No publishing date, but early issue in burgundy full morocco with gilt spine and borders. A large-paper edition measuring 13x9". Much worn and largely disbound, but containing the complete suite of coloured copperplate engravings and text. The plates are all dated 1813, and there is no half-title at the front, nor a separate title-page for the New South Wales Supplement. The disbound section shows edge-wear and toning, and there is general toning and or foxing to the plates. According to "Travel in Aquatint and Lithography Volume I World, etc." this volume might be the 1813 edition, or alternatively a later edition than the 1819. Text is paginated. ii[blank]+iv,170+2[blank]+110[plates]pp. Size: Folio - over 12 - 15" tall
