Art of First Fleet & Other Australian Dr.

'The finest publication so far to come out of the Australian bicentenary. . . . The combination here, of human, animal, flower and geological investigation, is inspiring.' -- Arts Review 'An intimate perspective on the land, its native people and its wildlife before many abrupt changes took place.' -- Dennis Puleston, New Scientist 'Smith reaches beyond the ordinary concerns of conventional art history and in collaboration with an impressive team of colleagues has produced [a volume that is] of the greatest significance when considering the increasing impact of scientific discoveries on art in the 18th century.' -- Jaynie Anderson, Modern Painters
