- Plate 5 from 'Voyage de la Pérouse autour du monde', see 1948,0214.162; engraved after one of the drawings made by Gaspard Duché de Vancy while he was accompanying la Pérouse in his expedition.
As the engraver is simply mentioned as 'Thomas', the attribution to N. Thomas is uncertain and will have to be corrected, should further informations be found.
Another impression: 1948,0214.153.
