A World Apart - The Royal Society of Tasmania Art Collection - Numbered limited edition in slipcase

A World Apart catalogues, for the first time in full, the Royal Society of Tasmania's collection of more than 950 watercolours, drawings and other works on paper, now held under climate-controlled conditions at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Hobart.

The works span the 1840s to the early twentieth century and are by more than 50 artists, with multiple works by William Charles Piguenit, Francis Guillemard Simpkinson de Wesselow, John Skinner Prout, Louisa Anne Meredith, Owen Stanley and Anna Maria Nixon, and single works by Robert Hawker Dowling, Alfred Bock, Thomas Bock, Florence Rodway and many lesser-known artists.

The Royal Society of Tasmania was founded in 1843 and has played a central role in documenting Tasmania's environment, history and artistic traditions ever since.
