Saint Pierre arrived in Mauritius in 1768 with a group of Military Engineers en route for Madagascar. Having fallen out with his commander, he preferred to stay there. He met the ageing Pierre Poivre, Intendant of the Island, and his lovely young wife with whom he fell in love. It is said that he played Paul to her Virginie. However there was the inevitable quarrel and Saint Pierre left the island in 1770. The first edition of this work appeared in 1773 and became a great success bringing the author a hefty pension. His tragic, romantic novel about the island “Paul et Virginie” was published in 1789. It has been said that Saint Pierre with this novel was single handedly responsible for the start of the Mauritian Tourist Trade. Saint Pierre married in 1793 Félicité Didot, daughter of the famous printer and had a son and daughter, Paul and Virginie. 1070.SALMOND (J.B. ed.) The Muster Roll of Angus.

The Australian Gold Rush of 1851 inspired many areas of the Arts from Baxter Prints, Popular Ballads to street literature.
