Lycett first issued this view as a lithograph in 1824, but was not satisfied with the result. He reissued it as an aquatint in 1825 (a slightly different version).

24 Attrib. Sir Oswald Walters Brierly (British, 1817-1894) ["Wanderer"], c1840. Pencil drawing with white gouache highlights, 31.7 x 42.6cm. Minor stains to edges. Provenance: Ken Stewart estate. Depicts Ben Boyd's yacht, Wanderer, with its Australian rigging. In 1842 the Wanderer arrived in Australia with the artist Oswald Brierly aboard. Brierly produced a pair of lithographs of the Wanderer before leaving England - one showing English rigging, the other Australian rigging. I believe this drawing is by Brierly and is a study for the latter lithograph. Brierly was a very proficient marine artist and the lithograph is an almost exact copy of this drawing, which contains extra maritime details. |
