subjects (9 coloured), topographical views, native weapons, canoes, habitations, etc. (some coloured), and 10 portraits (4 coloured) of NAMED Aborigines by Nicolas-Martin Petit (1777-1804). One of the folding topographical views is a fine plate of Sydney by Charles Alexandre Lesueur (1778-1846). The expedition was commanded by Nicolas Thomas Baudin (1754-1803), who died at Batavia on the way home. The purpose of the voyage was the thorough examination of the western and southern coasts of Australia, and especially to investigate a belief that a strait existed linking the southern sea with the Gulf of Carpentaria, thus dividing New Holland into two large islands. A six months stay at Sydney is fully described by Peron, embodying a valuable account of life in the early years of the settlement.
