History

The magazine was published by George Collingridge and Co., on the north shore of Sydney, New South Wales. [4] [6] It was the first Australian journal devoted to art. [7] Originally the magazine planned at least twelve months of issues, [3] however it appears that only three issues were published in January, February, and March 1888. [8]

Some of the articles included in the three issues discussed Australian decorative art, [2] essays on colour [9] and the fine arts in Australia [10] and Exhibitions of the Art Society of New South Wales. [3] The March 1888 issue of the magazine was criticised by The Sydney Mail and New South Wales Advertiser as having very little to do with Australian art and including too many illustrations from foreign subjects. [11]
