Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. No signatures. Minor stain at upper margin of dust-jacket. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover. A nice copy.; 1968 revised edition of a title first published in 1966. 240 pages + plates. Blue and orange patterned boards with metallic blue panel on spine, gilt lettering and decoration on spine. Page dimensions: 237 x 142mm. Dust-jacket title: "Dusky Bay : In The Steps Of Captain Cook". "A remote fiord on the storm-swept south-west coast of New Zealand's South Island is notable alike for its breathtaking scenery and its place in the country's history. Captain James Cook discovered it in 1770 and named it Dusky Bay. He came again in 1773 after a rigourous voyage in the Antarctic and spent five weeks there while his crew enjoyed fresh food and recreation. Later came sealers, whalers, shipwrecked sailors and prospectors. All left their mark in one way or another on a place which has more or less reverted to its virgin state has time has passed it by. Two Dunedin doctors have now reconstructed a remarkable history of the area, its animal and plant life, and the men who trod its rocky shores. Through patient research and the co-operation of men of learning in many countries, they have assembled an impressive collection of early maps, documents and, most important, examples of the work of the artists and naturalists who first visited what is now known as Dusky Sound. Many of these beautiful paintings and drawings are here reproduced in colour, some of them for the first time. In particular, the book gives overdue recognition to the work of the German naturalist Johann Forster and his brilliant and artistic son George." - from dust-jacket blurb.…
