the accompanying text by William T. Stearn and Daniel Solander are printed in different colours to identify the different regions from which the specimens came. Thirteen of the plates are of plants from Australia, eight from New Zealand, four from the Society Islands, three from Brazil and two from Java. Prior to the publication of this work, none of the original copper-plates had ever been published as engravings, although pulls had been made from some of the plates so that they could be reproduced by lithography for Hooker’s Flora Antarctica and other works as well as some 320 of the total 738 plates which were reproduced in 1900 also by lithography. For this project great care was taken to print from the plates in the original manner intended and to do justice to the fine original eighteenth-century engraving by printing with inks of appropriate richness to the highest standards of copperplate printing. Great difficulties were experienced with the ink and the project, commenced in 1962, was not finally completed until 1974 but the result is magnificent. An account of the travails of production is given in the accompanying book (see below). The work was oversubscribed before publication and of the 100 standard copies nearly half were subscribed by institutional libraries. [with] Law, Joy. CAPTAIN COOK’S FLORILEGIUM.
