Laborde made the journey to Petra with the engineer Linant de Bellefonds in 1828 travelling from Suez via St. Catherine's and through Wadi al-Araba to Akabah. Although Burckhardt Irby and Mangles had explored Petra before Laborde he was the first to make detailed drawings of the area. Dedicated to the Elector Wilhelm II of Hesse 1777-1847. "Both Burckhardt and Irby and Mangles had Explored Petra before Laborde but Laborde was the first to be able to make plans views and maps of the area" Blackmer. The son of an archaeologist and diplomat Léon-Emmanuel-Simon-Joseph 1807-1869 count of Laborde was educated at the University of Göttingen. In 1826 he embarked on a transformative journey with his father to Greece Asia Minor Syria and Egypt honing his artistic talents and linguistic skills along the way. In Cairo he encountered Louis Maurice Adolphe Linant de Bellefonds known as Linant Bey then Linant Pacha a seasoned explorer seeking a companion to traverse the Sinai to Petra. Their partnership led to a historic expedition in February 1828 during which they meticulously documented their journey through sketches and detailed maps. Arriving in Petra they became the first Europeans to conduct an extensive survey of the Nabataean capital a milestone in archaeological exploration. Upon returning to Europe in May 1828 Laborde dedicated himself to publishing his travel notes culminating in the richly illustrated Voyage de l'Arabie Pétrée in 1830. This publication introduced the Nabataeans to the Western world influencing subsequent explorers like the Scottish painter David Roberts. Laborde's contributions extended beyond exploration; he served as the Curator of the Department of Antiquities at the Louvre in 1847 later becoming Director General of the Archives in 1857. His decade-long tenure saw the creation of the Musée des Archives laying the groundwork for the future Museum of the History of France. Laborde's legacy endures as a testament to his pioneering spirit and profound impact on the fields of archaeology and cultural preservation. Blackmer 929 Paris: Girard, 1830. hardcover
