Pub Year 1988, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Baudin in Australian Waters: The Art Work of the French Voyage of Discovery to the Southern Lands, 1800-04, authored by Jacqueline Bonnemains, presents a comprehensive exploration of the artistic and scientific contributions of Captain Nicolas Baudin's expedition. Conducted between 1800 and 1804, this voyage significantly influenced the understanding of Australia's southern territories. The eye-catching drawings and paintings created by artists Charles-Alexandre Lesueur and Nicolas-Martin Petit form the focal point of this work, which aims to bring their significance to a broader audience.This illustrated catalogue not only showcases approximately 300 plates in colour and black and white but is also enriched with seven introductory essays. These essays delve into various aspects of the expedition, including its historical context, insights into the lives of the artists, the prevailing scientific ideas about 'natural man', and the development of the Lesueur Collection at the Muséum d?Histoire Naturelle in Le Havre, France, the expedition's home port. The catalogue covers an array of stunning and rare artistic representations that have largely remained unpublished outside of scientific literature. Among the highlighted works are depictions of the newly discovered coasts of southern and western Australia, as well as Tasmania (historically known as Van Diemen?s Land). The collection includes drawings of Aborigines in their natural habitats, featuring some of the earliest known portraits of Tasmanian Aborigines, alongside views of early settlements such as Port Jackson. Additionally, the catalogue presents a wealth of natural history illustrations, featuring various land and sea animals, some of which are now extinct, contributing to the scientific record of this pivotal expedition.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Captain Nicolas Baudin's early 19th-century voyage of scientific discovery to Australia is a little-known event in French and Australian history. Yet that voyage played an important part in the history of Australian and Pacific colonization, and in the long story of worldwide scientific exploration. Departing Le Havre in 1800, Baudin's expedition comprised two ships--the Naturaliste and the GÃ ographe--and 238 men, including 22 scientists. For most of the next three-and-a half years they travelled along the western and southern coasts of Australia, charting the coastline and landscape, studying the habits of Aborigines, and collecting specimens of the region's indigenous animal life. This book is a collection of the ethnographical and zoological drawings and paintings resulting from Baudin's voyage. Now housed at the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle in Le Havre, these rare and beautiful illustrations--over 300 in all--depict a wide range of human and animal life, from Aboriginal rites, habits, and homes, to sponges, fish, birds, and mammals, including a number of now-extinct species. With a number of introductory essays providing essential historical and scientific background, Baudin in Australian Waters will prove invaluable for anyone with an interest in French and Australian history, anthropology, natural history, exploration, and art.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Melbourne, Oxford University Press in association with the Australian Academy of the Humanities, 1988. Folio, xii, 347 pages with 36 plates and maps (and some 300 plates, many in colour, in the descriptive catalogue). Cloth stamped in silver and blind; covers slightly marked; top edge marked; an excellent copy with the very good dustwrapper (unevenly sunned and lightly rubbed). 'Until recently, the important geographical and scientific investigations carried out by the French voyage of discovery to the southern lands led by Captain Nicolas Baudin between 1800 and 1804 has received little attention in either France or Australia. In particular, the significance of the drawings and the gouache and watercolour paintings executed by two young artists of the expedition, Charles-Alexandre Lesueur and Nicolas-Martin Petit, has hitherto been known only to a small number of specialists. 'Baudin in Australian Waters' brings these works to the notice of a wider public for the first time in the form of an illustrated descriptive catalogue of these drawings and paintings of Australian subjects .' (from the dustwrapper blurb). The illustrations include Petit's sympathetic portraits of the Aboriginal people encountered by the expedition.…
