About the Item

Lithograph on wove paper. Signed and dated in the stone lower right. This lithograph by Auguste Raffet, one of the most celebrated French lithographers of the 19th century, depicts a Tatar settlement in Crimea. The scene shows a cluster of thatched-roof houses dispersed across a wide open plain, with figures engaged in conversation and daily activity. The expansive horizon and atmospheric rendering of the sky lend the composition a sense of both grandeur and ethnographic detail. Raffet, renowned for his ability to blend documentary precision with artistic sensibility, here captures the essence of Crimean village life during the mid-19th century. His prints were widely admired for their ability to transport European audiences into distant geographies and cultures with immediacy and narrative clarity.

Coupang : Ile Timor. Vue d un chantier de construction. Early C19th engraving
Located in Melbourne, Victoria
'Coupang : Ile Timor. Vue d'un chantier de construction' Depicts Timorese people and Europeans building a rowboat under a tree, with other boats in the distance. The work is being overseen by a senior naval man, possibly intended to be Captain Freycinet. Steel-engraving by Friedrich Schroeder (1768-1839) after F Garnier after Alphonse Pellion. Alphonse Pellion, artist and naval draughtsman, was a midshipman aboard l'Uranie on Louis de Freycinet's three-year scientific and ethnographic expedition around the world in 1817-1820. From Louis Freycinet's 'Voyage Autour du Monde, Entrepris par Ordre du Roi ... Execue sur les Corvettes de S. M. l'Uranie et la Physicienne Pendant les Annees 1817, 1818, 1819 et 1820', published in Paris in 1825. Louis Claude de Saulces de Freycinet (1779-1842) joined the French Navy in 1793 and was a veteran of the Baudin's voyage of discovery (1801-1803). He also completed the narrative of the expedition which appeared under the title of 'Voyage de Decouvertes aux Terres Australes'. In 1817 de Freycinet successfully lobbied the Government and King Louis XVIII agreed to support a new global campaign. Its mission was to finally determine the shape of the earth and return with detailed reports on geography, people, government, commerce and art of this new world. The 350-ton corvette Uranie had a complement of 120 men and 23 officers including the artist Jacques Arago and a priest. Over the next three years Uranie visited Australia, East Timor...
