Description
Print of steel engraving titled „Vue de Touranne“.
Author Jules Sébastien César Dumont d'Urville.
Engraved by Lurnaim.
From „Voyage pittoresque Autour du Monde, resume general des voyages decouvertes, public sous la direction de M. Dumont D’Urville, a Paris, chez L. Tenre, Libraire-Editeur, 1834.
Jules Sébastien César Dumont d'Urville (23 May 1790 – 8 May 1842) was a French explorer, naval officer and rear admiral, who explored the south and western Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica. As a botanist and cartographer he left his mark, giving his name to several seaweeds, plants and shrubs, and places such as D'Urville Island.
Đà Nẵng or Tourane is one of the major port cities in Vietnam (in addition to Ho Chi Minh City and Haiphong) and the biggest city on the South Central Coast of Vietnam; the city is situated on the coast of the Eastern Sea, at the opening end of the Hàn River. Đà Nẵng is the commercial and educational center of Central Vietnam, with a well-sheltered, easily accessible port; its location on the path of National Route 1A and the North–South Railway makes it a hub for transportation. It is located within 100 km of several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Imperial City of Huế, the Old Town of Hội An, and the Mỹ Sơn ruins. The city was previously known as Cửa Hàn during early Đại Việt settlement, and as Tourane (or Turon) during French colonial rule. It is the third biggest economic center in Vietnam (after Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi).
Approx. image size 13, 1 x 9, 2/17, 3 x 13, 1 cm.Condition: good.
