Details: Article printed in the Newcastle Morning Herald commemmorating the Jubilee - In the possession of Mr. T. Wrighton of Waratah, is one of the earliest historical accounts of NSW published, and certainly one of the most interesting and valuable of all such productions. The title page states that the letter press was written in illustration of twelve views drawn by Captain James Wallis of the 46th regiment and engraved by W. Preston, a convict. There is also an accurate map of Port Macquarie and the (then) newly discovered River Hastings by J. Oxley Esq., Surveyor General to the Territory. The engravings were finely executed, and the prints and letter press are in an excellent state of preservation. When Preston undertook to engrave the drawings there was not in the whole colony a single plate of copper fit for the work and so he was forced to be content with the common sheet copper which was employed for coppering the bottoms of ships. There are two views of Newcastle......

Details: Walter Preston, engraver and convict, came to New South Wales aboard the Guildford in 1812. Convicted of highway robbery at the Old Bailey in 1811, he was sentenced to death, but this was commuted to transportation for life. On arriving in Sydney, he was assigned to the service of Absalom West, an ex-convict brewer and printer for whom Preston and another convict printmaker, Philip Slaeger, engraved the plates for Views of New South Wales, published by West in 1813 and 1814. Preston re-offended again and in early 1814 was sent to the penal settlement at Newcastle. In company with a convict named Francis Purcell, Preston absconded from Newcastle later that year, but was recaptured and returned to the settlement. Following James Walliss appointment to the command at Newcastle in June 1816, he commissioned Preston to produce a series of twelve engravings later published in Walliss An Historical Account of the Colony of New South Wales.
