Walter Preston (1777-?)
Preston was an engraver sentenced to death for highway robbery and transported to the penal settlement of Newcastle for fourteen years in 1814 under the command of Captain Wallis. He engraved twelve views of NSW for Wallis and when these were subsequently published they were attributed not to Preston but Wallis. Very rare and important copper engraving from ‘Historical Account of the Colony of NSW’
