• ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
  
  John Skinner Prout, (1805-1876), artist, was born on 19 December 1805 at Plymouth, England. He arrived with his wife and seven children in Sydney on 14 December, 1840. He brought a complete lithographic printing press with him, and in early 1841 he started producing lithographed versions of his drawings of Sydney. In January 1844, Prout moved to Hobart and commenced drawing Hobart and environs for a series of lithographic views. During his time in Australia he went on many sketching trips throughout New South Wales, Tasmania and Victoria, often with the sketching clubs he helped organize.
