120 pp. Extremely light edgewear to unclipped dustjacket. Book is as new. "More than 166,000 convicts were transported to British penal colonies in Australia. At least 37 percent of the men and 15 percent of the women were tattooed when they arrived. And their tattoos were systematically recorded as they disembarked. Anchors for hope or all hope lost, names and initials of loved ones never to be seen again, Masonic symbols and religious motifs, patriotic statements. Images from illustrated Bibles and tableware of the time, animals, mermaids, ships and true-love knots. With reproductions of individual convict entries and details of their felonry and subsequent adventures and misdemeanors, Simon Barnard reveals an extraordinary slice of Australia's history."
