In 1854, Sydney publisher John Sands commissioned a series of sketches from Terry to capitalise on the emergent market for view books. Terry submitted 39 sketches to be engraved in London, however, due to the geographical distance between publisher and engraver, the plates were attributed to 'Fleury'. The album, consisting of 38 of the 39 plates, was published under the title 'The Australian Keepsake', and sold for 25 shillings. It was considered a work of genius by The Sydney Morning Herald.
