Description:
Adelaide: Frearson's, 1886. A composite view of 9 coaching scenes, from the rare "Pictorial Australian", which was published for only 10 years from 1885. The views include 'A Bush Stage'; 'A Nasty Pinch'; a 'Bush Change'; a 'Good Bit of Road'; 'Near Town'; 'Off the Track'; 'Bail Up'; 'Colts in the Team' & 'Too Much Water'. The National Library of Australia holds 15 of Esam's watercolors; 2 of those images are included in this print. In the 23 August 1886 issue of the "West Australian", this picture was reviewed and was deemed "very good". According to Trove, 2 libraries hold volume 12 of the newspaper (SLSA & SLV) but but its not known if they include the supplement. The SLNSW has a run but not volume 12. Published in the Supplement, August 1886 as a double page view. 20 x 15". Chromolithograph. Original fold, chips at edges o/w bright and clean.

[Melbourne: George Robertson & Co, 1890. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. [Melbourne, George Robertson & Co., circa 1890s]. Oblong duodecimo, a leporello comprising 12 postcard-size chromolithographs. Original blue pebble-grain cloth bordered in blind and lettered in gilt on the front cover, but lacking the original ribbon ties; covers lightly worn, mottled and marked; in very good condition (internally fine). A scarce souvenir of rural Victoria at the end of the nineteenth century. The chromolithographs include 'Natives spearing Kangaroo', 'Alluvial Diggers', 'A Stampede', 'Yarding Cattle', 'Old Man Kangaroo at Bay', and 'A Buck Jumper'. The last one is curious - and inaccurate - to a fault; it depicts a rustic homestead and a couple of outbuildings, surrounded by post-and-railing fences, with the caption: 'Innamincka, Coopers Creek. Where Bourke [sic] the Explorer died'. Arthur Esam (1850-1934) looks good for the artwork.
