In 1846, the French government decided to send a mission to Persia, an expedition, led by the geographer Xavier Hommaire de Hell, to carry out further investigations. Laurens, a young artist who had studied in the studio of the painter Paul Delaroche, was employed to record the course of their journey in a series of images that, after his return in 1849, were used to illustrate Hommaire de Hell's Voyage en Turquie et en Perse (4 vols and atlas, 1854-60). Despite the rigours of the journey and an attack of fever, Laurens filled several sketch-books with his drawings of the people and landscapes they encountered.
