Plate 20: Part of the text accompanying the illustration reads 'About thirty miles to the North and West of Port Lincoln, there is a rich and beautiful country, as yet but little known, having several fine lakes of water, and luxuriant pasture-land scattered with park-like trees; beyond these lakes rise two distinct ranges of lofty and abrupt hills; the Marble range which is shewn in the opposite plate, and the hills known as Albert's Peak, which lie further to the north. Mount Dutton is represented on the left of the engraving, and Mount Greenly nearly in the centre of the picture'.
This is one of 60 coloured lithographs found in the 1847 edition of 'South Australia Illustrated' by colonial artist George French Angas, together with a descriptive passage for each. The lithograph was created by J.W. Giles from Angas' original painting. The date assigned is assumed to be approximately when the lithographs were created; the original paintings were done in earlier years.
