Thomas Bowler in Mauritius - A Detail in the History of Contacts Between the Cape of Good Hope & Mauritius
From the introduction: "This book was conceived in July 1967 when my wife and I visited Mauritius, primarily in search of pictures by Thomas Bowler. The enchanting natural beauty of this island in the Indian Ocean, so unlike that of my native Cape of Good Hope, made such an appeal to me, that I felt strongly that it was something of a tragedy that Bowler had been unable to carry out his intention of publishing by public subscription, an album of lithographic prints, showing views of Mauritius over a hundred years ago. It occured to me, therefore, that a small monograph containing as many reproductions as possible of the original Mauritius paintings and sketches made by Bowler, would help in some small way to remedy this deficiency."
64 page hardcover published 1970 by A.A. Balkema. This is copy number 279/300 numbered copies signed by Frank R. Bradlow. Frontispiece map of Mauritius, numerous Bowler illustrations four of which are folding, salmon paper covered boards (small dent on the front one), with white spine, titled gilt on the upper cover and spine.
