The Exploration of Australia. [With a map

Calvert, Albert Frederick · 1895 · G. Philip & Son · 46 pictures

Albert Frederick Calvert's account of Australian inland exploration, published with a map by G. Philip & Son in London in 1895 for general readers interested in the continent's survey and settlement. The plates indexed here are repeated chapter openers: a blue-black woodcut-style initial T framed in a square of scrolling acanthus, berried vines and small winged figures, useful as a drop-cap model or as a source of Renaissance-revival foliate border fragments.
