lithographer and drawing teacher, married James Wood in England in 1828 or early in 1829. They arrived at Hobart Town on 13 June 1829, bringing with them what was claimed at the time to be the first lithographic press in Van Diemen’s Land. James immediately resumed duties with the Supreme Court and the press was advertised as being owned by Eulalie: 'Mrs Wood, in soliciting the attention of the Public to the Lithographic Printing feels persuaded that it will be found to possess all the ordinary merits of Copper Engraving, with the decided and very important advantages of being executed in one third of the time, of giving a far greater number of impressions, and at considerably less expense’. A newspaper report in December 1829, however, attributed the ownership of the press to James, as did an advertisement in October 1833, so perhaps both contributed to the enterprise. Eulalie Wood certainly had the more conventional artistic skills. In 1842 she advertised as a teacher of drawing in ink and chalk (among her other accomplishments).
