RARE AND COLLECTIBLE | Westraliana

F. C. Westley, 1831. First edition. A very good copy of this exceedingly rare book which constitutes the first ever report of the fledgling Swan River Colony and was published only 2 years after the colony was first settled. Bound in the original green papered boards with a black cloth spine and title panel on the spine. Only light rubbing of the boards. The uncut edges and endpapers are age tanned but otherwise the contents (including the fold out map) are in very good clean and undamaged condition with only very light sporadic foxing. This copy has the bookplate of eminent collector Graham Levey on the front pastedown and is now housed in a professionally made slipcase. Scans available if required.
