Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. 1st Edition. Oblong quarto (8 x 10 6/8 inches). Engraved vignette title-page and 45 fine steel engraved plates interleaved with guards (one or two minor spots). Original blue cloth elaborately decorated in gilt (a bit rubbed, extremities a little scuffed). Provenance: from the library of Jacques Levy, his sale, Sotheb…y's, 20th April 2012, lot 335 First edition of the highly successful series of plates illustrating scenes in Melbourne, Geelong, the goldfields townships, and elsewhere in the Victorian countryside in Gill's inimitable style. Gill emigrated to Australia with his family in 1839, by 1852 he had arrived at the Victorian gold diggings, "and in the next twenty years produced drawings of Victoria and New South Wales, many published as lithographs. Evidence of visits to New South Wales in 1856 and 1861 exists in the form of lithographs of scenes in that colony in those years. Twenty-four lithographed sketches by Gill, 'Victoria Gold Diggings and Diggers As They Are', were published in Melbourne and London in 1853; moreover, most of the illustrations in 'The Gold-Finder of Australia; How He Went, How He Fared, And How He Made His Fortune' (London, 1853), said to have been edited but probably actually written by John Sherer, were taken from the book. In the 1850s Gill had a studio in Collins Street, Melbourne, over the premises of James J. Blundell & Co., booksellers and publishers. 'Victoria Illustrated', a book of steel engravings, not engraved by Gill but after his drawings, was published in Australia in 1857, and the colour lithographs in Edward Wilson's 'Rambles at the Antipodes' (London, 1859) are after Gill's drawings. Gill's 'Scenery in and Around Sydney' (1856) appeared in two parts, each including six 'lithographic sketches'. Several editions were published of 'The Australian Sketchbook' by S. T. G., a portfolio of lithographed views, mostly of rural life. In 1869 he was commissioned by the trustees of the Melbourne Public Library to do forty sketches of the Victorian goldfields during 1852-53" (Australian Dictionary of Biography online).

The very successful first series, after drawings by Gill, was published in 1857, and this the much rarer second series was designed as a companion volume. As Gill had since moved to Sydney, and was in decline, this second volume included the work of a number of other artists as well, including the celebrated Nicholas Chevalier, who is credited on the title-page vignette, all other plates are unsigned. This is an important historical record of Victorian Victoria in Australia, including detailed images of prominent and important buildings such as Banks, the Melbourne Club, hospitals, schools, the Bridge over the Yarra, and many river views. Gill emigrated to Australia with his family in 1839, by 1852 he had arrived at the Victorian gold diggings, "and in the next twenty years produced drawings of Victoria and New South Wales, many published as lithographs. Evidence of visits to New South Wales in 1856 and 1861 exists in the form of lithographs of scenes in that colony in those years.

G., a portfolio of lithographed views, mostly of rural life. In 1869 he was commissioned by the trustees of the Melbourne Public Library to do forty sketches of the Victorian goldfields during 1852-53" (Australian Dictionary of Biography online). Chevalier emigrated from Russia to Australia in 1855, and while illustrating for Punch and exhibiting his watercolours introduced chromolithography Victoria "where it became an important and flourishing art. He exhibited some of his delicately painted water- colours in December 1856 at the exhibition in Melbourne from which sprang the Society of Fine Arts. As an oil painter he was less successful, although his oil, 'The Buffalo Ranges', was selected as the best painting by a resident Victorian in an exhibition sponsored by the government in 1864. It was bought for £200, the first Australian painting obtained for the new National Gallery of Victoria. He continued to paint in oil and water-colour, often travelling about the countryside. His rather grandiose works in the style of the later Romantics were then popular, but his skilled technique, attention to detail and prolific output did not produce great painting. Although he had opportunities to observe much of interest, his over-conventionalized works lacked the atmosphere and inspiration of some contemporaries; probably his influence and importance as a personality were greater than his ability as an artist" (Australian Dictionary of Biography online).Ferguson, 9924b; Wantrup, 261.

Add to basketCondition: Very Good. [London, Published by Paul Jerrard & Son for the Proprietor Messrs. Newbold & Co., after 1865]. Two hand-coloured lithographs, individually framed and glazed at a much later date (matted just outside the printed border, obscuring the series title and plate number above the upper border; visible image sizes…approximately 210 × 260 mm; external dimensions 422 × 447 mm). Hand-colouring a little faded; light uneven tanning to the 'Bushrangers' plate; overall, in excellent condition (but not examined out of the frames). The complete series comprises twelve views of the Australian goldfields in the manner of S.T. Gill; the set 'was probably issued loose, without any title or wrapper' (Wantrup, page 327). The two plates on offer are 'The Lost Bushman, or The Unfortunate Digger That Never Returned' (Number 2), and 'Bushrangers waiting for the Mails in New South Wales' (Number 5). The title is printed beneath the image, along with four lines of explanatory text; the 'Lost Bushman' plate also has an additional four lines of verse. Wantrup suggests a date of publication after the appearance of Gill's 'Australian Sketchbook' in 1865, due to the numerous similarities between the two works. Complete sets of this series (and probably individual plates too) are clearly rare: Wantrup refers to incomplete sets selling at auction in 1977 and 1982, and the only addition to the book auction records since then is the incomplete set in the 2008 Davidson Collection sale (when 11 framed and glazed plates sold for $18,640 against an estimate of $6000-8000).

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Very Good. Very rare set of three c.19th hand coloured lithographs of a kangaroo hunt by Samuel Thomas Gill (1818-1880) printed by Allen and Wigley, Sydney. The only recorded sale of another set in the last 60 years was the F.G. Coles set with his bookplate, sold by Renard/Joel, July 1965, lot 547, this sa…me set was subsequently sold as part of the Davidson Collection --Part III on 7/25/2007 Lot 527. The first of the lithographs was announced in the press at the end of October 1858: Mr. S.T. Gill, whose reputation in every branch of his art is now so thoroughly established, has cleverly drawn on stone a lithograph 'No. 1, The Meet,' repesenting a bush party preparing to go out kanagroo hunting in the interior of Australia. This picture, which is of a torerably large size, is carefully printed on good paper, by Messrs. Allan and Wigley, of this city. The rude wooden hut in the wilderness, slim dogs, and strong, swift horses, with the colonial Nimrods and their attendants, for altogether a very pleasing and lively group. It was announced that the whole series would be available in January of the following year. (S, Grishin, S.T. Gill & his audiences.) In the first print titled; The Meet, shows Gill walking through a gate to his horse with a large dog on his left, and holding a bottle in his left hand. The rest of the party of men are outside a rustic colonial homestead with their horses and dogs. One of them has the conspicuous trappings of a wealthy squatter, tall, commanding, elaborately styled in black riding boots, yellow waistcoat, and scarlet jacket. In the second, The Chase, the squatter in the red jacket and white horse leaps over a fallen log. The reckless excitement of the hunt is obvious as the settlers gallop across the dangerous terrain, whips raised. The dogs are chasing a kangaroo, which is retreating into the distance. The third print: The Death, Shows a squatter beside his exhausted hounds as a hunter readies his knife to take the dead kangaroo s tail. Gill on the bay lifts his hat in greeting to a group of approaching Aborigines. Technique: Hand coloured lithographs, with one tint. Condition: Small repaired tear in one margin otherwise in good condition. Image size: 12" x 19" Paper size: 16.9" x 23.6".

Wonderful depiction of Captain Sturts large party departing Adelaide to determine the existence of a dividing range in central Australia in August 1844 by Gill, made during his time in South Australia 1839 to 1852. Through many setbacks including drought and flood Sturt undertook a trek of nearl…y five hundred miles towards the centre of the continent. He discovered Coopers Creek and crossed Sturts Stony Desert. He was eventually forced to turn back due to the sand dunes of the Simpson Desert. His expedition confirmed the confluence of the Darling and Murray Rivers, refuted the concept of an inland sea, found no large river and determined there was no central dividing range. Condition: In good condition. Technique: Lithograph, with original hand colouring and gum Arabic.
