Perry, T M ; Simpson, Donald H (Eds) : Drawings by William Westall - Landscape artist on board HMS Investigator during the circumnavigation of Australia by Captain Matthew Flinders RN in 1801-1803

The Royal Commonwealth Society, London, 1962

Complete. Inscribed to Frank Bradlow, the esteemed Africana specialist and collector, by Donald Simpson, and signed by him (dated: 24 June 1974). A very large book of the 19 year old Westall's fascinating drawings of this very early exploration of Australia's coastline. The boards are sound, sturdy, hale. The contents have flurries of foxing to the frontis pages and along the early page trims. The pages themselves are utterly confident, most generous, earnestly diligent, clean, clear, wonderfully companionable. Unless posted within South Africa, we will need to ask for extra postage as this is a heavy book. fk. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: No Jacket

First Edition.
