Henry M. Burn, 1807?-1884, Britain, Australia.

Born in Birmingham, as a young artist Henry Burn travelled extensively, completing many scenic views of English towns. At the age of forty-three he boarded the ship Baltimore which departed from Liverpool on 16 October 1852 and arrived in Melbourne on 30 January 1853. He later married Susan Crane, who was one of his fellow passengers aboard the Baltimore. Relatively little is known about Burn although records show that he exhibited with the Victorian Society of Fine Arts. Burn was a topographical artist whose watercolours of colonial Melbourne and its suburbs are now of significant historical interest.
