Echunga
Photographic copy of sketch by George Gawler of John Barton Hack's farm. Note: copies may be requested from the Art Gallery. According to a researcher, this is not a copy of Gawler's sketch. It is a copy of the lithograph made after Gawler's sketch and published by James Chaplin Hailes (1796-1880), bookseller of Leadenhall Street in the City of London and printed and hand-coloured by J. Hitchin or Hitchen, actually John Bishop Hitchins (1799-1879), artist of Penton Place, Newington St Mary, Surrey (by 1846 of 77 Vauxhall Street, Lambeth). Gawler painted the watercolour in June 1841 so the lithograph must have been produced soon after his return to England in early 1842.
