Lachlan Macquarie and the Macquarie family aggregated collection of papers, pictorial and other material, 1787-1844

These engravings were made in Australia under the direction of Captain James Wallis, of the 46th Regiment. They were first advertised in the Sydney Gazette of 9 January 1819 as a "Series of original Views of New South Wales". When Wallis returned to England in February 1819 he took the plates with him, where the set was published in London in September 1820 as "Australian Views" (without a letterpress) & in 1821 as "An historical account of the colony of New South Wales.." (with a letterpress) by R. Ackermann. These English sets can be distinguished by Ackermann's imprint which was engraved at the bottom of each plate. 
This set of engravings appears to have been printed entirely in Australia, and were probably given to the Macquaries by Wallis. PXD 373/15 is inscribed to Mrs Macquarie and is dated December 1817. This set includes an early state (before letters) of "View of Hunters River.." (PXD 373/10) and a small view of Newcastle "View of Newcastle." (PXD 373/19 & 20), which was not used in the London edition (another copy of this plate is at MRB/F981/W copy 2 : ML Printed Books collection).
