sketcher, architectural designer and teacher, advertised in Victoria during the 1860s that he was formerly 'of the Royal Society of Fine Arts, Copenhagen’, Denmark, and he appears also to have worked in York, England, possibly as an architectural draughtsman. In 1863 he exhibited pen-and-ink Views of Ballarat at the Ballarat Mechanics Institute. By 1866, when he showed a cardboard model of York Minster at the Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition, his address was the Phoenix Hotel, Ballarat. He was listed in the 1866 67 National Directory of Victoria as drawing master at Ballarat College in Sturt Street (where he also taught French and German). In 1867 'an octangular stone reservoir, with a square pier in the centre, surmounted by a cast-iron basin and fluted column of iron bearing four gas lamps, and an urn as a finial’, designed by Anderson, was erected in Ballarat in memory of Burke and Wills. Grander designs he had prepared in 1862 were abandoned when funds raised were insufficient to meet the cost of erection.
