Légende

Reception of the New Governor (Kennedy) of Western Australia, 1856. 'Western Australia has recently received an accession of strength and vigour in the person of Governor Kennedy, so well known by his activity and humanity in exposing the maladministration of the Poor-law in the Kilrush Union during the famine in Ireland, and whose able and energetic administration of the Government of Sierra Leone has been highly appreciated. We have engraved the scene of the reception given to the new Governor on his landing in November last...The population of Western Australia numbers about 12,000, not including the aborigines'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
