In fact three plates are deleted from the first edition numbers 18 25 and 46 in that list and ten new plates appear in this edition numbers 2 4 16 27 and 42-47. Plates 42-47 are wood-engraved versions by J. Bruer of plates that first appeared in Taplin's 'The Folklore Manners Customs and Languages of the South Australian Aborigines' 1879. <p>There are portraits of Wewat-thaleri and Waldaninyeri in Taplin these were original albumen paper photographs and four illustrations based on original artwork by Aboriginal artists - 'War Dance' by an unknown artist and 'Hunting Scene' 'Hunting Party' and 'Group of Animals' all by Yertabrida Yertebrida Solomon. In Taplin these four plates are lithographs and we suggest that Bruer has based his wood-engravings on the Taplin versions not on the original artwork. <p>The erratum at the foot of the list of illustrations notes that the attribution of 'Hunting Party' to Solomon has been omitted.
