Notes

"... All that was published of the work was 8 preliminary pages, the last blank, and fifteen very fine plates. There were two issues of the plates, one coloured and the other plain..." -- Australian rare books 1788-1900 / J. Wantrup.

Plates stipple engraved on copper by Bauer between 1806 and 1813 after his watercolours drawn from nature on Captain Matthew Flinders' circumnavigation of Australia in HMS Investigator in 1801-1803. The plates were first published in 1813 to accompany Robert Brown's Prodromus florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen (1810).
