It describes zoological subjects, many new to science, and native to the South Pacific and Australia.  "A remarkable serial" (Wood), a monumental work on Natural History. As the original Prospectus stated: "The Plates [are] printed on the best paper ... executed with the most scrupulous Adherence to Nature, and ... colored with the utmost Precision and Exactness". Each print is with relevant descriptive text. All our prints are authentic hand colored antique prints, and these  are about 220 years old.
