  • armati Aug. 12, 2013 What is the evidence for WC Piguenit being born at "Claremont House" in Hobart?
    • duggim Oct. 8, 2013 The Piguenit biography comes from one of our foundation publications, The Dictionary of Australian Artists: painters, sketchers, photographers and engravers to 1870. DAAO has been given permission to publish the biographies on the site but the authors of the biographies are not members to the site. As there are no in-text citations in this biography, it is difficult to say where the information regarding Claremont House has come from exactly. However, the citations listed in the References tab of the entry might provide further details, or perhaps another member can confirm this information.
  • boltoo Oct. 10, 2013 Armati, if you are able to locate the exact reference, we'd love to be able to add an in-text citation to the DAAO record!
