JACKY JACKY. — That well-known and
talented artist, Mr.Rodius, has published a
lithographic portrait of this aboriginal, who
acted so conspicuous and praiseworthy a part
towards the lamented Mr Kennedy. It is an
excellent likeness and touched off in a spirited
and artist-like manner; the intelligence of
the countenance, (so unlike the mass of the
aborigines,) is very happily caught. The
low price which is charged for the portrait,
linked with the interest attached to it, will
doubtlessly insure the artist an extensive
sale. – Sydney Paper.
