Sarah Stone made drawings from a set of Australian specimens sent to England from NSW by Surgeon John White. The drawings were engraved and published in John White's 'Journal of a Voyage to New South Wales' (London, 1790).  This is an early, accurate, near-contemporary copy.  See image.  We are grateful to Andrew Isles for help cataloguing this item.
