William Strutt’s Victoria the Golden
About
Victoria’s Parliamentary Library is the second oldest library in Victoria. The highlight of the Library’s rare book collection is William Strutt’s illustrated album Victoria the Golden. Strutt arrived in Melbourne in 1850 and captured key events in the embryonic colony, from the goldrush to the departure of the Burke and Wills expedition. In later years in England, he compiled his skilful sketches into albums, aware of their historical importance. Join Alisa Bunbury, art historian and curator, to learn about Strutt and his years in Victoria, followed by a rare viewing of the album, alongside other Strutt material held in the Library’s collection.Date
