Les Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique: Tableau pour Décoration en Papier Peint

Description: This book is an early 19th-century illustrated depiction of people groups from the Pacific islands. The author, a French printmaker, painter, and publisher, created a series of paintings showcasing the inhabitants, their customs, and their habitats based on various European explorers' accounts, including Captain James Cook. The text for the book is derived from a popular French work that had summarized the most famous voyages of European explorers. The book, which provides insights into the diversity of peoples and cultures encountered by European explorers in the Pacific, serves as a reminder of the profound impact European exploration had on these island communities.
