Hi guys I can't tell you exactly what was drawn but I do know that "the Sketcher" reported that it put forward a realistic view on 19th centruy life in Australia. There are lots of different pictures on all subjects. The 1880 volume is concerned a lot with the Kelly's and there are a few pictures of the district. The paper was published fortnightly during 1880. Probably best to have a look at the copies first and see if there is anything of interest. As I said, great art work, and Thomas Carrington was also the Artist, not just a writer.
