Blondela

  • Artist (Draughtsman)
A draughtsman and naval officer with La Pérouse, several of Blondela's drawings appeared in Atlas, though none were featured Australian subjects. It is thought that any Australian works that Blondela executed perished along with the artist when his ship L'Astrolabe was wrecked in the Solomon Islands.
