    ‘QUILLED ON THE CANN’ ALEXANDER HART, SCOTTISH CABINET MAKER, RADICAL AND CONVICT John Hawkins A British Government at war with Revolutionary and Republican France was fully aware of the dangers of civil unrest amongst the working classes in Scotland for Thomas Paine’s Republican tract The Rights of Man was widely read by a particularly literate artisan class. The convict settlement at Botany Bay had already been the recipient of three ‘Scottish martyrs’, the Reverend Thomas Palmer, William Skirving and Thomas Muir, tried in 1793 for seeking an independent Scottish republic or democracy, thereby forcing the Scottish Radical movement underground. The onset of the Industrial Revolution, and the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars placed the Scottish weavers, the so called ‘aristocrats’ of labour, in a difficult position for as demand for cloth slumped their wages plummeted. As a result, the year 1819 saw a series of Radical protest meetings in west and central Scotland, where many thousands obeyed the order for a general strike, the first incidence of mass industrial action in Britain. The British Government employed spies to infiltrate these organisations, and British troops were aware of a Radical armed uprising under Andrew Hardie, a Glasgow weaver, who led a group of twenty five Radicals armed with pikes in the direction of the Carron ironworks, in the hope of gaining converts and more powerful weapons. They were joined at Condorrat by another group under John Baird, also a weaver, only to be intercepted at Bonnemuir, where after a fight twenty one Radicals were arrested and imprisoned in Stirling Castle.

  • AH374 Australian Art and Architecture
    AH374 Australian Art and Architecture The search for beauty, meaning and freedom in a harsh climate Boston University Sydney Centre Spring Semester 2015 Course Co-ordinator Peter Barnes [email protected] 0407 883 332 Course Description The course provides an introduction to the history of art and architectural practice in Australia. Australia is home to the world’s oldest continuing art tradition (indigenous Australian art) and one of the youngest national art traditions (encompassing Colonial art, modern art and the art of today). This rich and diverse history is full of fascinating characters and hard won aesthetic achievements. The lecture series is structured to introduce a number of key artists and their work, to place them in a historical context and to consider a range of themes (landscape, urbanism, abstraction, the noble savage, modernism, etc.) and issues (gender, power, freedom, identity, sexuality, autonomy, place etc.) prompted by the work. Course Format The course combines in-class lectures employing a variety of media with group discussions and a number of field trips. The aim is to provide students with a general understanding of a series of major achievements in Australian art and its social and geographic context. Students should also gain the skills and confidence to observe, describe and discuss works of art. Course Outline Week 1 Session 1 Introduction to Course Introduction to Topic a. Artists – The Port Jackson Painter, Joseph Lycett, Tommy McCrae, John Glover, Augustus Earle, Sydney Parkinson, Conrad Martens b. Readings – both readers are important short texts. It is compulsory to read them. They will be discussed in class and you will need to be prepared to contribute your thoughts and opinions.

Thomas Martyn, 1766. Two hundred years after these words were written, economic pressures compelled the British aristocracy to open the doors of the great houses to the curious public. Today in Australia, while private collections are frequently available to the public through National Trust open days, exhibitions in public museums, or other means, the public collections of museums are all too rarely accessible. Museums draw too hard a line between those things which the public may see - the things on display - and those things the public may not see - the things in "storage".

ETH Library Architects on the Verge: Distance in Proximity at “The Pleasures of Architecture” Janina Gosseye ETH Zurich Donald Watson University of Queensland Between May 23 and 26, 1980, the New South Wales chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects held a conference in Sydney, entitled “The Pleasures of Architecture.” International guests invited to speak at this conference were Michael Graves, George Baird and Rem Koolhaas. To feed the discussion, the conference organisers invited twenty prominent Australian architects to submit a design to fictionally complete Engehurst, an 1830s villa in Paddington (Sydney) originally designed by architect John Verge, which was never completed and of which only a fragment still existed. All schemes were presented in an exhibition that took place in parallel with the conference. The proposed projects were published in full in the April/May 1980 issue of Architecture Australia and were remarkably diverse in their conceptual approach to the completion of Verge’s villa.

  • FIG. 1. Elizabeth Bay House, Sydney, NSW: the Staircase Hall (Richard 5Iringer)
    FIG. 1. Elizabeth Bay House, Sydney, NSW: the Staircase Hall (Richard 5Iringer). .onum~ntum 25 (4), 235-251, 1982 236 Two hundred years ago there was no Australian architecture. On 26 January 1788 the lirst English ships carrying convicts destined for the new penal colony anchored at Port Jackson and unloaded their human freight; and on that clay the building of a nation began. Marines paraded while convicts toiled and swore, felled trees, cleared ground, set up a forge, landed provisions and erected the first structures in Australia-tents and marquees for the officers and guards.1 Yet such was the rapidity with which the colony prospered that by 1891 the rateable value of Melbourne, which had been founded only in 1837, FIG. 2. Clive Lucas was the third highest in the British Empire.2 In that relatively short time a civilization based on the British model had been transferred almost 11,000 miles (18,000 kilometres), and the churches, universities, public buildings and private houses which form the currently most prized part of the Australian architectural heritage, had been erected. This reduced time scale provides an obvious difference between conservation in Europe and Australia. We discussed this with Clive Lucas (Fig. 2) in his Sydney office, and he drew our attention to the historical importance of a book published in 1924. Nowa highly prized collectors' item, Old Colonial Architecture in New South Wales and T asmania contains beautifully drawn plates made by W. Hardy Wilson of the most important buildings then remaining from the early nineteenth century. In the introduction Wilson wrote how years ago, when I returned to Australia from the study of architecture in Europe and America, my enthusiasm for ancient buildings was immense.

Judy Birmingham University of Sydney The follo~ng paper was compiled by Robert J. Varman as a working summary of existing sources relevant to the excavation of Elizabeth Farm in December 1978 (pending completion of the forth­ coming research into the later periods of the Far.m by the Heritage and Conservation Branch). It does not pretend to be original work. Its sources are clearly set out in the Abbreviations, and its lay-out emphasizes what it was intended to be - a quick reference aid to known historical data relevant to the site and its buildings, and the ·life of those who lived there. Entries in the left-hand colunm are from contemporary accounts, those in the right-hand column from later retrospective and secondary sources.

  • Heritage Council Report 2000
    Heritage Council of NSW Annual Report 1999 - 2000 FROM THE CHAIR In December 1999 I completed my first term as Chair of the Heritage Council. I was very pleased to agree to the Minister’s request to extend the appointment for a further two years. I have visited many more parts of the State in this role during the past year - places like Dubbo, Coolah, Cowra, Canowindra, Newcastle, Macquarie Marshes and Port Macquarie. I have also spoken to groups as diverse as the Royal Australian Historical Society, the Newcastle City Council and the National Trust. I have also attended launches and functions organised by the Heritage Office. And of course there have been many opportunities to spread the heritage message through the media. These visits, and the conversations and discussions that go with them, constantly reinforce my conviction that heritage does matter to most people. Most of us understand that we need to maintain and build on our connections with the past. Not for sentimental reasons, but because it is those connections that ground us in the here and now. We need them to make sense of our lives and our aspirations. I have been particularly pleased this year to see all the work in preparing the Heritage Curriculum Materials Project finally come to fruition with the distribution of these innovative units to all primary schools in the State. It is vital that cultural heritage forms a normal part of the school curriculum so that the rising generation of school students has a better understanding of the need to conserve and pass on to future generations the places and objects that are important to us.
