Edward Roper, painter, illustrator, publisher, lithographer, writer and traveller, was inspired by Australian, New Zealand, South Sea Island and Canadian subjects as shown in the 1886 London group exhibition. Roper was by far the largest single Australasian art contributor and seems to have produced replicas for many years.
