Frederick Strange (c. 1807–1873) was an English house-painter and portraitist who was transported to the colony of Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) in January 1838 for the crime of stealing a watch. He moved between Hobart and Launceston and was pardoned in 1848. In 1851 he exhibited views of the area around Launceston at the Launceston Art Exhibition.[1]
