Only three copies traced at auction in the last 35 years. One of the most important illustrated books of the South Pacific containing fine lithographed views after watercolours by Lieutenant Shipley depicting scenes of Pitcairn Island, Tahiti, Samoa and Fiji. Conway Mordant Shipley (born in 1824) served onboard HMS Calypso on a cruise to the missionary stations in the South Sea Islands in 1848, having departed Valparaiso in February of that year. The work is dedicated to Vice Admiral Sir George F. Seymour, late Commander-in-Chief in the Pacific. The text contains a detailed description of the voyage, including the arrival at Pitcairn Island on the 9th of March, when a whale-boat was launched from the shore 'John Quintal was steersman and there were also Edward Quintal, Matthew Quintal, Fletcher Christian, John Adams, and many others with familiar names, in all twelve persons. Their forms were very robust, much sunburnt; dress, a shirt and trousers, though some few had coats; gentle-mannered and speaking English with great correctness, but with a Yankee accent.'. The author adds further chapters on the Society Islands, Samoa, or the Navigator Islands, and the Feejee or Viti Islands. A review of the work in The Spectator for 1st March 1851 states ' Lieutenant Shipley's sketches... present us with many picturesque combinations... the letterpress, narrative and descriptive... may be consulted with profit and amusement; especially the account of the small colony on Pitcairn's Island, descended from the mutineers of the Bounty '.
