cartoonist (and possibly illustrator), contributed good cartoons to Sam Slick in Victoria (later Sam Slick at Vanity Fair ), a magazine that lasted six months to December 1879, e.g. (Newsboy calling out) ''Erald Er Penny. – Orrible Murder’ signed 'J.D.’, Sam Slick at Vanity Fair 23 October 1879, 12. His cartoons are signed 'Davis’ or 'JD’ and he probably did some of the anonymous others.
The 'J. Davis’ who later drew illustrations for Town and Country Journal (Sydney), e.g. (man on bucking horse) 'A struggle for mastery’, 19 November 1882, 985, may be another artist.
