'Until recently the important geographical and scientific investigations carried out by the French voyage of discovery to the southern lands led by Captain Nicolas Baudin between 1800 and 1804 has received little attention in either France or Australia. In particular the significance of the drawings and the gouache and watercolour paintings executed by two young artists of the expedition Charles-Alexandre Lesueur and Nicolas-Martin Petit has hitherto been known only to a small number of specialists. 'Baudin in Australian Waters' brings these works to the notice of a wider public for the first time in the form of an illustrated descriptive catalogue of these drawings and paintings of Australian subjects .' from the dustwrapper blurb. The illustrations include Petit's sympathetic portraits of the Aboriginal people encountered by the expedition.
