Containing
87 watercolours, Marrianne Collinson Campbells
album Wild flowers, fruit and butterflies of
Australia has now been digitised. The album
was acquired by the National Library of Australia
in 2005 and is a beautiful example of the way
in which nineteenth century Australian women
painted as a pastime. It provides an insight
into the life of a member of the Campbell family
who were early settlers in the Canberra region.
Many of the botanical species depicted have
been identified by ANPS member Barrie Hadlow.
