Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Stock certificate of the Bank of Australia for £100, issued on 1 July 1833, printed on parchment. As directors, personalities of Australia's founding era signed this paper with their own hands: Co-founder of the bank and lawyer Alexander Brodie Spark (1792-1856); director of important Sydney companies, merchant and land agent Thomas Shadforth (1797-1862); merchant, director of numerous companies and promoter of steam navigation John Edye Manning (1807-1889); lawyer and politician James Northon (1795-1862). The share is issued to former soldier Thomas de la Condamine (1797 - 1873), after whom the Condamine River was named in 1827. He was a former aide-de-camp to Governor Ralph Darling who became the colony's first Collector of Internal Revenue. In 1843 he lost his fortune in the financial collapse of 1843 as a shareholder in the Bank of Australia.
