C917-0050 Newcastle Coal Fields, New South Wales, 1865
This image was scanned from a slide of a coloured wood engraving entitled "Newcastle Coal Fields, New South Wales" [1865] engraved by Walter Hart, presumably from an original painting by Oswald Rose Campbell (1820-1887) probably created during the period from 1855-1864 when the artist was living in Sydney, and prior to his return to Melbourne. See: adb.anu.edu.au/biography/campbell-oswald-rose-3157 It was originally published in The Australian News for Home Readers 25 August 1865 page 12: trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/6163138?zoomLevel=1
This image forms part of a research collection of slides compiled by the late Dr John Turner (1933 - 1998), local historian and lecturer. His collection is rich in Australian history and local studies.
The engraving is a view taken from the hill overlooking Darby Street Newcastle. Features in the view include: St John's Anglican Church, (between Darby Street and Dawson Street), directly behind is a train on the Newcastle Coal Company's Railway, (running along Bruce Street and curving towards Dawson Street), a train running along the Australian Agricultural Coal Company's Railway, to the extreme right of the engraving can also be seen a train on the Great Northern Railway. Various buildings can be seen along Darby Street and (probably) Laman Street
We sincerely thank the State Library of Victoria that were able to provide details regarding the original black and white engraving.
