Twin photographic portraits of Trugernanner Truganini and William Lanne taken at Oyster Cove in 1866;

1870171471Hobart: Alfred Winter c.1870. An icon of a vanished race These compelling studio portraits of Truganini c.1812-1876 and William Lanne 1834-1869 issued in the 1870s by Hobart photographer Alfred Winter have long been burdened by the colonial myth of "the last of the Tasmanians". Truganini a Nuennone woman and daughter of Mangana endured the killings of close family members forced relocation to Oyster Cove and the continual intrusions of settler violence. Although repeatedly described as the final Tasmanian Aborigine this was a racist fiction disproved by the many descendants of her contemporaries. Lanne often named as Truganini's third partner was seized with his family in 1842 confined on Flinders Island later moved to Oyster Cove and into a Hobart orphanage and eventually went to sea as a whaler. Labelled the "last male" of his community he died in 1869 of disease exacerbated by these conditions. Their portraits must be read within the 19th-century "salvage" ethnography that treated Indigenous peoples as vanishing subjects and sought to record them before their supposed extinction. From Bishop Francis Nixon's 1858 photographs of the tiny imprisoned Oyster Cove community to Charles Woolley's 1866 studio images for the Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition photography served a pseudo-scientific narrative of disappearance. Woolley's vignetted portrait of Truganini became an icon of this myth even as it misrepresented a living and surviving people. The belief in extinction proved tenacious: Truganini's death was taken as definitive despite later corrections - including Robert Hughes's reminder that the last full-blood Tasmanian Aborigine was Suke who died in 1888. Sir J. W. Agnew's 1888 paper "The Last of the Tasmanians" included in this volume typifies the period's primitivist and racist assumptions attributing the community's collapse not to colonial violence but to the supposed nature of these "children of the forest" and their mistreatment by "all kinds of whites".

An extremely scarce account of early life in Tasmania including his experience guarding convicts / work crews many of them North American political prisoners transported for their participation in the rebellion in Upper Canada in 1838. It also includes a valuable account of the life of the bushranger Mike Howe. James Syme was a Scot. Supervising convicts from 1841-1845 he described the Rocky Hills road station as a "hotbed of idleness and laxity." He recalled that in 1842 there were 400 cases of insubordination and escape. Conditions were so bad that military reinforcements had to be sent from Hobart Town. Louisa Anne Meredith early settler and botanical artist was unimpressed by the efforts of the Rocky Hills road gang recalling that 'at one part of the road we found a gang of men employed in its improvement; forming in the mean time greater obstacles than they removed; and so they have continued to be employed . and still after nearly nine years the comparatively trifling task remains unfinished. The mismanagement of the gang was evident. This herding together of so many idle men under the pretence sic of "doing probation" as they call it must be injurious to the well-disposed among them and is no punishment to the worthless' Meredith 1852 pp.83–84.<br /> <br /> Ferguson 4929; Wilson 101. 12mo iv 384pp yellow endpapers marked.
