    The "sheet of pure white drawing paper is ... perfectly unconscious of the impending fate that awaits it"!

  2. In the 1980s Ralph Grandison was mapping #S_T_Gill's artworks in #SouthAustralia. I recently viewed in the State Library his 1991 paper on Gill's 1844 #Barossa works. Interestingly he's included many of "The Seasons and The Months" - see image snippet. Clearly he didn't accept Appleyard & Radford's 1986 redating of these from 1847 to 1840-42. #artHistoryAU #colonialArtAU #historicalMapping

    Over the next few months, I'll need to supplement my earlier work with Grandison's insights at: coombe.id.au/S_T_Gill/S_T_Gill

  7. Welcome to my project on arguably Australia's most recognisable colonial artist, Samuel Thomas Gill. It's a blend of #catalogueRaisonné, biography, historical narrative and map atlas. The scope is from Gill's arrival in #SouthAustralia in 1839 up to his early time at the Victorian gold diggings in 1852-53.

    Project update: Six articles on the diggings are now complete except for pending visits to Sydney and Adelaide to check on some undigitised sources. Good progress on at least two articles for 1839-1844 gap.

    Later this year I'll write some more reflective material and some of particular interest post 1853.

  12. Historical Adelaide Maps

    I'm setting free my #TroveAU lists of historical #Adelaide maps by changing them from private to public view. Originally for my research, I now make them publicly available for what they're worth. (This material found more mature realisation in interactive maps and related map articles on my website.) #historicalMapping
