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, which describe conditions in the second decade of the colony, form a valuable addition to the early accounts of the Swan River 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.
