Falls, Frederick McCubbin, C.Douglas Richardson, Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton and were predominantly small paintings on cedar cigar-box lids many measuring 9 inches x 5 inches (22.9cm x 12.7cm). The cigar lids were obtained by Louis Abrahams from his father, an importer of cigars. Some of the works were framed in red-pine mouldings obtained by Tom Roberts.
