The main intention of the voyage was political: to extend French influence in Indochina. However Bougainville also touched at Pondicherry Manila Macao Surabaya Sydney Port Jackson Valparaiso and Rio de Janeiro. Bougainville son of the explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville had served as an eighteen-year-old ensign on the Baudin voyage and after distinguished service in the Napoleonic wars he was given command of the frigate La Thetis and the corvette L'Esprance. He spent several months in and around Sydney where most of the ornithological material gathered by the voyage had been collected here and resulted in three drawings by Bessa of four species of birds including 'superb illustrations' Wood of the male and female Gang-gang or red-crested parrot. From here both ships crossed to Valparaiso where La Touanne commenced his overland journey to rejoin the expedition at Rio. The account of this journey takes up much of the second volume together with R.-P. Lesson's account of the natural history.<br /> Ayer/Zimmer p83; Borba de Moraes I115; Ferguson 2236; Fine Bird Books p79; Hill 162; Nissen ZBI 483; Sabin 6875; Whittell p68; Wood p251.
