Also known as Mrs Alfred Williams, Pobby, F. E. W., F. E. Williams, Florence Elizabeth Thomas, Mrs A Williams
  • Artist (Painter)
Although Florence received little formal training she was exhibiting at the Royal Academy, London, by her late teens. Migrating permanently in 1873, Florence's paintings seem unique for Australia at the time when domestic genre paintings are almost unknown.
