This is the original artists’ proof for "The Vast Silence" by German artist and author Sigrid Noack on the diary entries of notable German explorer Ludwig Leichhardt thus providing a contemporary visual interpretation of his journals that document the overland expedition from Moreton Bay in Queensland to Port Essington in the Northern Territory during 1844-1845. The artists’ book also focuses on Leichhardt’s impressions of Aboriginal people and tribes he encountered, as well as Australia’s unique wildlife, landscape and geology all framed through Leichhardt’s scientific observations. 

The artist book contains 24 full page original colour paintings of acrylic and casein on cardboard or paper all inspired by descriptions of selected excerpts from Leichhardt's journal, also 1 portrait drawing of Ludwig Leichhardt. 36 pages of text of silkscreen on self or hand-tinted cardboard or paper. The text in the book, excerpts from Leichhardt's journal is presented in the original German with English parallel text. Front and back endpapers are of offset facsimile Leichhardt's handwriting. The cover is of Kahari-natural paper handmade from Nepal with an embellishment piece of palm fiber and the slipcase is of offset facsimile Leichhardt's handwriting.

The artist book also contains text "Uncommon trust, homage to Ludwig Leichhardt" by Ingeborg Arlt. The text is in both German and English.
