PERR00902 Framed Etching - 'The Birthplace of Melbourne - Cornwall Hotel, Launceston - 6/50'
Part 1 of 2

Etching depicts an old building amid roof-lines and an overhanging tree. The artist's signature is difficult to read, and may read Grant Most.

The caption for this etching reads 'It was at the Cornwall Hotel, Launceston, that the meeting at which it was decided to colonise Port Philip, was held. Fawkner left shortly after and founded the settlement from which Melbourne has grown. This is part of the original building, said to be 111 years old'. This caption is extant in Inventory Item PERR00903, which is Part 2 of this file, and which is also listed in this series.

It appears that Nancye Kent Perry may have received this artwork as a school prize when she was a student at Abbotsleigh School. A school prize, largely illegible due to the paper having deteriorated, was originally housed in the sleeve attached to the reverse of this artwork. This award is extant in Inventory Item PERR00903, which is Part 2 of this file, and which is also listed in this series.

Etching with wash effect, in a glass frame. Dimensions 34.4cm x 34.4cm.
