Biography
comic artist, watercolour, oil and scene painter, exhibited at the Royal Art Society of NSW in 1907 and was included in the Sydney Art School retrospective in 1933. He worked for J.C. Williamson as a theatrical scene painter. A set of six humorous postcard designs featuring 'The Kiss’ as sent from the five Australian capitals and one from NZ were printed in garish colours by the NSW Bookstall Co. Another set, published anonymously, shows young women with dresses teasingly blown in the wind. Board entered a comical drawing of a gigantic stork reading a book watched by a shocked tiny kangaroo with a row of waratahs in the background in the Bookfellow’s 1907 'Decorative Drawing Competition – Headpieces and Tailpieces’, but it was disqualified, perhaps because it had already been published elsewhere ( Bookfellow 18 April 1907, ill. 8).
