• Lot Description:
  Meredith, Louisa Anne. Over the Straits: A Visit to Victoria
  Octavo, illustrated in the text, half calf and marbled boards of the period. London, Chapman and Hall, 1861.
• Notes:
  First edition of this Victorian classic, an engaging account of a trip from Tasmania across the straits to Victoria undertaken in 1860 by the noted Australian artist and woman of letters. Her lively and anecdotal description of digging life towards the close of the gold rush era is valuable and important, while her characteristically acute observation of men and manners at a time when gold had established the wealth and self-confidence of the colony is one of the best of few contemporary descriptions. Ferguson, 12510.
