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.

topographical draughtsman and naval officer, was a lieutenant on board L’Astrolabe , one of the two ships of the La Pérouse expedition. Blondela acted as draughtsman during the voyage, but although some of his earlier drawings were reproduced in the published Atlas no Australian works are known, all presumably perishing with Blondela when L’Astrolabe was wrecked off Vanikoro ( see Duché de Vancy ).
