Heavy, and delivery costs may be a consideration especially outside Britain. Johann Joseph Eugene von Gurard (1811Ğ1901) was an Austrian-born artist, active in Australia and New Zealand from 1852 until 1882. Known for his finely detailed landscapes in the tradition of the Dsseldorf school of painting, he is represented in Australia's major public galleries, and is recognized as one of Australia's greatest nineteenth-century landscape painters. By the early 1860s von Guerard was recognised as the foremost landscape artist in the colonies, touring Southeast Australia and New Zealand in pursuit of the sublime and the picturesque. He is most known for the wilderness paintings produced during this time, which are remarkable for their shadowy lighting and fastidious detail. The scientific accuracy of such work has led to a reassessment of von Guerard's approach to wilderness painting, and some historians believe it likely that the landscapist was strongly influenced by the environmental theories of the leading scientist Alexander von Humboldt. He was one of a number of influential German-speaking residents who brought their "epistemic traditions" to Australia, and not only became "deeply entangled with the Australian colonial project", but also were "intricately involved in imagining, knowing and shaping colonial Australia" Fine.

Print. Plate VII from Eugene von Guérard's Australian Landscapes 1866-68. A stunning view oin the Blue Mountains, N.S.W. Originally named The Weatherboard, the town was Jamisons Valley in 1815. In July 1867, the first railway journey to the Blue Mountains traveled through to Weatherboard Station, where the train terminated. In 1879, the village took its name from the nearby waterfalls, which had been named for William Charles Wentworth, one of the men that headed the exploration to cross the mountains in 1813 and a friend of John Jamison. Two men with a rifle are overlooking the falls. Color lithograph, signed in the plate, with the oval blind stamp for the publisher Hamel & Ferguson below the title.

Print. Plate XV from Eugene von Guérard's Australian Landscapes 1866-68. American Creek, Mt. Kembla. Trees pictured include cabbage trees, bangalow palms and flame trees. Timbermen are working in the foreground to fell the huge trees. Von Guerard describes the scene thus: This sylvan scene is situated at a distance of little more than ten miles from Wollongong, near the junction of a little stream upon which some prosaic devotee of the bottle has bestowed the dishonouring appellation of the Brandy and Water Creek, with the American Creek, and at the foot of a noble range of mountains. With the lofty bangalow palm, the cabbage palm, the gigantic wild fig-tree, the fire tree (otherwise known as the blaze tree) with its vividly scarlet blossoms, are intermingled the nettle tree, the rose-wood, the sassafras, the white-wood, the wild rose, numerous varieties of the fern tree, and parasites innumerable the whole being woven together into one dense and almost impenetrable mass of foliage. Unfortunately the progress of settlement is necessitating the destruction of some of these magnificent forests, which in many instances clothe a rich chocolate soil of especial value to the farmer. At the time this view was sketched, numerous fires had been kindled by the wood-cutters, and the stately giants were rapidly falling before the pitiless axe of the hardy pioneers of civilization.

"The bold and romantic headland which bears this title forms one of the most picturesque "bits" of scenery on the Victorian coast. The rocks have been worn into the most grotesque and fantastic shapes by the action of the waves, which rush in, with a majestic sweep, from the Southern Ocean . the artist has indicated the entrance of Port Phillip by the position of the steamer faintly visible in the offing."

Print. Condition: Very good overall. From Eugene von Guérard's Australian Landscapes 1866-68. Von Guerard is said to have painted the work "at the entrance to Dobson's Gully in the Dandenong's'. The area was the location where Thomas Dobson made his home and established a timber camp. He called it 'Lightwood Gully', the original name for Ferntree Gully. "His remarkable image of a fern-tree gully in the Dandenong Ranges, some 40 kilometres east of Melbourne, conveys a sense of the landscape as a spiritual sanctuary. Painted on return to the artist's Melbourne studio, Ferntree Gully in the Dandenong Ranges is a work that combines von Guerard's meticulous observation of local plant species with his artiistic interest in compositional arrangement and the creation of a 'mood' particular to this environment. In this case we are privy to the magical world of a bower - an enclosed gully of natural foliage created by towering tree ferns. A pool of light on the forest floor leads us to two male lyrebirds cast in shadow, one withits characteristic tail feathers raised.: Tiom Bonyhady, Australian Colonial Paintings in the Australian National Gallery, Canberra; Australian National Gallery, 1986, p. 171.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Rare and important lithograph of Sydney Harbour, by one of the most famous and important Australian colonial artists. From Guerard's, Eugene von Guerard's Australian Landscapes. From the summit of a knoll on the roadside from Sydney to the narrow promontory known as the South Head, is visible the lovely prospect depicted by our artist. The miniature Bay of Vaucluse occupies the foreground to the left, and to the right Watsons Bay exhibits its graceful curve. Travelling onwards, the eye rests for a moment upon the Dunbar Lighthouse beyond which, the narrow entrance to Port Jackson is sufficiently well defined while the bold headland which constitutes the rounding point of the entrance to the north harbour, bounds the view in that direction. Somewhat to the right of this rocky barrier, Manly Beach is faintly indicated. The road to the South Head is deservedly a favourite drive with the inhabitants of Sydney, and the stranger passing over it for the first time experiences a succession of demands upon his admiration, as each bend in the road discloses to him some new combination of sea and shore and sky, each lovelier than the last.
