Kangaroos, a platypus and the shores of Puget Sound share the pages of Illustrated Travels, a Victorian work of discovery, geography and adventure edited by Henry Walter Bates and published by Cassell, Petter and Galpin. The prints are catalogued to 1880 and range across Washington Territory, Senegal, the Pacific and Australia, with a Washington village and illustrations of people from different regions among them. Their captions carry the assumptions and vocabulary of their day as well as geographical information.
