\"Cover<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Art of Science <\/em>tells of the rich history around Nicholas Baudin’s Voyagers from 1800 to 1804. Flip through the pages and join explorers as they discover and chart Australia. Beautiful scientific drawings illustrate exquisite flora and fauna, as Baudin’s voyagers collected over 100,000 specimens.<\/p>\n

One of the most lavishly equipped scientific explorations\u00a0to ever leave Europe, Baudin’s expedition uncovered\u00a0the beauty in the Australian outback.<\/p>\n
