Colonial artist John Glover's Patterdale Farm and the revelation of the Australian landscape in northern Tasmania.
The catalogue produced to accompany the major 2003 Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery exhibition on John Glover — the English landscape painter who emigrated to Tasmania in 1831 at the age of 63 and spent the last eighteen years of his life painting the Tasmanian landscape at his property Patterdale near Evandale. Glover arrived in Van Diemen's Land having already established a considerable reputation as a landscape painter in Britain, where he had exhibited at the Royal Academy.
John Lee Archer (1791–1852) was Van Diemen's Land's first Colonial Architect and Civil Engineer, serving from 1827 to 1838 and responsible for virtually all government-commissioned buildings during that period. His works include Hobart's Parliament House (originally the Customs House), the Treasury and Ordnance Stores buildings, several buildings at Anglesea Barracks, numerous churches across the colony, the Low Head and Cape Bruny lighthouses, the Bridgewater Causeway and the Ross Bridge.
A reconstruction of Jorgen Jorgenson's 'lost' book on Tasmanian aboriginal customs and habits, and on his role in Van Diemen's Land roving parties and the Black Line.
