Biography
sketcher, was born in Adelaide, South Australia, eldest daughter of William Rogers, a Cornish stonemason, builder, pastoralist and member of parliament, and Elizabeth Ann, née Wright. She won a prize of 3 guineas 'for the most meritorious original picture by a young lady’ for her view of St Peter’s College shown with the South Australian Society of Arts in 1864. The next year she won second prize in the same section; her younger sister Jane (q.v.) won first prize. In 1866 Elizabeth Margaret’s The Port Creek won another prize, but Miss Rogers’s prize-winning pen-and-ink Gipsy and the Children (presumably also hers) was considered to 'present no features worthy of special notice’ when the exhibition was reviewed in the South Australian Advertiser . Photographs of St Peter’s College and The Port Creek (both watercolours) are in the Mitchell Library. Elizabeth Margaret Rogers married Mr Verco, a stonemason from Cornwall who had settled in South Australia like her father. This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.
