Abstract
- The article explores how early British settlers in Australia, influenced by cultural biases and commercial considerations, depicted the landscape in an Anglicized manner rather than faithfully representing the unfamiliar terrain. Topics include the impact of settlement on art, the picturesque landscape theory, and the challenges faced by artists in adapting to the new environment.
