watercolour painter, was a professional painter from Warwickshire, England who, according to Mallalieu, was regarded as 'too bad to be put to the ballot for the New Watercolour Society [London] in 1854’. Shortly after this disappointment he came to Australia, possibly to try his luck on the goldfields. The Mitchell Library holds several of his pen-and-ink views of Melbourne and Sydney done in the 1850s, some of which were engraved by Greatbach in Scotland.
