Description: Antique print, titled: 'Ile Timor. Plan et Details d'une Corocore, vue a Coupang.' - ('Timor Island: Plan and Details of a Corocore, seen at Coupang'). A Corocore is a boat used in the Indian Archipelago. Source: 'Voyage autour du monde sur les corvettes Uranie et la Physicienne pendant les années 1817, 1818, 1819 et 1820', Paris: 1825. 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). The expedition was led by Louis de Freycinet at the behest of the newly restored French king Louis XVIII and to restore prestige for the French nation.
Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Adam' after 'Louis Isidore Duperrey'. Louis Isidore Duperrey (1786-1865) was a French naval officer and explorer. Author: Louis Claude de Saulces de Freycinet (1779-1841) was a French navigator who circumnavigated the earth. In 1811 he published the first map to show the complete coastline of Australia.
