Mesnard a naval cadet, was the artist on board of the <em>Venus<\/em>. The French expedition visited Sydney for two weeks in November 1838. The voyage caused a stir in British circles around the world, as it was rumoured that it intended to claim New Zealand as a colony.<\/p>\n<p>The view of Sydney is from a point on the harbour north-east of Pinchgut, shown as a rocky outcrop in centre foreground.

It was the location of supposed dark deeds and generator of cheerfully black urban myths. Visions of the remnants of a man called Morgan, strung up on a gibbet and swinging in the breeze, his decayed remains intended to act as an exemple to others. Comdemned to hang for murder, when asked for any last words, he is supposed to have calmly surveyed the scene and remarked &#8220;you have here indeed a beautiful harbour.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Literature: &#8220;Sydney Vistas &#8211; panoramic views 1788-1995&#8221;, catalogue to the exhibition at the Focus Gallery, Museum of Sydney (1995), no. 10. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Price (for the pair): Euro 2.150,-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PANORAMA OF SYDNEY FROM THE RAREST OF ALL FRENCH PACIFIC VOYAGE ACCOUNTS &#8220;Vue de Sydney et l&#8217;entr\u00e9e de la Rivi\u00e8re de Paramatta (1ere et 2eme feuille)&#8220;.
