Returning to Australia to practice law he soon abandoned the profession and took up teaching, before embarking on a career in art in 1878, the year of his father's death. "Twenty Scenes." is undoubtedly his most famous work and he garnered mixed reviews upon its publication: "A.E. Greenwood and H.W.H. Stephen in Catalogue (Descriptive and Critical) of the Art Gallery with Sydney Art Notes (Sydney, 1883) called him 'a caricaturist of great power' and claimed that his copper etchings illustrative of Pickwick were 'almost worthy of Cruikshank himself' (their only too obvious source)." His career was short lived, however, as he suffered a nervous breakdown in 1884 which effectively ended his artistic career. Leather spine shows light rubbing to tips and bands, and there is mild general wear to extremities and a touch of mild shelf-wear to front cover.
