This list features one of the finest Pacific illustrated books of the nineteenth century, "Sketches in New Zealand" by Richard Oliver (1811-1889) who commanded the HMS Fly on survey voyages of New Zealand and Pacific waters between 1847 and 1851. This is a beautiful copy of the rare coloured issue, complete in the original illustrated wrappers. To view in full please click here.
We have also uploaded a selection of twenty five manuscripts relating chiefly to the Pacific voyages of Cook, de Bougainville and Dumont D'Urville, together with documents of early Australian colonial settlement.
