Charles Joseph La Trobe - Landscapes And Sketches
Introduced by Dianne Reilly
Notes by Victoria Hammond
Published by State Library Victoria & Tarcoola Press: Yarra Glen 1999
Includes Slipcase With Pictorial Window

"Charles Joseph La Trobe - Landscapes and Sketches, introduced by Dianne Reilly with notes by Victoria Hammond and published jointly by the State Library Victoria and Tarcoola Press in 1999, is a beautifully presented volume celebrating the artistic and historical legacy of Victoria's first Lieutenant-Governor. The book reproduces La Trobe's delicate watercolours and drawings made during his travels through Europe, the Caribbean, and colonial Australia, offering an intimate visual record of landscapes that profoundly shaped his worldview. Accompanied by insightful commentary, the volume highlights his sensitivity to natural beauty and his talent for capturing the character of distant places with precision and grace.

Reilly's introduction provides a scholarly yet accessible overview of La Trobe's life and achievements, situating his art within the broader narrative of early colonial exploration and administration. Hammond's detailed notes guide readers through each image, elucidating the historical and geographical context behind the scenes depicted. Together, they reveal La Trobe not only as a statesman but as an artist of considerable refinement—one whose visual records document both the promise and transformation of nineteenth-century Victoria.

Printed on fine art paper and housed in an elegant slipcase with a pictorial window, this edition stands as both a work of art and an important cultural document. It embodies the union of history, art, and colonial heritage, making it a treasured volume for collectors of Australiana, historians of early Melbourne, and admirers of watercolour landscape art from the colonial period.
