Art & Heritage Collections

Members of the public can support the University of Adelaide's cultural collections by purchasing a beautifully packaged folio of eight gift cards specially produced by the Friends of the University of Adelaide Library and Art & Heritage Collections.

The cards feature four illustrations from George French Angas's South Australia Illustrated. Angas painted some of the earliest views of South Australia, and in 1847 he oversaw the printing in London of the magnificent South Australia Illustrated, which has served ever since as a snapshot of South Australia in 1844.

This work is part of the Sir Samuel Way Bequest - the largest single contribution of books to the University of Adelaide Library.

The gift packs sell for $20 (GST inclusive). For more information, contact Art & Heritage Collections on +61 8 8303 3086, art.heritage@adelaide.edu.au or email the University of Adelaide Library: library@adelaide.edu.au
