  • Trudy Cowley & Dianne Snowden
    Trudy Cowley & Dianne Snowden, Patchwork Prisoners: the Rajah Quilt and the women who made it, Hobart: Research Tasmania, 2013. 326 pages, includes Index and Bibliography The ship Rajah arrived in Hobart in 1841 with a cargo of female prisoners, and the patchwork quilt made by some of them. This book tells their story, and the authors, both well‐known historians, have left no stone unturned to cover every aspect of it. In doing so, they have skilfully set the voyage, the quilt and the women in the context of their times. There is fascinating information about the quilt, with excellent material about Elizabeth Fry and her Ladies’ Committee, who provided not only materials for the quilt, but a matron (Keziah Hayter) to supervise making it. The authors suggest identifications of quilters among the convicts, with those who acknowledged sewing skills more likely. All convicts on board are described: their crimes, their native places, their descriptions, ages, height and background, for example whether they were ‘on the town’. The trip out is also described, and what happened to the women when they arrived: where and to whom they were assigned, their experiences, any further offences. Many lived in institutions, such as female factories, hiring depots and hospitals. Many women married, and this is covered in detail: how many were already married in Britain, colonial marriages, children – and those who did not marry, and who had same‐sex relationships. Women’s lives after sentence are described – their jobs, their marriages, family life, in chapters entitled ‘Freedom’ and ‘Surviving’. Then comes death, which is analysed in detail: the cause, age, place, and memorials for the women.

    TEACHERS NOTES TEACHERS’ NOTES 1 NEVER LOSE HOPE BY MARK WILSON Teachers' Notes by Robyn Sheahan-Bright Introduction 3 Themes 4 Curriculum Topics 5 Study of History, Society and Environment English Language and Literacy Visual Literacy Creative Arts Learning Technologies Mathematics Further Topics for Discussion and Research 10 Conclusion 10 Author’s Notes 11 About the Author/Illustrator 11 Blackline Masters 13 Bibliography 16 About the Author of the Notes 20 2 INTRODUCTION ‘He thought of Isabella. He could picture her so clearly, standing in the sunlight by the window, smiling at him as they talked about knowledge, the power of words – and the future.’ The year is 1789, and John is a nine-year-old convict child in the colony of New South Wales who is desperately scrounging for food, when he meets young Isabella, another convict who has been asked by Reverend Richard Johnson and his wife Mary Johnson to teach other children to read. Isabella gives food to John who responds with a bouquet of daisies. He soon joins her class and is enjoying learning to read when soldiers arrest him for the petty theft of food. He is transported to Norfolk Island but he has Isabella’s message to keep him company: ‘Never Lose Hope.’ Mark Wilson’s magnificent photo-realistic artwork brings historical subjects to vibrant life in this, and in his previous works. He is a master of portraiture and of landscape painting and his painstaking historical research is enhanced by his attention to visual detail. The book is enriched by its research into the actual people depicted in this text and into colonial art and artists to whom he pays homage in this visual text.

  • CONVICT WOMEN at THEIR NEEDLE in MORETON BAY Jan Richardson Postgraduate Student
    CONVICT WOMEN AT THEIR NEEDLE IN MORETON BAY Jan Richardson Postgraduate student, University of New England (UNE) ‘What the Convict Women Brought With Them — And What They Left Behind’ Female Convict Research Centre Seminar Hobart - November 2015 This paper examines the lives of female convicts through the lens of the skills and trades they brought with them to New South Wales (NSW), with a particular focus on needlewomen and dressmakers who served sentences of secondary punishment at Moreton Bay between 1824 and 1839, or who lived in Queensland after it had been opened up to free settlement in 1842. In her 1994 article, ‘Packing her (economic) bags: Convict women workers’, Deborah Oxley wrote that despite contemporary descriptions of female convicts as abandoned, worthless, illiterate and lacking in any skills — not to mention those dismissing all female convicts as prostitutes — the convict indents reveal a different picture.1 Oxley examined the records of nearly 7,000 convict women transported to NSW between 1826 and 1840, representing nearly half of the women transported to NSW and one-quarter of the 25,000 women transported to the Australian colonies (the remainder having been transported to Van Diemen’s Land).2 The vast majority of Oxley’s 7,000 women worked in domestic or farm service as maids, servants, laundresses, cooks or doing ‘allwork’.3 Outside of domestic work, the most common occupations were needlewoman, dressmaker, nurse, barmaid, milliner, straw bonnet maker, baker and factory labourer.4 Sewing trades were the most common non-domestic skills that women possessed, with 470 needlewomen and another 180 women working as dressmakers, mantua makers, tailoresses and embroiderers.

In its use of domestic objects as visual metaphors, the project locates itself within the context of the still life genre but at the same time seeks to re-interpret this tradition in a way which makes it relevant to contemporary concerns. The exegesis contextualises the project through discussion of what the domestic object traditionally symbolised in the history of Western art, specifically looking at the still life and narrative genre painting which used the domestic object to deliver moralising and ideological messages. The discussion then focuses, on artists who in the twentieth century re-deployed domestic objects in other ways, wresting them from their traditional meanings.
