This 1847 watercolour of Port #Adelaide (North Parade) seems not quite finished (especially the building arrowed). See the pencil lines? I'll explain why in a new article later this week. #S_T_Gill

I took a necessary side-track from my project scope (S.T. Gill's 1840-1852 works) in support of understanding the above portraits. Here are (often referenced) 1860s retrospectives of the 1846 Horrocks expedition. Knowing their (late) date helps understand how "historically reliable" they are.
