[Australia: News from Home.] [&] [News from Australia.]
[Designed by H.S. Melville, and Engraved, Printed and Published by George Baxter, Patentee, 11, & 12, Northampton Square, Jan.y 31, 1853.] [&] [Published May 10th, 1854, by G. Baxter, Proprietor and Patentee, London.]
Pair of Baxter prints. Sheets c.110 x 150mm (4¼ x 6"). Trimmed to image as normal.
Two famous scenes of the British settlement of Australia. In 'News from Home' three European hunters sit in a ramshackle cabin with two Aboriginies, surrounded by dogs. One reads a letter from home, another is opening a letter and the third reads newspaper with a report about the 1851 Great Exhibition. On a perch is a cockatoo. In 'News from Australia' an old cobbler and his wife (in the UK) listen whilst their daughter reads a letter, in which was enclosed a £100 note, probably earned in the Gold Rush. A poster pinned to the wall reads 'Emigration to Australia the Ship Hope'.
