A photograph by John Twine published in the Daily Sketch on 29 June, showing Robert Fraser and Mick Jagger being driven to court for sentencing while handcuffed together in a prison van, was the source of this print.

His original label is affixed to the paper backing on the verso of the frame ('T. Duryea, Artist Photographer, 66 and 68 King William Street, Adelaide'), and in our opinion, he has created a masterpiece as both artist and photographer with this work.

[He] was selected as resident commissioner, one of the most important offices under the South Australian Act ... second only to the governor'.

In January 1837… Leer más
