Sobre este artículo
Adelaide: Libraries Board of South Australia., 1976. Facsimile edition. Octavo. Publisher's original green rexine with titles in gilt to the spine. Illustrated with a black and white frontispiece. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with a touch of bumping to the corners. The contents with a previous owner's inscription to the half title page and some light scattered foxing to the edges of the textblock are otherwise in very good order. A facsimile of the 1853 first edition of this account of the first steam navigation of the River Murray.
'Australiana Facsimiles Editions No. 202'.
