Description:
An important aquatint depicting La Favourite under the command of the French navigator Cyrille Pierre Théodore Laplace (1793-1875), on his circumnavigation of the globe. Laplace was pivotal in the opening of French trade in the Pacific and instrumental in the establishment of the Hawaiian Catholic Church. He achieved the rank of captain. Laplace visited Australia, arriving at Hobart on 11 July. The ship left Hobart on 7 August, and set sail for Sydney, arriving on 16 August. In Sydney the crew went to numerous social events and left to a twenty-one gun salute on 21 September 1831. Laplace proposed a short break in New Zealand, and anchored in the Bay of Islands on 2 October. After his stay in New Zealand, Laplace headed east, arriving in Valparaíso on 14 November.

Barthelemy Lauvergne (1804 - 1871)
Lauvergne was from a family with no previous naval tradition. He first arrived in Australia on board the 'Astrolabe' for its 1826/1829 voyage of the Australian coast. His skills as a draughtsman helped him depict the landscapes and people he encountered.
