George French Angas

George French Angas was born at Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1822, and studied lithography and anatomical drawing. He accompanied Sir George Grey to Australia in 1843, and proceeded thence to New Zealand, where he sketched and explored in the inland districts of both islands. Upon his return to England in 1846, he published The New Zealanders Illustrated and South Australia Illustrated. His work is an extremely valuable record of early native life in New Zealand. He died in 1886.
