HOME OF THE LADY DENMAN - Local history isn't always about the big story - the everyday story of life in the early development of the region can be a fascinating, entertaining and educational journey.

Samuel Elyard.


Susan Capel, art dealer and restorer from Sydney, sent us two images by Samuel Elyard depicting scenes of the Shoalhaven. One is a beautiful image of the Cape St George Lighthouse located in the Booderie National Park on the south side of Jervis Bay. The lighthouse was a favourite subject for Elyard, he made the long rough journey by horseback and buggy to the lighthouse on many occasions. The museum has several in its collection. The other is an unidentified homestead in the Shoalhaven.

Continue reading about Samuel Elyard, a prolific painter and photographer who lived in the Shoalhaven in the 19th century. You will also find some interesting comparison photograph I have done of his original paintings compared to the actual scene today...
