Description:
View of Kissing Point looking directly of the late James Squire’s brewery and estate. James Squire a convict, is credited with Australia’s first commercial brewery and became a prominent and respected businessman in the colony. By 1806, the Squire estate consisted of 881 acres from the current Gladesville Bridge to the Ryde Rail Bridge and from the harbour to north of Victoria Road. The house on the right promontory was the property of Thomas Bray.
Artist:
Joseph Lycett (1777-1828)
Painter & forger convicted in 1811 & transported to Botany Bay. On arrival he was given his ticket of leave but soon was reconvicted for forgery and sent to the penal settlement of Newcastle. Again in 1821 he received a pardon and returned to England armed with a portfolio of colonial views. In 1824 John published “Views in Australia” dedicated to the Earl of Bathurst. Lycett is acknowledged as being one the most important colonial artists to record the progress of the colony.
