"Different Costumes of the People of Coupang, Timor" is an intricate and historically significant engraving created by Prot and published in 1825 by Alphonse Pellion. This artwork is part of the visual documentation from the French scientific expedition led by Louis de Freycinet aboard the corvettes Uranie and Physicienne, which took place from 1817 to 1820. The expedition aimed to gather extensive scientific, ethnographic, and geographic data from various parts of the world, including the island of Timor in Southeast Asia.

The engraving captures the diverse traditional attire of the inhabitants of Coupang (now known as Kupang), a port city on the island of Timor. This region was a significant point of interest during the expedition due to its strategic location and the rich cultural tapestry of its people. The artwork meticulously depicts the clothing, accessories, and possibly the social status of the individuals portrayed, providing a visual record of the local customs and lifestyle during the early 19th century.

Alphonse Pellion, an artist and draughtsman who accompanied the expedition, played a crucial role in documenting the journey through his detailed illustrations. His works, including this engraving, are invaluable for understanding the cultural and social dynamics of the regions visited by the expedition. The publication of these engravings in 1825 allowed a European audience to gain insights into the diverse cultures encountered during the voyage.

The "Different Costumes of the People of Coupang, Timor" not only serves as an artistic representation but also as an ethnographic artifact that offers a glimpse into the traditional attire and cultural identity of the Timorese people during the early 19th century. This engraving remains a significant piece of historical documentation, reflecting the broader objectives of the Uranie expedition to explore and record the world's diverse cultures and environments.
