Paperback small, very good condition, card covers, stapled, full-page black & white photos, staples minimally rusted, front cover minimally rubbed, minor edgewear, tiny owner's written name title page. 81 pp. This little booklet by Richard Lord describes inscriptions from the Cemetery of the Port Arthur Penal Establishment 1830 - 1877. Today there are 76 headstones remaining on the Island, and, whilst many are in good condition, the others are damaged and unreadable. The readable inscriptions have been included in the hope that they may help in identifying the missing details. Some of the inscriptions have been taken from old photos as the headstones were not on the Island when recording was done. These have been included for completeness. The Port Arthur Burial Registers were searched, but only a few of these books remain and not all names were found. Those that were found are noted. Photographs by J. C. S. Bowler.
