Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
The Illustrators’ Artistry contains more than 70 of the newspaper’s drawings between 1856 and 1862 as well as background on 10 artists, with one written by Barwood.
“The illustrations in themselves are works of art and are an excellent source of information for anyone seeking insight into life in early colonial Australia. The often meticulous detail contained in these illustrations is a boon to those wishing to focus on the ephemera of early colonial lifestyles – the household objects, the buildings, the dress and the activities of the early colonials – but the real joy in their study is the wider context in which these newspapers and their illustrations exist.” from the foreword by Dr Janice Croggon.
