Our first event after the last AGM was the show-stopping evening at the Mitchell Library to view the Macquarie collector’s chest, the Dixson collector’s chest and the Wallis album with Elizabeth Ellis and Richard Neville. This was one of the very best events that I can remember, with the unique opportunity to examine the two chests side by side and to see, at close quarters, the extraordinary Wallis album of watercolours and drawings found in Canada a few years ago. The presentations were fascinating and the discussion that followed was spirited and enlightening. Several members came from interstate, such was the drawing power of the event. I particularly want to thank Tim Cha for organising this
