Augustus Earle Exhibition : Tristan da Cunha Save
Earle was stranded there in March 1824 when his ship, the Duke of Gloucester, inexplicably set sail without him. (Many of his South American watercolours presumably disappeared at that time as well.) It was fortunate that Earle had taken painting equipment ashore and was able to occupy himself recording his impressions of the island until his supplies ran out. He subsequently described the eight-month ordeal in a letter to a Hobart newspaper and published a lengthier account after his arrival back in England.
