"Attack on Store Dray" is an illustration by Samuel Thomas Gill, an English-born Australian artist, featured in his collection "The Australian Sketchbook," published in 1864. This artwork, along with others in the sketchbook, captures scenes of life and landscapes during the Australian gold rush era, a period marked by rapid economic growth and social upheaval due to the discovery of gold in the 1850s.

Gill, commonly known as S.T. Gill, was renowned for his detailed and lively depictions of Australian colonial life. His works are considered significant historical records of the period, offering insights into the experiences of both European settlers and Indigenous Australians. "Attack on Store Dray" specifically illustrates a dramatic scene likely encountered by travelers and miners during the gold rush, where the transportation of supplies and valuable goods was a hazardous endeavor due to the threat of bushrangers and hostile encounters.

The sketchbook, consisting of lithographs based on Gill's original drawings, was well-received for its authenticity and artistic merit. It contributed to Gill's reputation as one of the foremost visual chroniclers of Australian colonial history. "Attack on Store Dray," as part of this collection, is an important cultural artifact that not only showcases Gill's artistic skill but also serves as a visual document of the challenges and perils faced during a transformative period in Australia's development.
