Susanna de Vries (nee Evans) has been a collector and restorer of antiquarian prints and drawings ever since she attended a cataloguing and restoration course held in London, under the auspices of the Victoria and Albert Museum. On her arrival in Brisbane in 1975, she was fascinated by Brisbane's early Colonial architecture and her training in librarianship provided valuable assistance in discovering the whereabouts, in Australia and overseas, of the paintings of Brisbane's architectural heritage. Research into the lives of the artists behind these works - many previously unknown - took over three years and involved the examination of art collections in Queensland, New South Wales, Great Britain and Canada. This unique and informative book has been long awaited by collectors and those interested in early Australian paintings as well as the historic and architectural development of Brisbane.
