Jacques-Gérard Milbert (18 November 1766 – 5 June 1840) was a French naturalist and artist. Milbert was a pupil of the landscape painter Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes,[1][2] and went on to teach drawing at the Parisian school of mines[2] – the {{lang|fr|École nationale supérieure des mines de Paris}} – from 1795.[3] In 1800, Milbert embarked on Nicolas Baudin's voyage to Australia.[2] During the voyage, Milbert and several other artists became ill,[2] and the artists and the captain came into conflict.[1] This caused several artists, including Milbert, to leave the voyage at Mauritius, leaving Charles-Alexandre Lesueur to produce the voyage's scientific drawings.[1] Milbert returned to France, where in 1812 he published a series of views of Mauritius, the Cape Colony and Tenerife, titled {{lang|fr|Voyage pittoresque à l'Ile de France, au Cap de Bonne Espérence et à l'Ile de Ténériffe}},[1][2] comprising two octavo volumes of text, and one quarto volume of plates.[2] In 1815, Milbert travelled to the United States, where he would remain for eight years, based in New York City, teaching, and travelling extensively in the northeastern United States.[2] During his time there, he sent back 48 shipments of natural history specimens to the {{lang|fr|Muséum national d'histoire naturelle}} in Paris.[2] Milbert returned to France on 20 October 1823, and began teaching, again at the school of mines.[2] He published several further volumes, including drawings from his travels in the United States. He died on 5 June 1840.[2] Milbert was awarded the {{lang|fr|Légion d'honneur}} and, after a campaign by scientists who had received his specimens, the government agreed to pay Milbert's widow a pension.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book |editor1=Felix Driver|editor2= Luciana Martins |year=2005 |title=Tropical Visions in an Age of Empire |publisher=University of Chicago Press |isbn=978-0-226-16472-4 |author=Claudio Greppi |chapter="On the Spot": traveling artists and the iconographic inventory of the world 1769–1859 |pages=23–42 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=698SE5CH_VkC&pg=PA29}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {{cite book |editor=Caroline Mastin Welsh |year=1998 |title=Adirondack Prints and Printmakers: the Call of the Wild |publisher=Syracuse University Press |isbn=978-0-8156-0519-5 |author=Philip J.
