Ferdinand Bauer was botanical artist on the “Investigator” under the celebrated botanist Robert Brown during Matthew Flinders’ circumnavigation of Australia.

5 Bauer, Ferdinand. FERDINAND BAUER’S NATURAL HISTORY DRAWINGS taken from the Zoological Specimens collected on the First Circumnavigation of Australia, 1801-1803. Large folio (515 by 650 mm. approx.), First Edition; pp. [6]; 46 mounted col. plates; title printed in red and black; unbound, as issued, in original full cloth Solander box with leather spine label; a fine copy; rare. London; Alecto Historical Editions in conjunction with The Natural History Museum; (1997). ***Edition limited to 50 numbered sets only for sale, plus 10 sets hors commerce. A magnificent and highly attractive work, beautifully reproducing at original size all fifty-two of Bauer’s superb original finished drawings of zoological subjects (mammals, birds, fishes and reptiles) gathered on Matthew Flinders’ voyage. The subjects include the Bandicoot, Koala, Wombat, Wallaby and Platypus, several parrots and related species, as well as fish, a frog, skink and crab, etc., many of these drawings being the first scientific depiction of the species. Apart from a few small illustrations in books such as Marlene Norst’s ‘Ferdinand Bauer, the Australian Drawings’ (1989), these stunning watercolour drawings have never before been published. Alecto has used stochastic lithography to prepare the plates and printed them by hand one colour at a time on a FAG flatbed proofing press to wonderful effect. The Natural History Museum has undertaken not to sanction another printing of this magnificent work for at least fifty years. Each plate is blind embossed with the chops of the publishers and is titled and numbered in pencil. Loosely enclosed is an example of the original prospectus and pre-publication information. We understand that 10 of the 50 sets have been sold as individual prints, leaving only 50 complete sets in existence (including those ‘hors commerce’). #15695 A$16,500.00

Sydney; Book Club Associates; (1975). ***Identical to the First Edition published by Collins in the same year. #15361 A$50.00

7 David, Andrew. THE VOYAGE OF HMS HERALD to Australia and the South-west Pacific 1852-1861 under the command of Captain Henry Denham. Cr. 4to, First Edition; pp. xxviii, 524(last blank); 8 maps, 16 col. & 8 b/w. plates, 11 survey charts, note on measurements, appendices, glossary, notes & refs., bibliog, index; original papered boards; a fine copy in d/w. (Melbourne); The Miegunyah Press, (Melbourne University Press; 1995). ***”The authoritative account of one of the longest and most important surveying cruises of the golden age of world hydrography”. Excellent use is made of the journals of Denham and his officers to create a detailed vision of mid-nineteenth-century surveying and charting techniques. Significant forays were made into botanical and ornithological studies, much of which are detailed here. Its anthropological content clearly illustrates the paradoxical nature of the south-west Pacific at the time of the voyages, where missionary, colonist and the lords of commerce co-existed with the native peoples in an often uneasy alliance. Included is an account of the resettlement of the Pitcairn Islanders on Norfolk Island. This is number 3 in the second Miegunyah Press series; only 1200 copies were printed. #46753 A$95.00

Melbourne; Melbourne University Press at the Miegunyah Press; 1988. ***W. H. Harvey was the author of Phycologia Australica, still the most important treatise on Australian seaweeds and a rare and beautiful book. Two of the colour plates are reproduced from that work. His botanical observations are important and interesting and his letters also throw light on the historical events of the time, both within Australia and in other parts of the Pacific. Number three in the first Miegunyah Press series. #15702 A$135.00
