ABSTRACT
George Forster planned a major work on the botany of the voyage, "Icones Plantarum in itinere ad insulis maris australis collcctarum *, but it was never published. However, 131 engravings were made, and some pulls taken from them. Only two sets of these pulls are known. Aylmer Burke Lambert (1761-1842) acquired a set, and at the sale of his library in 1842 the set was bought by Bolm. This is probably the set sold by Friedlander in 1869 to the Botanic Gardens in Leningrad. The other set of 129 engravings is bound in with the Banksian collection of drawings. The two sets are thus not quite identical; the two engravings missing from the Banksian set are tab. 130 Gentiana saxosa, and tab. 131 Forstera sedifolia.
