The coat of arms: the colonist

PHOTOGRAPH DETAILS

DescriptionThe figure represents a colonist. In February, 1792 grants of land were made to ex-convicts in the vicinity of the modern day Ryde Bridge. They included William Careless and James Weavers. These grants were referred to as the Eastern Farms grants.

Placing the figures of the marine and settler on either side of the shield represents the pioneers at the Field of Mars on the west and at Eastern Farms or Kissing Point on the east.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

NotesPlease note that this image has been digitally re-worked so that the right arm of the colonist is by his side, rather than being in mid-air as it was in the original, on top of the shield.
