About This Item
Amid the Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815) France and Britain dispatched rival voyages to complete the mapping of Australia and advance the limits of science - they were led by naval captains Baudin and Flinders and each carried safe-conducts protecting them from seizure by opposing navies. Between 1801 and 1803 the captains filled in the gaps of the then named New Holland and carried significant collections of flora and fauna home. 512 pages with 26 pages of illustrations many in colour and 8 maps. Book in very good condition signed by the author in greeting to previous owner and light tanning. Dust jacket in very good condition in clear wrapper..
