caricaturist, initialled a print published in Melbourne in 1858 of a group of dogs with human heads labelled with the names of Australian scientists: Wilson, Clarke, Hough, Blandowski , Archer and Becker . Alfred Waddy of Adelaide has the right initials and a possible link with Melbourne; his former partner Samuel Calvert worked there and indeed is likely to have been connected with the publication. Waddy, however, is not otherwise associated with work of this nature. He remained a printer in Adelaide for many years.
