 chedare says: In !802 despite war between two Captains countries, they met at Encounter Bay comparing science & charts.They agreed to respect each,s names on their coastal mapping. It was the French who set off first to the unknown edge of the continent still known as Terra Australis. Flinders gave Baudin nine months start. How, then, did The Englishman come to map most of the South Australian coast first? The answer lies, in part, here amongst the gathering of exquisite artworks. A portrait of a Tasmanian Aboriginal mother and baby, for instance, was one of several delicate and positive portraits and scenes by Nicolas-Matin Petik. Baudin's orders demanded that his scientists and illustrators undertake a study of these people for the new science of anthropology just founded in Paris. It all took time - months and months of it. The French expedition was also asked to collect scientific specimens, and the other artist, Charles-Alexandre Lesueur turned his eye to the southern s Lesueur also completed detailed watercolours of kangaroos and emus. One image portrays the now extinct dwarf emu of Kangaroo Island. Captain Baudin assembled a growing menagerie of live animals to take home to Napoleon's France. He took seventy-two in all back to Paris and to the chateau of their great patron of the sciences. Malmaison was the home of the Empress Josephine. A number of kangaroos, emus and swans lived out their days in her garden. At the time the French stole his discoveries.A French General,s spite kept him prisoner for 6 years on Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.His wife Anne "My dark star"waited for 12 years and then only to lose him a few years later.A dramatic story of the man who named Australia.Baudin was struck down by illness before Napoleon could punish him for perceived wrongs, their tragic ends. love story @ dear chara you found it ha ha yes a love story ,something the French have a reputation for.
