Full title: A Faithful Picture: The Letters of Eliza and Thomas Brown at York in the Swan River Colony, 1841-1852 by Eliza Brown with an Introduction by Alexandra Hasluck and edited by Peter Cowan
These letters form a valuable addition to the early accounts of the Swan River Colony, describing conditions in the second decade of the colony. They were written mainly by Eliza Brown to her father William Bussey of Oxfordshire, a gentleman of considerable means. The letters are outstanding in their description of the new colony.
