Concrete Slab and Arch Bridges 101 Masonry Bridges Heritage Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW 2005 1 Historical Overview of Bridge Types in NSW: Extract from the Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO MASONRY BRIDGES IN NSW 1.1 History of early bridges constructed in NSW Bridges constructed prior to the 1830s were relatively simple forms. The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW).

  • Conrad Martens WORKS in OIL Catalogue of Works
    Conrad Martens WORKS IN OIL Catalogue of Works Compiled by Michael Organ Thirty Victoria Street 1989 1 Contents Introduction Conrad Martens & Oil Painting Guide to the Catalogue 1 Field Descriptions 2 Codes Index to Catalogue Catalogue of Works Appendices 1 Attribution of Conrad Martens Portraits 2 Cave Paintings 3 Southern Tableland Views 4 References to Oil Paintings (1837‐1979) Bibliography 2 Introduction This catalogue aims to identify all works executed in oil (and associated media such as body colour and gauche) by Conrad Martens during his career as an artist, and validate them with those noted in his manuscript ‘Account of Pictures painted at Sydney, N.S.Wales [1835‐78]’ (Dixson Library MS142 & MS143), or any of his other records such as letters, diaries, and notes on painting. Also included are portraits in oil of Martens by artists such as Maurice Felton and Mr Nuyts. Martens’ ‘Account of Pictures’ provides an invaluable source for identifying his more than 100 extant works in oil. Though ‘Account of Pictures’ specifically identifies only 35 oil paintings, many others noted ‐ but not identified ‐ therein as oils, can be matched with known works. ‘Account of Pictures’ identifies the following 35 oil paintings: Title Date Bota Fogo, Rio Janiero 20 March 1838 Brush at Illawarra 26 May 1838 Oropena, Tahiti 31 May 1838 Salcombe Castle 2 May 1839 Govets Leap 23 May 1839 View of New Government House 28 Oct. 1841 Sydney from St Leonards 14 Nov. 1841 View from Rose Bay 30 Nov. 1841 View of Old Government House 21 Jany. 1842 Government Stables 31 Jany.
