• The book is an edited and illustrated version of the original one and includes 65 or more unique illustrations which are relevant to its content.
• Borneo and the Indian Archipelago by Frank Marryat. Frank Marryat (1826–1855) was a sailor, artist, and author. “I wish the readers of these pages to understand that it has been with no desire to appear before the public as an author that I have published this Narrative of the Proceedings of Her Majesty's ship Samarang during her last Surveying Cruise.During the time that I was in the ship, I made a large collection of drawings, representing, I hope faithfully, the costumes of the natives and the scenery of a country so new to Europeans. They were considered, on my return, as worthy to be presented to the public, as being more voluminous and more characteristic than drawings made in haste usually are.”
