        Collins, Australia - View of Sydney, on the South side of Norfolks Island

        Est: $200 - $500

        This historical, first edition engraving is from David Collins's An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales. The work was published in London in 1798 for T. Cadell & W. Davies. The work was a substantial account of the first Australian settlement and featured many images of early life in Sydney as well as Parramatta. The engravings were prepared by the artist Edward Dayes after sketches completed by the convict artist, Thomas Watling. Collins arrived with the First Fleet as Judge-Advocate and was Secretary (and friend) to Governor Phillip. His work served as a valuable account of life early on in the settlement of Australia. He resided there for ten years, and his publication was the last of the Australian foundation books to be published. It is often described as the earliest history of Australia as an English colony. Collins was the longest serving of the First-Fleeters. His work provided insight into daily life of the English settlers as well as aboriginal life. David Collins wrote “the most painstaking of all accounts of the First Fleet voyage and the first settlement... and the last of the First Fleet journals, aptly described as the first history of New South Wales." “Collins went out to Australia with the first convict fleet as deputy judge-advocate on Governor Arthur Phillip’s staff. He was also secretary to the governor and the second most powerful man in the colony. This is the first official account of the colony, prepared upon Collins’ return to England, describing the first ten years of the settlement. Collins later returned again to Australia to found a new colony, finally establishing it at what is now called Hobart… He served as lieutenant-governor of Van Dieman’s land (Tasmania) until his death in 1810.” (Hill 335)

        Est: $400 - $800

        While George Shaw is often credited with the first scientific description published of the platypus, Shaw published that particular account in 1799. David Collins appears to have published this image and short description on its habitat and nature in 1798 preceding Shaw's image, though he had not labeled it a platypus at this point. This image is credited as being drawn by Governor Hunter. This historical, first edition engraving is from David Collins's An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales. The work was published in London in 1798 for T. Cadell & W. Davies. The work was a substantial account of the first Australian settlement and featured many images of early life in Sydney as well as Parramatta. The engravings were prepared by the artist Edward Dayes after sketches completed by the convict artist, Thomas Watling. Collins arrived with the First Fleet as Judge-Advocate and was Secretary (and friend) to Governor Phillip. His work served as a valuable account of life early on in the settlement of Australia. He resided there for ten years, and his publication was the last of the Australian foundation books to be published. It is often described as the earliest history of Australia as an English colony. Collins was the longest serving of the First-Fleeters. His work provided insight into daily life of the English settlers as well as aboriginal life. David Collins wrote “the most painstaking of all accounts of the First Fleet voyage and the first settlement... and the last of the First Fleet journals, aptly described as the first history of New South Wales." “Collins went out to Australia with the first convict fleet as deputy judge-advocate on Governor Arthur Phillip’s staff. He was also secretary to the governor and the second most powerful man in the colony. This is the first official account of the colony, prepared upon Collins’ return to England, describing the first ten years of the settlement. Collins later returned again to Australia to found a new colony, finally establishing it at what is now called Hobart… He served as lieutenant-governor of Van Dieman’s land (Tasmania) until his death in 1810.” (Hill 335)

Collins arrived with the First Fleet as Judge-Advocate and was Secretary (and friend) to Governor Phillip. His work served as a valuable account of life early on in the settlement of Australia. He resided there for ten years, and his publication was the last of the Australian foundation books to be published. It is often described as the earliest history of Australia as an English colony. Collins was the longest serving of the First-Fleeters. His work provided insight into daily life of the English settlers as well as aboriginal life. David Collins wrote “the most painstaking of all accounts of the First Fleet voyage and the first settlement... and the last of the First Fleet journals, aptly described as the first history of New South Wales." “Collins went out to Australia with the first convict fleet as deputy judge-advocate on Governor Arthur Phillip’s staff. He was also secretary to the governor and the second most powerful man in the colony. This is the first official account of the colony, prepared upon Collins’ return to England, describing the first ten years of the settlement. Collins later returned again to Australia to found a new colony, finally establishing it at what is now called Hobart… He served as lieutenant-governor of Van Dieman’s land (Tasmania) until his death in 1810.” (Hill 335)
