sketcher, surveyor and engineer, was listed in the catalogue of the 1866 Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition as a colonial engineer who provided the sketch of a scene on the Goulburn River, Victoria, from which George Walker of 19 Russell Street, Melbourne, painted and exhibited a finished watercolour. Stewart had been working in New Zealand in 1862, the date on his watercolour of the surveyor’s camp and ferry house at the mouth of the Whareama River, on the east coast. He had returned there by 1897, the year he dated watercolour views of Wanganui (Wanganui Public Museum). Some of his New Zealand sketches were later lithographed.
