"South Australia in 1842, by one who lived there nearly four years"
A little known booklet. This was #SouthAustralia coming out of 1841-42 depression and before the 1843 copper optimism.
In this new article I reattribute a #StateLibrarySA watercolour from Governor Gawler to John Michael Skipper. #colonialArtAU

The beautiful #StateLibrarySA’s Mortlock Chamber is in the news today but you’ll have to wait a little longer if you want to visit as it is closed for refurbishment. #Adelaide #SouthAustralia

Update: #StateLibrarySA images issue is now fixed. #S_T_Gill

Many #StateLibrarySA images have disappeared behind an onsite only wall, while others remain accessible.
Update: I submitted an enquiry to SLSA. They responded in just half an hour (!) and are working to resolve this as a priority. #S_T_Gill -

@KarenWyld Thanks Karen. Maybe not. #StateLibrarySA provided the microfilm for digitisation so it’s missing 1852. Intercolonial quoted snippets are findable. I can press on without 1852 Times. But it’s intriguing to wonder why it’s missing. Who originally owned the set? Was it from The Times itself?
