Kew achieved independence from the Boroondara Roads Board in 1860. As a new municipality, its first three leaders were designated as chairmen. On becoming a borough in 1863, its leaders were identified as mayors. The earliest photographs date from ca.1906, when the Town of Kew commissioned the noted local photographer Josiah E Barnes to produce standardised portraits of former mayors to be displayed in the Mayoral Chamber of the Town Hall. The collection also includes photographs by other well-known photographic studios such as Burlington Studios, Melba – Melbourne, Stuart Tompkins, Spencer Shier and Talma & Co. The majority of mounts identify the photographer. Eighty photographs are housed in their original frames.This portrait is one of a series of mounted and framed photographic portraits of mayors and town clerks of the former Borough, Town and City of Kew. The portraits were transferred by the City of Kew to the Kew Historical Society in March 1989. A Significance Assessment in 2018, funded by the National Library of Australia confirmed the historic, and often artistic significance of the series.Framed portrait of Cr. Edwin P. Wynne, Mayor of Kew 1916-18. The mounting and framing of the photograph follows a typical layout or style in that each is framed in dark wood, glazed, and laid down on an inscribed board.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood Hard Cover, Blue. Author: Charles Dickens Publisher: Oxford University Press Date: 1966 Further Information: With twelve illustrations by Luke Fildes and two by Charles CollinsfictionCharles Dickens (1812–1870) was one of the great English novelists of the Victorian era, famous for vivid characters, social criticism, and stories that were first published in serial form.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood is Charles Dickens’s final, unfinished novel about the mysterious disappearance (likely murder) of a young man named Edwin Drood in the fictional cathedral town of Cloisterham, England. The theme centres around Edwin who is engaged to Rosa Bud in a marriage arranged by their fathers. Both are unhappy with the arrangement and decide to break it off. Edwin’s uncle John Jasper, is the cathedral’s choirmaster, and secretly obsesses over Rosa and is an opium addict. After a tense Christmas Eve dinner with Edwin and the hot tempered Neville Landless (who also likes Rosa), Edwin disappears. Neville is suspected because he was last seen with Edwin, but there’s no body and not enough evidence to charge him. There is also a mysterious figure named Datchery who arrives in Cloisterham to investigate, and an elderly woman from an opium den called Princess Puffer who begins shadowing Jasper.book, the old curiosity shop, charles dickens, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, warrnambool, maritime-museum, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, pattison collection, warrnambool library, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library, great ocean road
