Description:
Baudin voyage of exploration and discovery. This voyage charted the Australian coast and visited Sydney in 1803.
From Peron, Voyage decouvertes aux terres australes.
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.
