Abstract

Augustus Earle is advised to produce lithographic views such as Campbell Cataract before they are published by the French.

Full text

While Mr. Earle intends publishing views in the vicinity of Sydney, we would suggest to him the propriety of extending his views to the magnificent scenery in the vicinity of the King’s Table Land, the great Campbell Cataract, and the Regent’s Glen. These would be the more desirable from the circumstance that Commodore de BOUGAINVILLE intends publishing them in France, thus depriving our Colonial artists of the credit of a first publication. The grandeur and magnificence of the Campbell Cataract was so much admired by the French artists, that they declared it exceeded every thing they had seen during the whole of their expedition. Our Sydney pedestrians would be much gratified by a trip to these Alpine districts.
