True Light and Shade is filled with beautiful images by convict artist Joseph Lycett that powerfully capture in intimate detail Aboriginal life, a
rare record of Aboriginal people within the vicinity of Newcastle and how they adapted to European settlement before cultural destruction impacted on
these groups.
As a Worimi man from the Newcastle/Port Stephens region, John Maynard brings his own knowledge and insight to his exploration of the drawings, and to
the fascinating character of Lycett himself.
For your chance to win a copy of True Light and Shade, simply answer the following:
In which year did the National Library purchase Lycett's bound album Drawings of the Natives and Scenery of Van Diemens Land 1830, which contains 20
of Lycett's watercolours?
