I found the description of Swallow-tailed Gull by Néboux from the year 1840 as Mouette à queue fourchue. I understood that he missed the scientific name and in 1846 published a plate 10 in the Atlas of Voyage autour du monde sur la frégate la Vénus. commandée par Abel de Petit-Thouars. I found the text on Zoologie online but not the Atlas. Has anyone found the Atlas online?
P.S. OK I found here unfortunately not to read what's written on the plate.
Therefore my question was it Néboux who painted the picture? If not, why would be Néboux the author?
