- The European March.. Sydney. J. R. Clarke, George Strt. Allan & Wigley. Lith Printers. n.d. Ca.1856/7. 5pp. This sheet has been professionally cleaned, some residual marks on the LH side, but the illustration is completely unmarked. Overall condition very good. Beautiful chromolithograph on the cover, of Sydney Harbour with 3 sailing vessels in view, one a steamship, probably the European, which arrived on February 15th, 1857. A figure is seated in the foreground sketching the harbour scene. The artist was Edmund Thomas, painter, lithographer and photographer, who arrived in Port Phillip in 1852. He illustrated a number of music sheet covers, at least two of which were also by Boulanger. Edouard Boulanger, a notable visiting pianist, assisted W. Paling at concerts in 1855, and performed at Sydney Philharmonic Society concerts. .
