"T.1548 Ouriaga from Van Diemans Land, plate 9 from Voyage of Discovery to Australian Lands, engraved by B. Roger, 1807 by N. Petit" is an exquisite example of early 19th-century ethnographic art. This work is part of a larger collection of illustrations that were created during the early European exploration of Australia, specifically during the French expeditions led by Nicolas Baudin. These expeditions were among the first to document the indigenous peoples, flora, and fauna of the Australian continent, providing a valuable historical record of the era.

The engraving was executed by B. Roger, a skilled engraver of the time, based on the original drawings by Nicolas Petit, an artist who accompanied the Baudin expedition. Petit was known for his detailed and sensitive portrayals of the indigenous peoples encountered during the voyage. The plate depicts Ouriaga, an indigenous person from Van Diemen's Land, now known as Tasmania. The portrayal is significant as it provides insight into the appearance, attire, and cultural aspects of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people during the early 1800s.

The "Voyage of Discovery to Australian Lands" was a monumental publication that aimed to disseminate the findings of the Baudin expedition to a European audience. The engravings within this work, including plate 9, were instrumental in shaping European perceptions of the Australian continent and its inhabitants. The detailed and respectful representation of Ouriaga reflects the scientific and ethnographic interests of the period, emphasizing observation and documentation.

This engraving not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as an important historical document. It captures a moment in time when European explorers were beginning to understand and record the rich diversity of human cultures and natural environments in Australia. The work remains a valuable resource for historians, anthropologists, and art historians studying early European interactions with indigenous Australian communities.
