The Art Gallery of South Australia has lately put online a few more artworks by colonial artist George French Angas.

"Extinct Crater, Mount Gambier, 6th May 1844" is one I'd written about (from a book image in B&W). Seeing it in colour supports my contention that "Blue Lake" is by Gill not Angas (and it is not Blue Lake).

This morning I came across this 1840s watercolour of Government House, Adelaide in the State Library SA collection. It's attributed to Governor George Gawler as the artist, but I think it's actually by S T Gill and it's nearly identical to another Gill held by Art Gallery SA.
