(If you like this kind of item, PLEASE Check my other items, I have LOADS like this listed)

This lot includes one ORIGINAL 1892 finely engraved Print on heavy, stable paper depicting The Sugar Industry, Richmond River, NSW- Includes a set of prints- Sugar Mill at Broadwater, Richmond River, A Vacuum Pan, Bringing down the Cane and Cutting and Carrying the cane.

Measurements are 18cm by 28cm, I have left a border around the print not included in the measurements of print.

There is NO TEXT on the reverse, condition of print is excellent, as you can see from the pic, there is some minor water damage the border I have left that could be trimmed off.

My scanner is not perfect, when enlarged, little flecks of colour are seen, this is not in the print at all.

Source of Print- Australasia Illustrated I by Garran, 1st Ed, 1892 Fine Binding.  Many prints from this Book first appeared in Garran's Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, 1886.  These books were the greatest source of Australian history of the time, complete with many engravings from woodblocks, created by leading Australia and American Artists of the time.

I have been lucky enough to accumulate 2 of these books so I have one in poorer condition that I want to home as they are a tremendous portrayal of Australian History and would amazing framed.

Today engravings from the Picturesque Atlas series, including Garran's "Australasia Illustrated" are one of the few sources of images of life and work in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands in the 19th century and are highly collectable.
