A propos de cet article

[Appendix to Matthew Flinders A Voyage to Terra Australis; undertaken for the purpose of completing the discovery of that vast country, and prosecuted in the years 1801, 1802, and 1803]. London : [s.n.], [Printed by W. Bulmer and Co.] : [1814 - reissued circa 1840]. First separate issue, originally published as an Appendix to Flinders' Voyage of 1814. Quarto, publisher's green cloth (lightly stained), lettered in gilt on the spine, label from the Belfast Library (founded 1788) to front pastedown, shelf mark in chalk to front free endpaper, a few early institution stamps, pp. 533 - 614, ten large folding plates (approx. 50 x 53 cms) after Ferdinand Bauer, scattered light foxing, a very good copy. 'An extremely scarce re-issue of the sheets of Brown?s appendix to Matthew Flinders?s Voyage to Terra Australis(1814). This is part of the reissue series of the original sheets which Mrs Flinders initiated in the late 1830s and early 1840s. Wantrup (2023) appears to have been the first to describe this issue of the appendix with the folding botanical plates; it is not described in the standard bibliographies. The plates are new strikes of the original copper plates and are printed on fine wove paper at the time of publication around 1840. There is some similarity with the issue of the plates by the Ray Society in their 1868 edition of Brown?s works and this late remainder issue of the unsold Flinders sheets may well have been associated with the editor of that edition, John J. Bennett, who stated there that the original copper plates were ?now in my possession? ' - Australian Book Auctions Wantrup, 67d.…
