$1,500 Negotiable
S. T. (SAMUEL THOMAS) GILL, "SPRING HILL FROM ROAD TO GOVERNMENT CAMP, CRESWICK'S CREEK"
Hand-coloured engraving by James Tingle after an illustration by S.T. Gill, circa 1860
12.5 x 18cm
Purchased from JOSEF LEBOVIC GALLERY, Sydney
Condition: Good. Paper is slightly discoloured with age. A few foxing spots. The colours are richer than the photographs can depict.
Quality framing. A few fleabites to the frame. Glazed and double matted.
S. T. Gill was born in Somerset, England in 1818 and arrived at Adelaide in 1839. He worked as an artist in Adelaide and went to the goldfields of Victoria after gold was found in 1851. He made a series of lithographs of life on the goldfields after having been unsuccessful as a prospector. He moved to Melbourne and showed the artworks, which were received with huge success. He lived for about a year in Sydney but returned to Melbourne in 1857, where he died in 1860 from the effects of hard living.
This work of the goldfields is from his most sought-after series.
