La Touanne, Edmond Bigot de
Edmond Bigot de la Touanne (May 3, 1796 - October 27, 1863) was a French topographical artist and naval officer. La Touanne served as a lieutenant on Hyacinthe de Bougainville's voyage around the world in 1824 - 1826. The French government had given Bougainville secret orders to scout the defenses of British settlements in the South Seas. Thus, while they were in Port Jackson, La Touanne, Bougainville, and other expedition members extensively explored the colony, and La Touanne created a detailed map of Port Jackson. In 1828, La Touanne published a folio of 35 lithographic views relating to the voyage entitled Album Pittoresque de la Frégate La Thétis et de la Corvette l'Espérance. In 1837, when Bougainville's Journal of the expedition was published, all 56 of its lithographed plates, views, and maps were done after La Touanne's work.
