Beschreibung

[Melbourne], George Robertson & Co. and London, J.S. Virtue & Co. Limited, 1898. Oblong folio (330 × 450 mm), 36 pages plus 15 tipped-in chromolithographs by the author (each with a paper guard, now with associated offsetting). Dark green pebble-grain cloth lettered and decorated in gilt on the front cover, all edges gilt; cloth lightly flecked, with slight bumps and minimal wear to the extremities; frontispiece mount a little foxed; an excellent copy (and probably as nice as they come, given the age and large format of the volume). 'Captain Sturt discovered and followed this river down. My friend and I went over the same water, after an interval of many years, but the greater portion of its scenery remains unchanged (the population is so sparse); so in effect this illustrates his exploration. I have confined myself almost entirely to the natural scenery' (the preface). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 136660
