Summary

[General Description] Head and shoulders portrait of James Henderson Howe, the subject facing left. He is wearing a white cravat and single breasted jacket, and has a greying beard and moustache. A hardworking and genial man, he was a farmer and Legislative Councillor and has been included amongst those described as the fathers of the Australian Constitution. He successfully argued the case for old age and invalid pensions to be become a Federal responsibility rather than state as had been the case in the past. He was also an advocate for the eight hour day.
