Biography
painter, elder daughter of the Rev. Philip Palmer (1799-1853), curate at Langdon Hill, Essex, and Harriet née Owen, came to Van Diemen’s Land with her parents and sister on board the Warrior , arriving at Hobart Town on 26 June 1833. She painted a large oil portrait of her father when he was rural dean of Van Diemen’s Land and an oil view of Trinity Parsonage in Davenport Street, Hobart. The member of the Palmer family who donated these to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in 1965 said they were painted when Miss Palmer was living at the parsonage. The architectural drawing is naive and although the portrait is more sophisticated it seems to have been painted over a photographic base. This entry is a stub.
