Description:
Native huts at Peron Peninsula, Western Australia. Endracht Land (View of Bernier Island and part of Dorre Island).
Eendrachtsland was one of the earliest names given by Europeans to Australia. In 1616 Dirk Hartog sailed from the west in the Dutch East India Company ship Eendracht and encountered the west coast of the Australian mainland, near what is now known as Dirk Hartog Island in Western Australia. After leaving the island, the Eendracht sailed in a north-west direction along the West Australian coastline, Hartog charting as he went. He gave this land the name ‘t Landt van d’Eendracht or “Eendrachtsland“, after his ship, the Eendracht, meaning “Unity”.

Charles Alexander Lesueur (1778 - 1846)
French natural history and topographical artist on board the lavishly equipped scientific expedition prepared by the Institut de France with the ambitions to explore the southern parts of the Eastern Hemisphere, in two corvettes, Geographe and the Naturaliste. Lesueur was taken on not as an artist or scientist but as an assistant gunner. Nichloas Baudin the commander of the expedition soon discovered Lesueur's talents and employed him as an illustrator for his private journal. His prolific output and the quality of his drawings during this important voyage is a testament to his artistic talents.
