One of our 50 Treasures from the James Cook University Library's Special Collections, the Victorian Lady's Sketchbook is a mystery. We don't know who the creator is, where they came from or why they visited Australia, but we do know they made drawings and watercolour sketches of their journey from England, through India and into Australia - spending quality time in Bowen, Queensland.

There is actually a Sketchbook Project where people can order a sketchbook, fill it up, then donate it to The Brooklyn Art Library. People can view the physical copy there, or look at it online.

I had to Google the pencil to see when it was invented. 1795 by Nicolas Conte. The renderings are just lovely.

No-one has commented that the placename is Welsh - Pencraig = head (or end) of the rock. The surnames are also Welsh, Bowen = ap Owen, son of Owen, and Hughes (English spelling) = son of Hugh, In Welsh, Huw. Ap Huw is anglicised as Pugh. Gloucester Island is a group of protected islands on the Great Barrier Reef. I wonder if these places are identifiable.

Gorgeous! I love the flowers, and also those grand vistas painted in light limited palette washes. A large subject painted in a small format look just as expansive.
