Summary

[General description] Three gentlemen pose with a horned bull bearing the brand FF. The photograph is captioned 'Robin'. [On back of photograph] 'From left to right: George Davenport *(brother of Sir Samuel Davenport) / Edward William Pitts of the Levels / Hon. H.E. Brigitt' [sic] [Bright] '(Senior), then a butcher at Gawler / 1862 / Original drawing in the posession of N.W. Morphett' (Another hand) *'Samuel's brother George Francis died in 1843. The person depicted could possibly be Robert Davenport'. A researcher has noticed that this this photo published in the 'Weekly Times' 25/4/1931 as part of a photo spread o page 28-29. It suggests the photo was taken at William J Holding's property Mittai Endai at Wentworth. The caption reads: 'The celebrated Bull "Robin", showing E.W. Pitt, Sir George Davenport and another pioneer at Wm. Holding's Mittai Endai on the banks of the Darling in Sept. 1862.'
