Robert McCormick b. 22 July 1800

  • Artist (Photographer),
  • Artist (Draughtsman)
McCormick is neither remembered for his excellence in the navy nor blessed with a magnificent portfolio that might redeem his deficiencies in this area. Although it is recorded that he took lessons in 'photogenic drawing' and sketched regularly, especially while visiting Tasmania in the early 1840s, not more than a couple of drawings survive to confirm the written history. He had several posts as
