Description:
Scarce engraving of the Chinese cemetery at Coupang, from the important ill fated French voyage of discovery under Nicholas Baudin. The view is at Coupang, present day Kupang which was an important trading port and was used as a resupply point for many other important voyages in the region, including those of Flinders and Freycinet’s Uranie voyage. Lesueur was employed to illustrate the account of Baudin’s voyage.

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.
