WHITE, John
Journal of a Voyage to New South Wales.
J. Debrett, London, 1790. Quarto, with 65 engraved plates; title-page a little spotted, otherwise afine copy with the engravings in original hand-colouring; modern grained calf with gilt decorations on spine and boards and gilt dentelles. The rare coloured issue of the famous First Fleet book in which the plates were coloured by hand. In this form, White's journal is one of the most beautiful of Australian colour-plate books, and one of the most attractive, as well as one of the earliest, Australian bird books.
The natural history content of the published account makes White's particularly noteworthy amongst the First Fleet journals. Many of the plates were drawn in England by leading natural history artists of the day, such as Sarah Stone, from original sketches done in the colony. The plates of birds are particularly magnificent, especially when they are seen in their coloured versions, as here.
