Maile J. Bluck T. Sutherland and D. Havell.and possess a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value" Martin Hardie.<br/><br/>"Not an uncommon book but owing to the importance of its subject and the fact of its being the only notable colour plate book in English dealing with the Argentine it always commands a high price" Tooley.<br/><br/>Emeric Essex Vidal ca. 1788-1861 born into a naval family joined the Navy in 1808 and spent much of his career as a purser. He was stationed in 1820-1821 at St. Helena as secretary to Admiral Lambert on H.M.S. Vigo.
