  • The City of Melbourne's Collection of Portraits
    The City of Melbourne’s Collection of Portraits by Phip Murray Tom Roberts, Portrait of Alderman Samuel Amess (mayor 1869–70), 1886 Bob van der Toorren, Portrait – Moomba Queen Mother – Dame Edna Everage, 1983 From Tom Roberts’s sublime painting of Mayor Samuel Amess to Bob van der Toorren’s ridiculous photograph of Dame Edna Everage as Queen Mother of Moomba – plus the odd photograph of a council engineer pointing out a pothole – the City of Melbourne’s collection of portraits is nothing if not idiosyncratic. A collection of marvellous diversity and range, it features thousands of faces in artworks that comprise everything from true art-historical treasures to pop-cultural delights. The collection was established when Melbourne City Council was inaugurated in 1842 and it now includes more than 8000 items, with an estimated value (at the time of writing) of $64 million. Its age and depth result in a more compact – and council-oriented – version of the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) collection of Australian works. Many of the country’s most celebrated artists feature in both collections. In the city’s collection, for instance, there are portraits by Australian impressionists such as Tom Roberts and Charles Douglas Richardson; modernists such as William Beckworth McInnes and Sir William Dargie; and contemporary artists such as Patrick Pound, Destiny Deacon, Sangeeta Sandrasegar and Callum Morton. Truth be told, there are also works of more variable quality, with artworks by seriously talented artists rubbing shoulders (appropriately) with portraits that are unremarkable or even – in the case of one mayor given unflatteringly green skin– remarkably strange.

THE MARKET COMMISSION. ^H'HOUGH Melbourne had been created and gazetted a town in April, 1837, it possessed no properly established market until the close of 1841. At the commencement of this year the inhabitants resolved to bring their township under the operation of the Markets Act of New South Wales, and took measures accordingly. As the Market Commission yvas the first legally constituted electoral body in Port Phillip it is to be hoped that a brief precis of some of the provisions of the Legislative talisman by which it yvas called into existence, may not be uninteresting. Il is a relic of the old Nominee Legislative Council of New South Wales, has long since become obsolete, and a copy of it is not now easily to be found in Victoria. The 3rd Vict. No. 19 (22nd October, 1839), is intituled "An Act to Authorise the Establishment of Markets in certain towns in New South Wales, and for the Appointment of Commissioners to manage same." By it tyventy-five free householders could meet and adopt a resolution for the establishment of a Market. This was then communicated by the Police Magistrate to the Colonial Secretary, and if it obtained the approval of the Executive Council, a notification would appear in the New South Wales Government Gazette.

Since November 19, 1834, when Edward Henty (aged 24 years) arrived at Portland Bay, there have been three major political events which have shaped the State of Victoria to make it what it is today: 1. Separation of the Port Phillip District (Victoria) from New South Wales – July 1, 1851 – the Separation Association (formed June 4, 1840) was strongly opposed to convict labour and convict settlement, and English military administration from Sydney, 2. The Eureka uprising in the Victorian goldfields, December 3, 1854, and subsequent ‘Not Guilty’ verdicts involving the Melbourne legal establishment many of whom had been vocal supporters of the Separation of Victoria and opposed to the oppressive English military administration, and 3.

  • History of New South Wales Under Our Free Constitution
    A HISTORY OF NEW SOUTH WALES, FROM ITS SETTLEMENT TO THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR 1844. BY THOMAS HENRY BRAIM, ESQ. OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE; FORMERLY HEAD MASTER OF THE EPISCOPALIAN GRAMMAR SCHOOL, HOBART TOWN, VAN DIEMEN'S LAND, AND NOW PRINCIPAL OF SYDNEY COLLEGE, NEW SOUTH WALES. As in a cradled Hercules, we trace The lines of Empire in thine infant face. CAMPBELL. IN TWO VOLUMES. VOL. I. LONDON: RICHARD BENTLEY, NEW BURLINGTON STREET, Publisher in erbinarp to 'der Alltaiestti. MDCCCXLVI. LONDON: Printed by Schulze and Co., 13, Poland Street. PREFACE. THE nature and object of the Work now issued to the world are sufficiently explained in the opening Chapter. The toils of an Author in Australia are not of that pleasing character, which suggested to the poet the expression " Labor ipse voluptas." While his fellow-citizens, the Great Republic of Letters at home, trim their lamps at leisure, and relax their bows, when Apollo ceases to be propitious, the Author in this hard-working country is compelled to pursue his task under the pressure of daily avocations ; his lamp often expires while his labours are incomplete, and his bow is broken from too great severity of tension. I have not been exempted from the general sentence. My professional calls are neither few, nor light ; and such is the best apology I have to offer for imperfections, which the critical reader will not fail to detect. Let this candid confession bespeak his indulgence. vi PREFACE. It is my pleasing duty to acknowledge the assistance and sympathy, which I have received in the execution of my undertaking.
