Title
Another Australian Success
Description
"It is interesting to view our Colonial kin as they appear to a foreign artist's eye, which introduces slightly the pleasing medium of its own atmosphere. The lady in the centre, no doubt, personifies Great Britain's greeting to the Anzacs, while the happy sketch of the Jack Tar recalls the tribute of the great American poet, Walt Whitman, to our sailors, 'His was the surly English pluck, and there is no tougher or truer.' Our thoughts travel from Landseer's lions to the hero of Trafalgar, on his pedestal, looking down upon Whitehall, their new comrades, French, Belgian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Servian, Montenegrin, Roumanian, and Japanese, the ten allied nations in arms."
