand between 1826 and 1829.

Dumont d'Urville circumnavigated the globe for the second time between 1826 and 1829. On this expedition his accomplishments included significant Pacific discoveries. His records were so detailed that for the first time the scattered islands of the South Pacific could be divided into three major groups: Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia. Although the expedition did not pass through Hawaii, this map is interesting as it is a very early (and perhaps the first) use of the native name Hawaii for the entire island chain.
