"Rose de Freycinet and her Husband Arriving at Diely, Timor" is a notable illustration from the 'Journal de voyage autour du monde a bord de l'Uranie, 1817-1820,' a travelogue documenting the French scientific expedition around the world aboard the ship Uranie. The expedition, led by Captain Louis de Freycinet, was significant not only for its contributions to the fields of geography, ethnography, and natural history but also for the clandestine presence of Rose de Freycinet, the captain's wife, who became the first woman to write an account of circumnavigating the globe.

The illustration, created by the expedition's official artist, Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, captures the moment when Rose and Louis de Freycinet arrive at Diely in Timor, an event of particular interest given the historical context of women's participation in such voyages. Rose's presence on the Uranie was unauthorized by the French government, and her determination to accompany her husband was a direct challenge to the naval regulations of the time, which forbade women from being on board military vessels.

Arago's work is a valuable historical document that provides visual insight into the journey of the Uranie and the experiences of its crew and passengers. The 'Journal de voyage' is a rich source of information on early 19th-century exploration, and the illustration of the Freycinets' arrival in Timor is a poignant representation of the couple's shared spirit of adventure and Rose's groundbreaking role in maritime history.

The 'Journal de voyage autour du monde a bord de l'Uranie, 1817-1820' is an essential primary source for historians and scholars interested in the era of exploration, the contributions of women in this field, and the artistic portrayal of such expeditions. The inclusion of Rose de Freycinet's narrative within the journal also offers a rare female perspective on global exploration during a period when such accounts were predominantly male.
