Summary

Studio portrait of Warramunga Aboriginal man Cubagee and David Lindsay. The caption written below the photograph reads 'Warranung (Dick) & Mr. D. Lindsay'. Cubagee was brought to Adelaide, South Australia from the Northern Territory by Lindsay's brother-in-law George Stuart Lindsay in 1886 or 1887. Cubagee died in Adelaide after surgery on a tumour in 1889. Lindsay gave his skeletal remains to the South Australian Museum where they displayed to the public well into the twentieth century.
