The caption for this image reads: Omo: 'We stole down to the beach where under the shadow of a grove the boat was waiting.' Omoo or A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas, is a novel by the American novelist Herman Melville. Published in 1847, it was a sequel to Melvilles novel Typee. Based on his own experiences in the South Pacific, this episodic novel, in a more comical vein than that of Typee, tells of the narrators participation in a mutiny on a whale ship and his subsequent wanderings in Tahiti with the ships former doctor, Long Ghost. Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick; Typee (a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia), Omoo, and Billy Budd. The illustrator is Mead Schaeffer.

La Pérouse had admired the explorer James Cook, and wanted to continue his work. La Perouse was assigned two 500-ton ships called the Astrolabe and the Boussole. His crew of 114 included sailors, scientists, a physicist, three draftsmen, three naturalists, clergymen, and a mathematician. They left France in August, 1785. La Perouse mapped the west coast of North America in 1786, and visited Easter Island and Hawaii.
