[Paris: H.J.Jansen, 1800.]
Engraving. 305 x 445mm (12 x 17½").
Two portraits: Toubau, son of the King of the Friendly Isles, and Vouacécé, a man of Fiji who the French met in Tongatapu, 150 leagues away. 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'.

Indigenous Tasmanians fishing. According to an English translation, 'Getting on the rocks, that projected into the sea, they plunged from them to the bottom in search of shell-fish [...] At length [...] they appeared, and convinced us that they were capable of remaining under water twice as long as our ablest divers. An instant was sufficient for them to take breath, and then they dived again. This they did repeatedly, till their baskets were nearly full'.
