Henry William Mobsby was born on 17 Aug 1860 at Hove, Sussex, England, and came to Queensland in 1883 with the landscape artist Isaac Walter Jenner, whose daughter, Mary Ellen, he later married. Mobsby had studied art and design at the South Kensington School of Arts and at the School of Art, Brighton. He had diplomas and certificates from the London Chamber of Commerce, the City and Guilds Institute, the Cripplegate Institute and the South Kensington School of Arts. Mobsby was an instructor in Decoration and Photography at the Brisbane Technical College before being appointed artist and photographer with the Department of Agriculture and Stock in 1897. In 1899, he was also appointed to the Chief Secretary’s Department and the Intelligence and Tourist Bureau. Mobsby’s photography gained international distinction and he officially represented Queensland at the Franco-British Exhibition in London in 1908, the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915 (where he took a motion picture certificate course), the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924, and the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition in Dunedin in 1925 and 1926. Mobsby gave many lectures on Queensland, its history, products, scenery, buildings, etc., illustrated by lantern slides. He also made a number of radio broadcasts in the 1920s. He retired in 1930, and died on 9 Apr 1933 at his home at 100 Station Road, Indooroopilly. He is buried in Toowong Cemetery. Source: manuscripts.library.uq.edu.au/downloads/uqfl181.pdf

Oscar T. Mackey, he won a price in a tournament of the Angler's Club of New York in 1919, see The sun., September 23, 1919, Page 19, 7th. column "New Eastern Casting Record Set". The sun., April 30, 1919, Page 14, 4th. column "Oscar T. Mackey of the Anglers' Club" indicates that he was active as a angler for a long time ago. It's most likely the same Oscar T. Mackey who was a builder until 1902 (see query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F3071EFA355417...) and was a trustee of the Broadway Savings Institution (see New-York tribune., July 07, 1921, Page 18, advertising in the 6th column) He died in August 1921 (see New-York tribune., August 30, 1921, Page 9, 6th column). His name is there spelled as "Oscar P. Mackey", but he is described as member of the Angler's club and trustee of the Broadway Savings Institution, so I think it's the same man and the "P" is misspelled.
