The collection comprises three maps from the voyage of Nicolas Baudin, 1800-1804 (including the first detailed chart of the Swan River created by Heirrisson in June 1801), and fifteen drawings from the voyage of Louis de Freycinet on the Uranie, 1817-1820 (including one showing Rose Freycinet seated outside her tent at Shark Bay in 1818). Accompanying the collection are the text and images from the exhibition "Freycinet - our French collection" (held in the State Library of Western Australia, 21 February-31 March 2003), proof sheets of images used in the exhibition, and a set of six greeting cards using images from the collection.
