  1. Panoramic View of King George's Sound, Part of the Colony of Swan River

    Panoramic View of King George s Sound, Part of the Colony of Swan River is a Panorama panoramic hand coloured Printmaking print published in 1834 by Robert Havell , based on sketches by Robert Dale . wide image Panoramic view of King Georges Sound composite .jpg 2200px Background Robert Dale was an ensign in the 63rd Regiment of Foot , which was posted to Western Australia in 1829. He was assigned to the Surveyor General s department, and thus spent his four years in the colony exploring and surveying. He was the first European to cross the Darling Range , and was thus the discoverer of the fertile Avon River Western Australia Avon Valley . The Panoramic View of King George s Sound originated with sketches made by Dale from the summit of Mount Clarence . As an experienced topographic surveyor and cartographer with military training in field sketching, Dale s sketches were a highly accurate and effective representation of the scene. In 1833, Dale returned to London. Shortly afterwards he completed his sketches, and engaged publisher Robert Havell to have them made into a panorama. A prospectus was advertised, in which the project was dedicated to the Royal Geographical Society . As it was Havell who arranged for the sketches to be etched, printed and hand coloured, he is sometimes erroneously credited as the author. The print The panorama is 19 centimetres high and 274.2 centimetres long. It was printed in eight distinct panels, then hand coloured, and the panels joined. The print presents a view from the summit of Mount Clarence . In the foreground is illustrated the granite outcrops characteristic of the geology of the region, and the distinctive plant genera, including Banksia , Zamia , Xanthorrhoea , Kingia and Nuytsia genus Nuytsia .
