Description:
Charming view, engraved from a sketch by Charles Boydell’s wife, Mrs Elizabeth Boydell. Charles Boydell (1808-1869) emigrated to NSW in 1826 and took up land grants on the Allyn River, at Gresford, NSW. In 1837, Boydell married Elizabeth Macdonald Ritchie (1817-1899) and they settled on his property Camyr Allyn. Socially well-connected, Elizabeth was the daughter of Harriott Mary Dowling and grand-daughter of John and Harriott Blaxland of Newington, Sydney. The newspaper engravings below are taken from the pencil drawings of Mrs Boydell, who was described as a ‘lady resident in the district’. A keen amateur artist, her drawings capture the beauty and picturesque nature of the Allyn River region.
