The Ballad of George Barrington - Matthias Mayer & Alexander Rischer

The Ballad of George Barrington is a travel- and research project about the life of the notorious pickpocket whose career brought him from the aristocratic circles in late 18th century London to Australia, where he became chief of police in Paramatta. The book will be an essential component of this artistic research project, featuring amongst other findings, original transcripts of the court cases against Barrington, that will be published for the first time.
