Sydney artist Paul Jones, famed for botanical portraits, describes flowers as having strong personality. He details his shift from army art instruction to publishing a limited edition book of flower prints, the high value of such works in Europe, and his evolving method prioritizing composition over exact bloom.

Legacy aid helps late Deputy Crown Solicitor path to law
The retired Deputy Crown Solicitor and early Legacy member W H Johnston recalled how Legacy helped him secure his law career after university. Scarce job prospects and a £200 premium nearly blocked articling, but former Legacy president H E Cohen offered a position without the premium. Johnston rose to Deputy Crown Solicitor after wartime service and later served on Legacy’s board, aiding war widows and orphans as Legacy Week opens in Canberra with buttons sold in government departments.
