About this Item

Bundaberg, Corkwood Press, 1995 (facsimile edition)/ 1897. Octavo, two volumes, [iv], 86 pages plus 24 plates (many reproduced from original negatives or prints, and three of them are here reproduced the correct way round for the first time), plus a folding chart, 2 folding maps and a very large folding map (1210 × 1210 mm) loosely housed in a matching cloth portfolio. Cloth a trifle marked; commercial bookplate to the front pastedown of the text volume; an excellent set. Number 42 of only 300 sets. Winnecke was the leader of the expedition, and in 'the natural order of things these (journals and maps) should have been published in connection with the scientific and other records of the Horn Expedition, as both supplementary and complementary to them'; after a financial disagreement with W.A. Horn (the organiser and backer of the venture) this did not occur. The first edition appeared as South Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 19 of 1896; it was reissued in this octavo format the following year. McLaren 16969 (the original edition - not noting the very large map). [2 items]. Seller Inventory # 137736
