The Cruise of the “Rosario” amongst the New Hebrides and Santa Cruz Islands. ... With map and illustrations

MARKHAM, Albert Hastings - Sir, K.C.B · 1873 · 67 pictures

An 1873 London account by Royal Navy commander Albert Hastings Markham of HMS Rosario's cruise through the New Hebrides and Santa Cruz Islands, written for British readers following naval patrols against the Pacific labour trade. Beyond the map and voyage views, the volume carries outline-engraved chapter bands of acanthus scrolls, urns, wheat ears, crowns and small ships — clean line ornament that redraws easily as rules, borders or spot devices.
