Biography:
John Eyre (1771-1812 )
Eyre was sentenced to seven years transportation for housebreaking and arrived in Sydney in 1801 aboard the Canada. He was granted a conditional pardon in June 1804 and advertised in the Sydney Gazette in the same year that he wished to buy a box of watercolours. In 1807 Governor Bligh employed him to transfer three charts of Port Dalrymple into one single chart. To make ends meet he was also employed to paint numbers on all the buildings east of the Tank Stream at sixpence a time. Eyre left the colony in early 1813 leaving behind a considerable number of works in the colony, many of which are now in the Mitchell and National Library’s collections.
