| Meer info | After three years without news of La Perouse, an expedition under D'Entrecasteaux set out with the joint purpose of discovering his fate and scientific and commercial exploration. No trace was found of the missing explorer in a journey which encompassed the Cape of Good Hope, Tasmania, southwest Australia, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, the Admiralty Islands, and Tonga. D'Entrecasteaux died of scurvy in 1793, and Labillardiere, one of the botanists on board, completed the present account of the expedition. The plates include numerous portraits of natives of several islands, as well as botanical and ornithological views. 14 of the botanical plates in this volume were engraved after drawings by Pierre Joseph Redoute. Some of the ornithological plates are from drawings by Audebert. |
