Item description from seller

Complete with frontispiece portrait in each volume, and 16 illustrated plates. Marbled endpapers, all gilt edges. Publisher's matching black cloth slipcases, light shelf wear to both, bumped lower corner of one case, solid binding. All 500 copies are signed with a facsimile signature of Prince Philip after his preface. This work is one of 500 copies from Genesis Publications, and one of 50 set aside for deluxe binding by Zaehnsdorf and signed by Lord Brabourne on the limitation page. This work was first published in 1963, titled "The Endeavour Journal of Joseph Banks 1768-1771," edited by J.C. Beaglehole from the original journals held at the State Library of New South Wales. Lord Brabourne (1924-2005), was a British peer and Oscar-nominated film producer. He married Patricia Mountbatten, daughter of Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India. On August 27, 1979, he was seriously injured in an IRA bombing that killed Mountbatten, his mother, and his 14-year-old son Nicholas. His film production credits include Murder on the Orient Express (1974) and A Passage to India (1984), the latter receiving multiple Academy Award nominations.
