drawing teacher, was mentioned in August 1854 as offering an evening drawing class for a limited number of pupils 'in Pencil and Crayon Drawing in all its branches’ at John Lorenzo Young’s flourishing Adelaide Educational Institution in Stephens Place, Rundle Street, Adelaide. He therefore seems to have been a brother of South Australia’s well-known progressive headmaster. From the list of subjects featured at this popular boys’ school, it is likely that his drawing classes were mainly technical in character.
