Guest Speaker: Elizabeth Yewers
This story connects two Boroondara residents: printer James Beveridge and artist William Dargie. In 1954, Beveridge, a Scottish born printer, commissioned Dargie to paint Australia’s official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The story about how this came about is the subject of this talk by James Beveridge’s grand-daughter, and is based on correspondence held by the Beveridge family.
