ÖDMANN, Samuel, editor
John Whites Resa till Nya Holland...
J. Edmans, Uppsala, 1793. Duodecimo, with four engraved plates; neat repair at top of title; in fine condition in the original marbled boards with paper spine. Rare Swedish voyage account, of interest for both Cook and Australia's First Fleet.
'This Swedish compilation on the beginnings of the British penal settlement in New South Wales was based upon J.R. Forster's German versions of the published English accounts by Phillip and White...' (R. du Rietz in the Kroepelien catalogue). 'In 1793, Samuel Ödmann published a Swedish "First Fleet" volume, containing what may apparently be considered the first pictures from Australia to have been published in Sweden...' (ibid., in Swansea, A/1, 1995). These four plates depict: spears and other implements; a native hut; axe, basket and sword; and, natives of Botany Bay.
Also of great interest here is the last quarter of the book, which is devoted to Cook's first voyage and the discovery of the east coast of Australia.
Beddie, 675; Ferguson, 172; Kroepelien, 915; R. Du Rietz, 'Swansea', A133.
