LYCETT, J.
Views in Australia or New South Wales & Van Diemen's Land delineated...
'THE MOST CELEBRATED OF AUSTRALIAN TOPOGRAPHICAL PLATE BOOKS' (Wantrup). These famous views were first produced in 13 monthly parts, July 1824 to June 1825; 24 plates are of New South Wales and an equal number of Van Diemen's Land. A feat of exploration as well as art which led Wantrup to call Lycett 'the outstanding artist of his period in Australia.'
