Wednesday, Nov 04, 2015

Our November list highlights a few treasures relating to some remarkable colonial women: Mary Reibey's copy of the NSW Directory printed by Anne Howe; a fine rare drawing by Ann Piper; a study of Homebushby Louisa Ann Meredith; a manuscript letter by the grand voyager Rose de Freycinet; and a fine copy of Mary Ann Parker's Voyage round the world, containing the first commentary of life in Australia by a woman. In addition we have some fine caricatures of  life in the Antipodes as it was imagined and a wonderful copy of Lycett's Views in Australia. Visit us at the Sydney Rare Bookfair November 5-7th at Customs House.
