- Summary:
-
"The discovery of the Wallis album ... was part of the impetus for this stunning exhibition. The album brilliantly depicts the early European settlement of Newcastle, or Coal River as it was then known. This treasured heirloom is Captain James Wallis' personal record of his time in NSW ... What is so special about the album is that it includes original watercolours and drawings which show how interested he was in this new country and in its people. He made friends with some local Indigenous Awabakal people and painted them from life, adding their names."--P. iii.
