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.
