186726900Melbourne: Hamel & Ferguson 1867. Print. Plate XV from Eugene von Guérard's Australian Landscapes 1866-68.<br /> <br /> American Creek Mt. Kembla. Trees pictured include cabbage trees bangalow palms and flame trees. Timbermen are working in the foreground to fell the huge trees. Von Guerard describes the scene thus: This sylvan scene is situated at a distance of little more than ten miles from Wollongong near the junction of a little stream upon which some prosaic devotee of the bottle has bestowed the dishonouring appellation of the Brandy and Water Creek with the American Creek and at the foot of a noble range of mountains. With the lofty bangalow palm the cabbage palm the gigantic wild fig-tree the fire tree otherwise known as the blaze tree with its vividly scarlet blossoms are intermingled the nettle tree the rose-wood the sassafras the white-wood the wild rose numerous varieties of the fern tree and parasites innumerable the whole being woven together into one dense and almost impenetrable mass of foliage. Unfortunately the progress of settlement is necessitating the destruction of some of these magnificent forests which in many instances clothe a rich chocolate soil of especial value to the farmer. At the time this view was sketched numerous fires had been kindled by the wood-cutters and the stately giants were rapidly falling before the pitiless axe of the hardy pioneers of civilization.<br /> <br /> Color lithograph signed in the plate with the oval blind stamp for the publisher Hamel & Ferguson below the title.

186726902Melbourne: Hamel & Ferguson 1867. Print. Very good overall. From Eugene von Guérard's Australian Landscapes 1866-68. Von Guerard is said to have painted the work "at the entrance to Dobson's Gully in the Dandenong's'. The area was the location where Thomas Dobson made his home and established a timber camp. He called it 'Lightwood Gully' the original name for Ferntree Gully.<br /> <br /> "His remarkable image of a fern-tree gully in the Dandenong Ranges some 40 kilometres east of Melbourne conveys a sense of the landscape as a spiritual sanctuary. Painted on return to the artist's Melbourne studio Ferntree Gully in the Dandenong Ranges is a work that combines von Guerard's meticulous observation of local plant species with his artiistic interest in compositional arrangement and the creation of a 'mood' particular to this environment. In this case we are privy to the magical world of a bower - an enclosed gully of natural foliage created by towering tree ferns. A pool of light on the forest floor leads us to two male lyrebirds cast in shadow one withits characteristic tail feathers raised.: Tiom Bonyhady Australian Colonial Paintings in the Australian National Gallery Canberra; Australian National Gallery 1986 p. 171. <br /> <br /> Color lithograph signed in the plate with the oval blind stamp for the publisher Hamel & Ferguson below the title.
