"Norfolk Island Sketch Book"

This sketch of Government House, Norfolk Island, which was completed in 1829 for the Commandant of the penal colony of that time, Major Morisset, is one of a number of fine drawings by Unk White in Norfolk Island Sketch Book (Rigby Ltd., $1.95). White is well known for his sketch books on Australian cities, particularly Sydney. The text of this little book is by Sydney journalist Ruth Scriber, and gives a brief history of Norfolk Island, which is the second British settlement in the South Seas. A nice gift book.
