Frank Hodgkinson’s Sepik Diary is a lushly illustrated hardcover that records the Australian artist’s 1984 journey along Papua New Guinea’s Sepik River. Rich sketches and colour plates capture village life, carvings and river landscapes, making the book equal parts travel memoir and visual diary.

This 1984 first edition arrives with its original dust jacket and tight, unmarked pages; only light foxing on the inner boards keeps it from fine. The generous page size shows off Hodgkinson’s line work and watercolours, perfect for collectors of Pacific art or lovers of illustrated travel literature.

Ideal for readers of art, culture and cultural studies, the narrative blends personal observation with historical insight. The clean, smoke-free copy is ready for display or as a gift for anyone drawn to rare Australiana and visual storytelling.
