This artwork is part of a larger collection documenting the French scientific expedition led by Louis de Freycinet, which sailed around the world from 1817 to 1820.

The engraving captures a scene in Coupang, Timor, illustrating the diverse mechanical activities and the interactions between the expedition members and the local inhabitants. Alphonse Pellion, an officer and artist on the expedition, meticulously recorded the landscapes, people, and customs encountered during the voyage, providing invaluable insights into early 19th-century life in regions that were largely unknown to Europeans at the time.

Published as part of the official account of the expedition, "Voyage Autour du Monde sur les Corvettes de L'Uranie 1817-20," this engraving and others in the collection were instrumental in disseminating the knowledge gained during the voyage to a wider audience. The works of Pellion and the detailed engravings by Schroeder played a crucial role in the success of this publication, making significant contributions to the fields of ethnography, cartography, and natural science.
Today, "Diverse Mechanical Work, Coupang, Timor" is appreciated not only for its historical and scientific value but also for its artistic merit, showcasing the skill of both Pellion and Schroeder in capturing the essence of the expedition's encounters and discoveries.
