Abstract

Andrew Morris identifies a vibrant watercolour of the goldfields as a scene drawn by George Alexander Gilbert in 1852 on the Mount Alexander goldfields near Castlemaine in Central Victoria, and traces some images which, he argues, are derived from the watercolour. [Australiana introduction, 2012].
