This series of exquisitely engraved prints constitutes a unique documentation of exotic unknown lands and their inhabitants, made during the voyage of the Uranie (in honour of the muse of astronomy and geography).

Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Pomel' after 'J. Alphonse Pellion'. Marie Joseph Alphonse Pellion (known as Odet-Pellion, 1796-1868) was a French vice-admiral. Author: Louis Claude de Saulces de Freycinet (1779-1841) was a French navigator who circumnavigated the earth. Condition: Very good, given age. Some small imperfections (small stains) in the margin edges, well outside of the image area. A small tear ending in a crease, in the lower margin, backed with acid-free archival tape. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study scan carefully.
