The Land of the Hibiscus Blossom: a yarn of the Papuan Gulf ... With illustrations by the author
An adventure novel of the Papuan Gulf written and illustrated by Hume Nisbet, published in London in 1888 for British readers of colonial sea yarns. The plates are pen-and-ink landscapes — screening foliage over still water, a starlit river under sail, a rock waterfall — plus botanical vignettes of hibiscus and passion flower usable as headpieces, spot art and tropical borders.
