Superb engraving from Voyage Autour du Monde, being the voyage of the Coquille commanded by Louis Duperrey in 1822-25. The ship visited many Pacific Islands including New Guinea, Tonga, Society Islands, New Zealand, Tahiti and Australia. Thousands of specimens were collected, many of which were new to science.
