Antique Views of Australia and Oceania

A small group of original prints from the Pacific: William Byrne's 1777 engraving of Amsterdam Island, Tonga, published to illustrate Cook's voyages, T. Kelly's 19th-century view of New Caledonian islanders and their canoes, and an anonymous 1834 watercolour of Kenwick.

Of interest to collectors of Pacific exploration prints and to anyone seeking an early depiction of Cook-era voyages. Each piece is an original of its time, with a technical sheet stating technique, date and measurements.
