Description:
Famous and rare aquatint by the convicted forger and artist, Joseph Lycett.
The view is looking towards Nobby’s taken just before it ceased to be a penal settlement and with Port Stephens in the distance. Captain Wallis laid out the streets of the town and on the left is Christchurch built in 1817.
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.
