Our current catalogue is a departure from our usual range of material. All 110 items are either maps, photographs, posters, drawings or prints. Some of the items are significant (for example, maps by Bowen and Freycinet, and Antarctic photographs by Hurley), but at the very least, many of them are visually appealing (such as the plates from the works of George French Angas and John Gould). So, on the basis of what you see in the image is what you get if you make a purchase, have a look – it won’t take you long, and who knows, you may be tempted!
