"Homeward Bound" is a notable plate from the "Australian Sketchbook" by Samuel Thomas Gill, an influential figure in Australian colonial art. Published in 1865, the "Australian Sketchbook" is a collection of lithographs that capture the essence of life in Australia during the mid-19th century. Samuel Thomas Gill, often referred to as S.T. Gill, was a prolific artist whose works provide a vivid portrayal of the Australian landscape and its inhabitants during the gold rush era.

"Homeward Bound" depicts a scene that resonates with the themes of exploration, settlement, and the arduous journey of returning home after a day’s labor. The image typically features a group of weary travelers or settlers making their way back, often through rugged terrain, which underscores the challenges faced by those who ventured into the Australian outback. The composition of the plate is marked by Gill's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the Australian bush, with its unique flora and fauna.

Gill's work is characterized by its narrative quality and his ability to capture the spirit of the times. "Homeward Bound" is no exception, as it reflects the optimism and determination of the settlers, as well as the harsh realities of their daily lives. The plate is not just a visual representation but also a historical document that offers insights into the experiences of early Australians.

The "Australian Sketchbook" as a whole, and "Homeward Bound" in particular, are significant for their contribution to the visual history of Australia. They provide contemporary audiences with a window into the past, illustrating the landscapes and lifestyles that shaped the nation. Gill's work remains an important part of Australia's cultural heritage, celebrated for its artistic merit and historical value.
