Vue des Îsles de L'Amirauté
Piron del. Dien scripsit. Imprimée chez Dien.
[Paris: H.J.Jansen, 1800.]
Engraving. 310 x 440mm (12¼ x 17¼").
View in the Admiralty Islands, in the Manus Province of Papua New Guinea, with locals spear-fishing from canoes. In 1788 Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse set sail from Botany Bay and was never seen again. Despite the upheaval of the French Revolution the National Assembly was moved to send an expedition in search of their lost hero, 1791-3, under Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux. Despite finding no trace of La Perouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists, especially in Australia. This account, compiled by the expedition's botanist, Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière, was published as 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', with natural history plates by Redouté and Audebert. The work even has its own abbreviation in botantical literature, 'Voy.Rech.Perouse'.

New London Magazine. M.r Sadler, The first English Ærostatist. M.r Arnold, The first unsuccessful Aerial Adventurer.
Thornton sculp.
Published by Alex..r Hogg at the kings Arms N.o16 Paternoster Row, De[c. 31. 1785.]
Engraving, plate 125 x 200mm (5 x 7¾"). Publication line partially obscured.
Oval portraits of James Sadler (1753 – 1828) and Stuart Amos Arnold. Sadler was the first English balloonist and the second person, after Vincenzo Lunardi (1754 – 1806), to make a balloon ascent in England. He was an eminent scientist and made a number of important discoveries; notably that hot air, rather than smoke, as the Montgolfiers had wrongly concluded, was required for airborne propulsion, managed tomanufacture hydrogen at a time when the element was so new it hadn’t even been named and was the first to create an adjustable fire in the basket to manipulate the balloon’s altitude. Arnold is most famous for his balloon that launched 31 August 1785 from St George's Fields, London, which ended in disaster after it got caught on some railings.

Etching, illustration to a book, sheet/etched frame 100 x 245mm, 4 x 9¾". A fragment, with French letterpress to verso, rare. No margin outside border; staining upper right.
A wolf or fox's(?) internal organs are examined around a table by scientists; some consult charts and open books. Other learned figures conversing in groups behind, human and animal skeletons and skulls against the far wall. Possibly for Claude Perrault's 'Me´moires pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des animaux', the first important work on comparative anatomy. The frontispiece represents a meeting of the Acade´mie des sciences. The head and tail-pieces, plates and decorations were engraved by Sébastien Le Clerc (1637-1714). Le Clerc was a printmaker, draughtsman and military engineer who entered the Académie in 1672 and was later appointed professor of geometry and perspective.

Mezzotint, very scarce. 440 x 340mm (17¼ x 13¼). Slight scratch bottom right.
François Jean Dominique Arago (1786-1853), French mathematician, astronomer, whose recalculation of the Paris Meridian are commemorated by the 135 Arago medallions set into the ground through Paris. In the 1848 Revolution he joined the Provisional Government, in which he was responsible for abolishing flogging in the French Navy and then succeeded in procuring the abolition of slavery in the French colonies. In May he briefly served as Prime Minister of France, until the collective resignation of the Executive Power Commission in June. When Napoleon III took power in 1851 an oath of allegiance from all its functionaries, was required: Arago sent in his resignation as astronomer at the Bureau des Longitudes rather than take the oath, but Louis-Napoleon refused it and made "an exception in favour of a savant whose works had thrown lustre on France, and whose existence the government would regret to embitter."

Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820), English naturalist, botanist and patron of the natural sciences holding a 'Carte de la Lune par J. Russell' (map of the moon by J. Russell). Banks was leading founder of the African Association, a British organisation dedicated to the exploration of Africa, and a member of the Society of Dilettanti, which helped to establish the Royal Academy. He joined James Cook on his first voyage around the Pacific, and they came across New Zealand and Australia, where Cook mapped the coastline and made landfall at Botany Bay and at Endeavour River. Banks took a great interest in the British colonisation of the continent and was to be the greatest proponent of settlement of New South Wales. He was in fact the general advisor to the government on all Australian interests.

Rugendas, who came from a family including several notable artists, travelled to Brazil in 1821 as draughtsman with the Russian diplomat Baron de Langsdorff’s scientific expedition. However, Rugendas left the expedition, discovering Brazil for himself and returning to Europe in 1825 with the extraordinary collection of drawings which provided the material for 'Voyage pittoresque'. Encouraged by the German scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, Rugendas returned to Latin America in 1831, living until 1845 in Mexico and Chile with shorter stays in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Uruguay, and drawing and painting prolifically throughout this time. He returned to Bavaria, where nearly 3000 drawings and paintings were acquired by the local government, but he then went back to live in Brazil between 1845 and 1846.

However, Rugendas left the expedition, discovering Brazil for himself and returning to Europe in 1825 with the extraordinary collection of drawings which provided the material for 'Voyage pittoresque'. Encouraged by the German scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, Rugendas returned to Latin America in 1831, living until 1845 in Mexico and Chile with shorter stays in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Uruguay, and drawing and painting prolifically throughout this time. He returned to Bavaria, where nearly 3000 drawings and paintings were acquired by the local government, but he then went back to live in Brazil between 1845 and 1846.

Lithograph, printed area 260 x 330mm (10¼ x 13").
Stretch of Rio de Janeiro coastline formerly known as the 'Praia dos Mineiros'. Plate from 'Voyage pittoresque au Brésil' (1827-35), a volume of lithographs after drawings by Johann Moritz Rugendas (1802-58). Rugendas, who came from a family including several notable artists, travelled to Brazil in 1821 as draughtsman with the Russian diplomat Baron de Langsdorff’s scientific expedition. However, Rugendas left the expedition, discovering Brazil for himself and returning to Europe in 1825 with the extraordinary collection of drawings which provided the material for 'Voyage pittoresque'. Encouraged by the German scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, Rugendas returned to Latin America in 1831, living until 1845 in Mexico and Chile with shorter stays in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Uruguay, and drawing and painting prolifically throughout this time. He returned to Bavaria, where nearly 3000 drawings and paintings were acquired by the local government, but he then went back to live in Brazil between 1845 and 1846.
