'Extreme point at the junction of the Murray with Lake Alexandrina Victoria'
Watercolour painting by colonial artist John Michael Skipper. A note on the reverse reads 'Extreme point at the junction of the Murray with Lake Alexandrina Victoria / the Lake in the distance / Expedition going up the river December 1839'. Signed 'J.M.S., 1840'. A wooden boat, with furled sails is drawn up to the river's edge, with four men of the party standing beside it. One is holding a horse, while a fifth man is mounted on another; a sailor is bundling the sails. Immediately beside the exploration party are two Aborigines seated beside a smoking fire. Two of the ladies who accompanied the expedition, probably Julia Gawler and Charlotte Sturt, can been seen on the far side of the boat; behind them are some of the Murray River cliffs.
'The Murray just before it falls into the Lake'
Painting of 'The Murray just before it falls into the Lake. A false arm of the river in the foreground'. Following this, in a different hand, are the words '(his handwriting) [referring to Gawler] and also in the same hand 'Sketch by Col. Geo. Gawler. Governor of S. Australia. 1838-1842'. [A note in the series list challenges this: 'Attributed to Governor George Gawler, but probably by J.M. Skipper.'] The artist has painted the scene looking down from a small rise above the Murray River, with a flock of birds in the water, and a small craft with a sail further out. A small group of Aborigines are shown seated around a fire in the foreground.
