Native Tribes of the Northern Territory of Australia
London, Macmillan and Co. Limited, 1914.
Octavo, xx, 516, [2] pages plus 128 plates (8 in colour) and a folding colour map.
Gilt-decorated cloth, top edge gilt; foot of the spine very lightly bumped; endpapers replaced (but see our footnote); a fine copy with the very slightly chipped and sunned (and very rare) dustwrapper.
Provenance: Sir Edward Wheewall Holden (1885-1947, the influential motor-body builder whose business became a household name), with his armorial bookplate on the pastedown. An excess of glue was applied when it was first mounted in the book; the free endpaper adhered to it and was subsequently damaged when separation was attempted - a pity, but a trifling blemish in the overall scheme of things.
