Johann Joseph Eugene von Gurard (1811Ð1901) was an Austrian-born artist, active in Australia and New Zealand from 1852 until 1882. Known for his finely detailed landscapes in the tradition of the Dsseldorf school of painting, he is represented in Australia's major public galleries, and is recognized as one of Australia's greatest nineteenth-century landscape painters. By the early 1860s von Guerard was recognised as the foremost landscape artist in the colonies, touring Southeast Australia and New Zealand in pursuit of the sublime and the picturesque. He is most known for the wilderness paintings produced during this time, which are remarkable for their shadowy lighting and fastidious detail. The scientific accuracy of such work has led to a reassessment of von Guerard's approach to wilderness painting, and some historians believe it likely that the landscapist was strongly influenced by the environmental theories of the leading scientist Alexander von Humboldt. He was one of a number of influential German-speaking residents who brought their "epistemic traditions" to Australia, and not only became "deeply entangled with the Australian colonial project", but also were "intricately involved in imagining, knowing and shaping colonial Australia" Fine.

Baillière, 1853 ; 2 vol. in-8 (chacun en deux parties, à pagination continue), 480 pp., 2 planches dépl. et 480 pp., 4 planches dépl., demi-basane moderne, dos lisses ornés de filets dorés, tranches jaunes, quelques rousseurs, très bon état. Les Annales d'Hygiène Publique et de Médecine Légale constituent la première revue française consacrée d'une part à l'hygiène publique et à la médecine environnementale avant la lettre, et d'autre part à la médecine légale et à la toxicologie. Elle renferme aussi des articles de psychiatrie ayant des rapports avec l'hygiène ou la médecine légale. Cette revue, qui rassemble les plus grands spécialistes de l'époque est remarquable pour le caractère novateur de nombreux articles et aussi pour la longueur considérable et tout à fait inhabituelle de certains d'entre eux (qualifiés de mémoires et réalisant de véritables monographies (Cf. N. Krieger, Epidemiology and the people's health,p. 78 :"one of the world's first public health journals" ; A. La Berge, The early nineteenth century French public health movement, p. 48 ; B.P. Lécuyer, L'hygiène en France avant Pasteur, In : C. Salomon-Bayet, Pasteur et la révolution pastorienne, pp. 102-113 ; Nemec, Highlights in medicolegal relations, 378). Nous relevons en particulier dans ces 2 volumes (correspondant à la totalité de l'année 1853) les articles et mémoires suivants : Alph. GUERARD, Mémoire sur la prison cellulaire de Mazas [à Paris] (T. 49, pp. 5-68, 1 pl.) ; VERNOIS & BECQUEREL, Recherches sur le lait, T. 49, pp. 257-322 et T. 50, pp. 43-147 ; Adolphe TOULMOUCHE, Considérations médico-légales sur deux cas assez rares d'aberration mentale, T. 50, pp. 424-449 (cf. article J.

Print. Plate XV from Eugene von Guérard's Australian Landscapes 1866-68. American Creek, Mt. Kembla. Trees pictured include cabbage trees, bangalow palms and flame trees. Timbermen are working in the foreground to fell the huge trees. Von Guerard describes the scene thus: This sylvan scene is situated at a distance of little more than ten miles from Wollongong, near the junction of a little stream upon which some prosaic devotee of the bottle has bestowed the dishonouring appellation of the Brandy and Water Creek, with the American Creek, and at the foot of a noble range of mountains. With the lofty bangalow palm, the cabbage palm, the gigantic wild fig-tree, the fire tree (otherwise known as the blaze tree) with its vividly scarlet blossoms, are intermingled the nettle tree, the rose-wood, the sassafras, the white-wood, the wild rose, numerous varieties of the fern tree, and parasites innumerable the whole being woven together into one dense and almost impenetrable mass of foliage. Unfortunately the progress of settlement is necessitating the destruction of some of these magnificent forests, which in many instances clothe a rich chocolate soil of especial value to the farmer. At the time this view was sketched, numerous fires had been kindled by the wood-cutters, and the stately giants were rapidly falling before the pitiless axe of the hardy pioneers of civilization.

Print. Zustand: Very good overall. From Eugene von Guérard's Australian Landscapes 1866-68. Von Guerard is said to have painted the work "at the entrance to Dobson's Gully in the Dandenong's'. The area was the location where Thomas Dobson made his home and established a timber camp. He called it 'Lightwood Gully', the original name for Ferntree Gully. "His remarkable image of a fern-tree gully in the Dandenong Ranges, some 40 kilometres east of Melbourne, conveys a sense of the landscape as a spiritual sanctuary. Painted on return to the artist's Melbourne studio, Ferntree Gully in the Dandenong Ranges is a work that combines von Guerard's meticulous observation of local plant species with his artiistic interest in compositional arrangement and the creation of a 'mood' particular to this environment. In this case we are privy to the magical world of a bower - an enclosed gully of natural foliage created by towering tree ferns. A pool of light on the forest floor leads us to two male lyrebirds cast in shadow, one withits characteristic tail feathers raised.: Tiom Bonyhady, Australian Colonial Paintings in the Australian National Gallery, Canberra; Australian National Gallery, 1986, p. 171.

On the evening of 12 September 1871 the colonial artist Eugene von Guérard and his wife Louise were passengers on a train which was involved in a collision as it was returning to Flinders Street from Prahran. Ironically, the accident took place only a short distance from their residence in East Melbourne. The injuries both sustained were deemed significant enough to warrant an out-of-court settlement with the Melbourne & Hobsons Bay United Railway Company for £200 in compensation - a very substantial sum of money. The legal document offered here is a deed of release (probably one of two copies) prepared by the Railway Company's solicitors, Malleson England & Stewart; by signing it, the von Guérards absolved the Company of any further liability and acknowledged receipt of its compensation payout. The deed is signed in full, twice, by both of the von Guérards. Folio bifolium, 385 x 240 mm, manuscript in clerical hand on watermarked wove paper (occupying the first side only); folding to 240 x 100 mm, the front endorsed: 'Release.

Received on the day and year first before written of and from the said Melbourne and Hobsons Bay United Railway Company the sum of two hundred pounds being the consideration money before expressed . [full signatures of 'Eugene von Guérard' and 'Louise vonGuérard]. An account of the train accident was published in The Argus the following day, 13 September 1871: 'A very serious accident happened lastnight about a quarter past 10 o'clock on theMelbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway. Fromwhat can be gathered (for the railway officialsrefuse to give the slightest information), itseems that the 10 o'clocktrainfrom Windsorwas waiting at the usual place, opposite thebottom of Spring-street, for the signal toproceed, when an unattached engine, drivenby a man named Duncan M'Farland, reputedto be a cautious driver, came up behind atfull speed, and ran into the stationary train.The last carriage was a first-class one, full ofpassengers, and so great was the force of thecollision that the carriage was smashed up,the glass windows being shattered, and thedoors broken open, some of them overlapping by nearly six inches. The persons in the carriage were thrown violentlyall in a heap, and many of them sustainedvery serious injuries. Among the occupantsof the carriage were several ladies, who,besides being injured by the concussion, werenearly all in hysterics from extreme fear whenthetrainarrived at the station. The secondcarriage from the end was the smoking-carriage, which was also greatly shattered.There were not many persons in thiscarriage, but one of them, a Volunteer, isreported to have suffered greatly from injuryto the spine. The occupants of the othercarriages were also much shaken, but generallyin a less degree than those in the last twocarriages. The cause of tho collision is atpresent unknown, though it is generally believed to have occurred through there beingno danger light or tail lamp at the end of thetrain.Several persons who were in thetrainstate it as their opinion that thestoppage at tho east side of Swanston-streetlasted fully 10 minutes before the collision occurred. In any case, the occurrence of such an accident in close proximityto the principal station, and with sofew trainsrunning, would indicate grossnegligence on the part of the engine-drivers,or a very defective system of signalling.Most of the injured persons were removed totheir houses, and thus we are unable to giveanything like a full account of the extent ofthe damage done. Only one person, Mrs.Jane Lake, was taken to the hospital, whereit was found that she was suffering from asevere contusion on the left foot, occasionedby being thrown against the seat opposite tothat she was sitting on. Her injuries wereattended to, and she was sent home afterrecovering from the effects of the shakingshe had received. Mr. England, brother ofMr. E. England, of the firm of Malleson,England, and Stewart, was in the last carriage, and was so much injured that it wasa c.
