  • Australian Dictionary of Biography (online) 21 September 2020: (George French Angas (1822-1886), naturalist and painter, was born on 25 April 1822 at Newcastle upon Tyne, England. He arrived in Adelaide in January 1844, and travelled round South Australia (with a visit to New Zealand) and made drawings. In July 1845 he reached Sydney. After holding an exhibition and touring he departed for England in September 1845. In London he published several large volumes of his drawings, hand-coloured, with his own text. He visited South Africa; in 1850 he returned to Australia and published illustrations of gold diggings. From 1853 to 1860 he was secretary to the Australian Museum, in Sydney; he returned to South Australia in March 1860, finally departing for London in February 1863. He contributed many papers to the Proceedings of the Zoological Society, especially on Australian shells. He died in London on 4 October 1886. In all his work he pays great attention to accurate depiction of native vegetation. Many of the originals of his published lithographs are in South Australian collections.) http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/angas-george-french-1708
