1847


1847

Horace Samson was the draftsman for the Lands Department, and this picture by him is dated 1847.

Of a later lithograph, the Perth gazette, and independent journal of politics and news, 15 October 1852, p.4a describes the print: "We have been favored with a sight of a Lithographic sketch of Perth, taken by Mr Horace Samson, our Colonial Draughtsman, from the top of Mount Eliza, which gives a much more faithful representation of our capital than any attempt we have hitherto seen. We hope that a sufficient number of copies will be issued for the purpose of gratifying parties out of as well as in the colony, for we should be sorry that this work of art should not have a circulation, as alike affording an accurate view of the chief town of our province, and reflecting great credit upon the artist and lithographic printer."

Philatelists will be interested to know that Horace Samson was also responsible for the lithographic design of one of the State's first stamp issues, the 4D 1855 Black Swan, famous for containing the world's first invert error (technically a "frame invert").

When I was on a business trip, I passed by a replica rolex store, went in and tried replique montre rolex Ghost King and Rolex Black Ghost, and felt that Ghost King was more suitable for me. An important reason is that I am a person who likes to be different. There are too many Rolex Water Ghost GMT around. Although I watched Rolex aaa replica uhren following the trend, I still wanted to struggle not to follow the trend and choose uncommon ones.
