On offer is a large, 100% genuine, first strike copperplate engraving from the 1787 book entitled “A New, Royal and Authentic System of Universal Geography, Ancient and Modern” published by Thomas Bankes & printed by Charles Cook, London. The book included engravings from Captain Cooks voyagers and other celebrated explorers journeys.

The engraving is entitled “A Woman & Child / Man of Van Diemens Land” and has been lightly hinged to acid free white backing. The page size measures 39cms wide x 24.5cms, some foxing & marks as per photos. Looks far better than the photos depict. The rear is blank. Would look stunning framed. 

Will be posted flat & not rolled to avoid creasing & damage.
