Dear good people at the Wembley Ware Society
I am an art historian working at the University of Western Australia, and am hoping that someone might have a lead or any further information on the Aboriginal stockman with a pipe that is printed onto some ashtrays I have dated at 1955. I'd like to have 1) a more reliable date for this series; 2) to identify the source of the image used; and 3) to have good quality images of any items of this kind/in this series.
Hope someone can help! I am doing a history of Aboriginal stockmen in art and would love to include some Wembley Ware in a forthcoming book, but need a good image and as much context as I can get! I have attached one low quality image here of the kind of item I am writing about.
Sincerely and with thanks
