Abstract
She was, German readers learned in 1823, 'Namen Miss Dalrymple'. French-speakers were informed that she had 'une figure tres-agreable'. Her claim to international fame was, at this time, based purely on her physiology. When this description was first penned she was reportedly the oldest surviving of the children 'produced by an intercourse between the natives and the Europeans' in Van Diemen's Land. Moreover, she was 'the first child born by a native woman to a white man in Van Diemen's Land'. She was 'remarkably handsome', had skin that was 'light copper', 'rosy cheeks, large black eyes' with a touch of blue, good eye lashes, 'uncommonly white' teeth, and limbs which were 'admirably formed', 'wunderschon' even.
