Title: Ludwig Becker. Artist & Naturalist with the Burke & Wills Expedition.
Description: First Edition; Lge. 4to; xiv, 226 (last 2 blank); 70 full-page illustrations of which 52 are colour and 7 are maps, notes, 6 appendices, select bibliography, index; original beige cloth, title lettered in gilt on spine and front board, dustjacket, a fine copy. (Melbourne, Melbourne University Press, 1979). "Ludwig Becker, though he went with Burke and Wills in 1860, has almost been forgotten. He is remembered, if at all as an artist and naturalist who left some sketches of the disastrous undertaking before he himself perished on the journey north. Yet his letters reports and illustrations are of unique historical importance and antiquarian charm. His words and his pictures are published here for the first time, complete and unabridged."
