| Summary |
"A fine studio portrait of the wife and two of the daughters of Claeb Joshua Jenner (1830-90), businessman and colonial politician, Member of the Victorian Legislative Council of Victoria (South Western Province) from 1863 until 1886. Jenner's wife was Eliza Ann New, pictured here with their two daughters, Annie and Emily. The Sussex merchant Caleb Jenner arrived in Port Phillip in 1850 and spent time on the Ballarat goldfields before settling in Geelong. In partnership with his brother Thomas, Jenner ran a hightly successful coal and iron importing business in Geelong and later in Melbourne, where he relocated in 1863 after being elected to Parliament. Although a conservative, he was an advocate of liberal land law in the colony and also of the abolition of state aid for religion, despite being a devout Baptist." -- seller description |
