Product Description

Australian Flora & Fauna in the 1790's

Archival Limited Edition Giclee from original copper engravings published in 1789 after early settlement of Australia at Port Jackson in 1788 (later named Sydney) and is a testimony to European facination with botany and zoology to have been prepared so early. The naivity is due the artist not being able to study the live specimen back in London.
IDEAL FOR THE NATURALIST. An example what populated Governor Arthur Phillip's reports back to London, the original engraved by  Peter Mazell and published by John Stockdale, London.
 Size of approximately images = 20cm x 27cm
Archival Edition Limited to 200 each image. Issued with numbered certificate.
