ABSTRACT In the early nineteenth century London society had the opportunity to view large panoramas of the Australasian settlements of Sydney (1828–30), Hobart Town (1831), and the Bay of Islands, New Zealand (1837–39). These were based upon the drawings and information supplied by the travelling artist Augustus Earle, who had circumnavigated the world between 1818 and 1830. Each show was accompanied by an illustrated commentary indicating natural resources, the state of development, and representative people. Fortifications, penal institutions, industries, shipping, government, churches and missionaries, colonists, and indigenous people were illustrated and described. Each panorama presented a layered society which connected to complex networks extending across the globe. Despite these shows’ shared colonial status and common geographical location, there were significant differences between their respective compositions that aligned with their specific contexts. Each presented narratives that were developed to satisfy attendees’ fascinations, community leaders’ aspirations, and the political and economic imperatives driving future development. Examination of the composition and reception of the panoramas provides insight into prevailing attitudes towards empire, criminality, and race. Finally, Earle’s contribution to the panoramas is found to be substantial, establishing their significance within his oeuvre.

摘要 在 19 世纪早期，伦敦社会有机会看到悉尼（1828-30 年）、霍巴特镇（1831 年）和新西兰岛屿湾（1837-39 年）的澳大利亚定居点的大全景。这些作品基于旅行艺术家奥古斯都·厄尔 (Augustus Earle) 提供的图画和信息，他在 1818 年至 1830 年间环游世界。每场展览都附有说明自然资源、发展状况和代表性人物的插图评论。防御工事、刑罚机构、工业、航运、政府、教堂和传教士、殖民者和土著人民都得到了插图和描述。每张全景图都呈现了一个分层的社会，该社会与遍布全球的复杂网络相连。尽管这些节目具有共同的殖民地位和共同的地理位置，但它们各自的构成与特定背景相一致的显着差异。每个人都提出了为满足与会者的兴趣、社区领袖的愿望以及推动未来发展的政治和经济需求而开发的叙述。对全景图的构成和接受程度的检查可以洞察人们对帝国、犯罪和种族的普遍态度。最后，人们发现厄尔对全景图的贡献是巨大的，在他的作品中确立了它们的重要性。社区领袖的愿望，以及推动未来发展的政治和经济需要。对全景图的构成和接受程度的检查可以洞察人们对帝国、犯罪和种族的普遍态度。最后，人们发现厄尔对全景图的贡献是巨大的，在他的作品中确立了它们的重要性。社区领袖的愿望，以及推动未来发展的政治和经济需要。对全景图的构成和接受程度的检查可以洞察人们对帝国、犯罪和种族的普遍态度。最后，人们发现厄尔对全景图的贡献是巨大的，在他的作品中确立了它们的重要性。
