Summary

[General description] This is a head and shoulders portrait of Eustace Reverley Mitford, taken in later life. He is wearing a light coloured shirt and jacket with a thin bow tie and has a neat moustache. A great-nephew of John Freeman Mitford, first Baron Redesdale he migrated to South Australia in 1839, bought eighty acres and farmed near the Sturt River. He did not prosper in business but in 1867 started a weekly satirical journal, Pasquin: Pastoral, Mineral and Agricultural Advocate in which he lampooned many aspects of colonial life and championed the underdog. It ceased publication on his death in 1869. [On back of photograph] 'Eustace Reveley Mitford (Pasquin) presented by Miss D.S. Sanders'.
