William Strutt’s Victoria the Golden: Sketches of Early MelbournePresented by: Parliament of Victoria

Strutt arrived in Melbourne in 1850 and captured key events in the colony, from the goldrush to the departure of the Burke and Wills expedition. Later, in England, he compiled his sketches into albums, aware of their historical importance.
