Litho artist and graphic designer. A. G. von Stach, who worked within the Engineering Surveys branch of the Public Works Department, painted an illuminated address sent to Queen Victoria on the occasion of her Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The design was of Western Australian wildflowers and described as “The illumination takes the form of floral designs, the subjects being the wildflowers of this colony, and the whole is a beautifully-executed piece of work.” The manuscript was placed inside a wooden casket richly embellished with some forty ounces of gold, silver rushes, copper and tin alloy swans and much more made by Messrs Madeley, Cohen, Jerger and Donovan & Overland. He lived in Goldsworthy Road, Claremont, Western Australia. He had a studio at St Georges Terrace, Perth, in 1903.
