General note
Keyword subject:
Cangon Station (Dungog, N.S.W.)
Howard, E. Noreen
Mackay, J.K.
Signature / Inscriptions
Two of the sketches, f.1 and f.2, are inscribed 'Minns Cangon June 26'.
The remaining sketches are neither signed nor dated. None of the sketches are titled.
Attributions / Conjectures
Although the inscription 'Minns' on sketches f.1 and f.2 are different from B.E. Minn's signature on the other, finished works in the collection, all the sketches are believed by the previous owner, who was the subject of two of the portrait sketches, to be by B.E. Minns.
