ABOUT
A notable 126+ year old travel book written by Scottish author Mary Stuart Boyd and extensively illustrated by her husband, the well-known painter and illustrator Alexander Stuart Boyd.
The book provides a lively, dual-perspective narrative of the couple's round-the-world voyage. The book documents a global tour taken by the family on board the Orient, featuring extended travels through the South Pacific, Australia, and Samoa.
A significant portion of the book focuses on New Zealand, dedicating 14 chapters to the country. Her observations capture early life in "Maoriland," including chapters covering Māori life in town, gold-mining operations, northern gum-fields, and the majestic kauri forests.
Highly regarded for containing 170 pen-and-ink sketches by A.S. Boyd, which vividly document the landscapes and people they encountered.
