Full text

A series of portraits of the most prominent Aborigines of the various tribes of New South Wales are in progress by Mr. Rodius, which reflect the highest credit on the talent and application of the artist. The extraordinary fidelity with which the characteristic countenance of these sable children of nature are delineated, suggests itself at first sight, which imparts to the whole series a most interesting character. It is the intention of the artist to submit to the public, a series of lithographic copies of the work, which he proposes to publish by subscription, at such charges as will place these interesting copies within the reach of all classes.
