Lot Description:Artist Unknown,
Phillip Island
watercolour
25.5 x 43.5cm
titled, initialled “EEG” and dated “1897” lower left -
Notes:In original mount and frame which bears the stamp of the framer, W.J. Tiller, Melbourne. Tiller had won a Diploma of Merit for his frame mouldings at the 1885 Jubilee Exhibition, and exhibited his frames, mirrors and mouldings at the 1888 Melbourne Exhibition. Phillip Island, about 125 km southeast of Melbourne, is named after Governor Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales. The earliest inhabitants of the area were the Yalloc Bulluk clan of the Bunurong people. In the Bunwurrung language the island is known as “corriong” or “millow”. Their coastal territory with its sheltered bays meant that the Yalloc Bulluk, along with other Bunurong clans, were among the first Aboriginal people in Victoria to have contact with European mariners, about a century before this painting was made.
