The Log of the Fortuna: a cruise in Chinese Waters. Containing tales of adventure in foreign climes, by sea and by shore. [With illustrations
A nautical adventure narrative by Augustus F. Lindley, published in London in 1870, recounting a cruise in Chinese waters for Victorian readers of sea-going tales. Wood engravings mix tropical shore landscapes, moonlit estuaries with reeds and anchored vessels, and crowded deck scenes under rigging, offering grey-toned tonal skies, silhouetted palms and masts, and figure groups usable as scene-setting vignettes.
