Full text

[Lithographed portrait of Leichhardt published by The Port Philip Herald].

The Gazette is of opinion that the Leichhardt testimonial will amount to upwards of £200, for the whole district. The Port Phillip Herald has published an admirable portrait of the celebrated adventurer, executed in lithography, apparently a copy from that published in Sydney. It is decidedly the best specimen of pen-and-ink lithography we have seen in the colony.
