Burke and Wills
The Scientific Legacy of the Victorian Exploring Expedition Edited by: EB Joyce & DA McCann 368 pages, 245 x 170 mm Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING Burke & Wills was designed to pay respect to an expedition that helped shape the history of Australia. Subtle colour has been used to break-up chapters and the body of text. The images have been etched so they appear as a collection of historic artifacts, not lifeless flat reproductions of the originals. The design aims to give a personal and precious treatment to an important scientific analysis.
