Description:
George Collingridge was an artist and engraver who worked at the Illustrated Sydney News after migrating to Australia and brother of Arthur. He rarely used ‘de Tourcey’. He also wrote “The Discovery of Australia” a study of the early charting of the continent. From the original edition of the Illustrated Sydney News. The Illustrated Sydney News, which was published from 1854 to 1889 and included a number of high quality engravings to illustrate the accompanying news and articles. It was issued on a monthly basis due to the time consuming process of having to engrave each illustration which would take one engraver between one and two weeks to make each one. Due to their ephemeral nature few have survived.
