Convict Tattoos: Marked Men and Women of Australia

SIMON BARNARD

The untold story of convict Australia. More thank 166,00 convicts were transported to Australia. At least thirty-seven percent of men and fifteen percent of women were tattooed when they arrived. And their tattoos were systematically recorded when they disembarked. This book brings to life the stories behind those records and as a result, Barnard reveals an extraordinary slice of Australia's history.
