This delightful little book was first printed in a limited edition in 1894, describing Malcolm Ross's visit by boat and on foot to Fiordland and Milford Sound. His story begins at Preservation Inlet and ends at Te Anau. Beautifully illustrated with water colours by the acclaimed Robert Hawcridge, one of the leading artists of the day. Malcolm Ross went on to become a New Zealand war correspondent during World War One, and to cover Parliamentary news until the 1920s. He was also an accomplished mountaineer,
This edition of the book has been digitally remastered and reprinted to preserve its Victorian layout and charm. Pages are interleaved with tissue paper as in the original edition. This book is also handstitched and completed with 24K gold edging on the page edges to replicate a style rarely found in modern books.
The book is sold with a wrapping of tissue paper and bound with cord to create a Victorian-era presentation for a classy book.
This edition makes a handsome gift or souvenir for anybody who has been entranced by the wonders of Fiordland and Milford Sound.
