sketcher and photographic colourist, appears to have been E.O. Newman, brother of the photographer John Hubert Newman . In 1866 the young E. Newman won first prize (a book titled Summer Time in the Country ) for drawing at the Sydney Mechanics School of Arts. By the 1870s the adult E.O. Newman was working as a colourist in the Newman photographic studios and occasionally exhibiting 'admirable’ chalk drawings with the NSW Academy of Art. These included a portrait of Henry Parkes at the second exhibition in 1873 considered especially life-like. Although his work was generally exhibited and sold in his brother’s name, E. Newman appears to have been the major, possibly sole, original portrait painter in the firm.
