brief_description
This book is on order. Forming a prequel to his earlier two-volume Australian Rare Books 1788-1900, the author here examines the printed works telling the story of the discovery of Australia, as the Dutch and English mariners first identified parts of New Holland’s outline, and then completed the map of the entire continent. Wantrup provides detailed descriptions of these books, which should prove invaluable to collectors, curators, cataloguers, and booksellers.
