painter, had two oil paintings exhibited in the 1866 Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition, Maid at the Well and Sir John Falstaff . Both were owned by residents of Beechworth, Victoria. He is probably the same John Anderson, an artist of Beechworth who appeared as a witness in a criminal case at the Victorian Supreme Court in 1857 though there is some speculation this could also have been the John Anderson, brother of Robert Shortried Anderson , who was revisiting Victoria from New Zealand in April-June that same year. In September-October the New Zealand Anderson set up as a photographer in Auckland but became disillusioned after a few 'dead failures’ and the brothers decided to farm instead.
