Voyage au Pôle Sud et dans l'Océanie sur les corvettes l'Astrolabe et La Zélée, exécuté par ordre du Roi pendant les années 1837, 1838, 1839, 1840
This is a French naval voyage account edited by Jules Dumont d'Urville, published in 1846 from records of the Astrolabe and Zélée expeditions of 1837 to 1840 to the South Pole and Oceania, held by Heidelberg University Library. The plates are grey-toned lithographs drawn in landscape format, though the scans are rotated sideways, showing tropical palms, coastal villages, and rocky shorelines. A designer might borrow their soft tonal shading, dense palm silhouettes, and layered tropical vegetation for botanical or travel-themed work.
