Subject and Association Description
Mr Richmond is likely to be Mr J. C. Richmond. The two artists made many sketching trips together.
John Gully's granddaughter Cora Lee describes a typical sketching exhibition as "...he and his great friend, Richmond, also an extremely good artist...did a lot of travelling around New Zealand by horse-back with Maori guides and pack horses carrying tents and all cooking pots etc., and I remember mother [Fanny Lee] telling us would disappear [sic] into the wilds sometimes for 6 weeks and how anxious the family sometimes got."
(John Sidney Gully, 1984)
The Bishop Suter Art Gallery Founding Donation, gifted by Mrs Amelia Suter in memory of her husband Bishop Andrew Burn Suter in 1895
