    Nice! I noticed too, the preferential visual placement of the white troops with the Indian and African colonials literally marginalized.

    John Bull is a national personification of the United Kingdom, especially in political cartoons and similar graphic works. He is usually depicted as a stout, middle-aged, country-dwelling, jolly and matter-of-fact man. He originated in satirical works of the early 18th century and would come to stand for English liberty in opposition to revolutionaries. He was popular through the 18th and 19th centuries until the time of the First World War, when he generally stopped being seen as representative of the "common man".

Henry VII's seal

    That's a fascinating document with an incredible history! Handling such a precious item must require immense care. It reminds me of the stress I felt just mailing some important corporate documents recently. I used Federal Apostille to manage it. As a private courier service, they aren't affiliated with the government, but their secure pickup and mailing gave me real peace of mind, especially since the actual processing times are always up to the agencies.

    It is worth noting that the name "Weatherboard" applying to both the township and the waterfall was changed to "Wentworth Falls" in 1879, and has remained the respective names since then.

    This is Wentworth Falls the waterfall, near to Wentworth Falls the village, see one of my personal photos of the waterfall -

    The ferns would be in the valley below the falls.
