    #S_T_Gill only occasionally portrayed drunks, and this may be the earliest extant such picture: the Annual Agricultural Show in 1846. Five hotel booth signs are in the scene including the Wheatsheaf #Adelaide!

    #AGSAAdelaide recently made their digitised image available in the public catalogue, so now I also can display it. #artHistoryAU @arthistory

    Today researching at Art Gallery of South Australia. Oddly #S_T_Gill’s 1830s pen and ink sketchbook from his youth has a single c.1850s/1860s pencil sketch on a spare middle page.
    Presumably he was just short of paper.

    Added an 1845 watercolour of North Terrace #Adelaide to the list of #S_T_Gill”s pictures for George French Angas. (It’s signed: G F Angas!) This further adds to my demonstration that Gill was a ghost artist for Angas.

    It’s NOT available online at #AGSAAdelaide and I don’t have permission to share the scan so that makes it a bit ho-hum for the reader. However I do link to an old newspaper reproduction!

    The Art Gallery of South Australia has lately put online a few more artworks by colonial artist George French Angas.

    "Extinct Crater, Mount Gambier, 6th May 1844" is one I'd written about (from a book image in B&W). Seeing it in colour supports my contention that "Blue Lake" is by Gill not Angas (and it is not Blue Lake).
