A charming series of views of the Caribbean island of Dominica, probably, according to Abbey, published for private circulation. The plates include large prospect of Roseau, Prince Rupert's Bay and Morne Daniole. In his dedication to Colonel MacDonald, the Lieutenant-Governor of Dominica, the artist Porter shows the purpose of his sketches to be to convey the 'beauty and grandeur' of the island, and to select 'the most familiar' views, 'considered the most likely to be interesting to the inhabitants.'
