GOLD RUSH Portrait of traveller and writer Friedrich Gerstäcker.

22961Albumen print photograph of a painted portrait carte de visite format 107 x 67 mm mount recto of mount with facsimile autograph of the famous writer along with the artist's details: 'E. Hader pinxit' the publisher's copyright statement: '1882. Gesetzlich geschützt' and the imprint of the photographer and publisher: 'Photographie und Verlag v. Sophus Williams Berlin W.'; verso with printed caption 'Friedrich Gerstäcker'; the albumen print and the mount are in fine condition. Both the fictional and non-fictional works of German traveller and writer Friedrich Gerstäcker 1816-1872 which are based on his experiences in New South Wales and South Australia are of great significance to the study of Australian society during the gold rush period. However we can trace no portraits of Gerstäcker in Australian public collections. From ADB: 'Friedrich Gerstaecker 1816-1872 writer and traveller was born on 10 May 1816 in Hamburg son of Friedrich Gerstaecker 1790-1825 opera singer. At an early age he entered an office but later went on the land. In 1837 he migrated to America where he led 'a wild and adventurous life'. On his return to Germany in 1843 he established himself as a writer of travel books. Factual accounts of his own experiences and guides for intending migrants were followed by novels on American life that made him famous in Germany. In 1849 he went from South America to the goldfields of California and thence to Australia by way of the South Sea islands. He arrived in Sydney in March 1851 took a coach to Albury and attempted to paddle down the Murray River in a self-made canoe. When it was wrecked he tramped 700 miles 1127 km to Adelaide 'the wildest and most dangerous march' of his life. He visited the German settlements in South Australia but in August the first news of the gold strike hurried him back to Sydney and the Bathurst diggings. He next went to the Dutch East Indies but in 1852 was back in Germany as an author and journalist living in turn in Leipzig Gotha Coburg Dresden and Braunschweig. In 1860-61 he was in South America observing the German colonists there. Next year he visited Egypt and Abyssinia and a fourth voyage in 1867-68 took him to the United States Mexico Ecuador and the West Indies. In 1870 he was war correspondent for a popular journal. He died on 31 May 1872. Gerstaecker was a prolific writer; the first edition of Gesammelte Schriften Jena 1872-79 in forty-three volumes is incomplete. His novels and stories based on experience and an extensive reading of travel books are unsophisticated narratives of exciting adventures in far-away countries but contain much ethnographical and geographical detail. The characterization is sketchy and the descriptions of exotic nature lack polish. The great success of his books in Germany was largely due to the sharp contrast they presented between the wide world and its freedom and the narrow parochialism of German life. The increasing flow of German migrants to Australia probably first aroused Gerstaecker's interest in the continent. In 1849 he compiled a handbook on Australia Nord- und Süd-Australien. Ein Handbuch für Auswanderer for intending German migrants. His Narrative of a Journey Round the World … Stuttgart 1853-54: English translation London 1853 vividly describes his adventures in Australia. His most popular Australian novels are Die beiden Sträflinge 1856; translated as The Two Convicts 1857 an adventurous story of a noble bushranger which was serialized in the Examiner and Melbourne Weekly News from October 1859 to March 1860 and Im Busch 1864 set in gold diggings near Sydney. Both deal with problems that he found specially interesting in the Australian scene: the complex relation between convicts bushrangers natives and free settlers the fate of German migrants in Australia and the exciting life of the goldfields. Many of his other works such as Blau Wasser1858 Inselwelt 1860 and Unter Palmen und Buchen 1865 have an Australian background; in 1853 he translated Charles Rowcroft's Tales of the Colonies Bilder aus Australien. His books were translated into several languages and in modernized editions some of his novels are still favoured reading of young people in German-speaking countries.' unknown
