Lot Essay

See Hall, p. 64, pl. 47. The model of a 'Sheepshearer' was based on a print by George Baxter, titled, 'News from Home'. It was much sought after by Australians. The companion print is titled, 'News From Australia'. See Pugh, A 157, pl. 60, fig. 186 and 187 for a similar pair of Prince Alfred and the Prince of Wales.
