Administrative / Biographical Note
Eugene von Guerard was born in Austria in 1811, son of the court painter to the Emperor Francis I. He studied in the Düsseldorf Academy and travelled in Germany and Italy before arriving in Melbourne in 1853. He soon made his way to the Ballarat gold fields, where he did a number of sketches, and later travelled in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania.

In 1870 he was appointed Curator of the National Gallery of Victoria and Principle of its Art School, where he remained until his retirement in 1881. He then returned to Europe and died in London in 1901. He was highly regarded as a landscape artist and painted a number of commissions in Victoria. His topographical style is very detailed and precise.

Contents
The sketchbooks cover von Guerard’s twenty-eight years in Australia and also the period of his early travels in the Rhineland and Italy and his return to Europe after 1881, that is virtually his whole painting career. The drawings range from pencil sketches to detailed pen and ink or pencil drawings, a few with colour or wash added. The sketchbooks contain general views as well as detailed sketches of specific places and subjects.

Von Guerard accompanied A.W. Howitt on a scientific expedition and Professor Neumayer, the meteorologist, on another. There are sketches of both these expeditions, as well as studies of Aborigines, Chinese in Melbourne, homesteads, huts, and scenes in Sydney, Parramatta, Wollongong and the Shoalhaven district, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania. Nearly all of the sketches are dated and titled and there are some added notes in German.
