The Great Exhibition by J. McNeven, 1851, signaled the outrageous self-confidence of the 1850s. (Victoria and Albert Museum, London)

Tea and Damper by Alfred Martin Ebsworth, 1883. The rough, tough bearded world of the frontier: gold-seekers prepare food in Victoria in 1851–1852. The clothes, beards, and demeanor were typical of pioneers across the West’s many settler frontiers. All that is missing here are the ubiquitous revolvers, rifles, and bowie knives. (State Library of Victoria)

Coleman’s clipper line announcing the departure of the David Crockett. (Mystic Seaport, Sailing Card Collection)
