| Description : |
First official settlement at Glenelg as drawn by J.M. Skipper. Chiefly remembered as an artist, Skipper's drawings show acute observation and attention to detail. His sketches and paintings of the landscape, the flora, fauna, the Aboriginal people of South Australia, and of the streets, buildings, people, every day life and notable events of Adelaide are of some artistic and great historical interest.
Skipper retired in 1872 and lived on a small pension on his farm at Kent Town. He died 7 December 1883. He was survived by three sons and four daughters; his eldest son, Spencer John (1848-1903), was a journalist and satirist in Adelaide. |
