Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), tan boards, black & white photos spread (plates), frontispiece drawing, maps, pages lightly toned, minor edgewear jacket (top edge flaps little faded). 279 pp. A Journey from Sydney to the Australian Alps Undertaken in the Months of January, February and March, 1834, by Dr John Lhotsky (edited by Allan E.
