Two pencil and brown wash drawings on paper by artist J. Alphonse Pellion.

These drawings were made in late November 1819 when Pellion, accompanied by the naturalists Quoy and Guadichaud, spent a little time at Sir John Jamison's first Regentville homestead, en route to the Blue Mountains. The naturalists are seen in the foreground [L2007/133-1] with Gregory Blaxland whom Governor Macquarie had asked to act as guide to the French officers.
