Dr Savage's Bermuda

254pp, profusely illustrated in full colour. In red cloth boards with gilt lettering. In as new condition throughout. In its original dust jacket (very slightly bumped on edges). A finely produced, handsome volume with marbled endpapers and high-quality image reproduction, in gifting quality throughout. The forgotten landscape of Bermuda in the 1830s is recorded in this remarkable collection of paintings by the prolific and talented Royal Artillery surgeon, Dr Johnson Savage. The paintings marked the start of an extraordinary relationship between Bermuda and generations of the Savage family. Included are exquisite images from Savage's later postings in Corfu; his work as a medical illustrator; paintings by his Royal Navy Midshipman son, Arthur and an account of the doctor's grandson, Arthur Johnson Savage, who completed the great Ordnance Survey of Bermuda in 1900.
