Scope & Content:

CHEVALIER, NICHOLAS (1828-1902)

Engraver and painter of landscapes and topical and historical scenes. Born at St. Petersburg, the son of a Swiss father and Russian mother, Chevalier went to Lausanne in 1845 to study with Guignard. In 1848 he moved to Munich and in 1851 came to London. Soon after, he went to Italy for two years, where he studied architecture. In 1854 he went to Melbourne in Australia where he helped produce the first Australian illustrated paper, the ‘Melbourne Punch.’ He also helped to found a picture gallery in Melbourne before going on to New Zealand. Between 1867 and 1870 he accompanied the Duke of Edinburgh as official painter on a voyage round the world. The following sketches of scenes in India and Ceylon, all in similar style and many signed and dated, were presumably made on this voyage. During the eighteen-seventies and eighties he exhibited at the Royal Academy several pictures based on this material.
