TitleFrench prayer bookAbout this objectThis pocket-size book is a French Catholic prayer book known as a paroissien, which was intended for not only clergy but ordinary worshippers as well. While we can only imagine the kind of devotional texts carried aboard L’Astrolabe and La Boussole, this intricate object invites us to contemplate the life of Père Receveur and how faith practices travelled with 18th-century expeditions.Object No.2007.8SourceLa Perouse MuseumOrganisations (Detailed entries)La Perouse Museum (La Perouse, N.S.W.)ThemesEuropean arrivals
