J. Jansen, Paris 1800 letterpress Rare Books Collection, State Library of Victoria, Melbourne RARELTF 910.41 L11, vol. 1 Due to d’Entrecasteaux’s death, it was his expedition’s botanist Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière who published the first account of this extraordinary voyage. A popular success, this appeared in 1800 in both French and English editions, with line engravings of numerous Australian plants by Pierre-Joseph Redouté. The publication also included expedition artist Jean Piron’s beautiful depiction of a black swan, the first French imaging of this uniquely Australian species that later held a special significance for Empress Josephine. © COPYRIGHT This document remains the property of the National Gallery of Victoria and must be returned upon request.
