Notes: Angas was the first artist to reach the Ophir Goldfields near Bathurst on the otehr side of the Blue Mountains from Sydney.
He drew scenes of life in the fields that were transfered into lithographs by Woolcott and Clarke of Greorge St Sydney.
The series of lithographs gained popularity and Angas sent them to London to be reproduced by Hullmandel and Walton in 1852 to be titled ‘Views of The Gold Regions of Australia- drawn on the spot by G.F Angas’
