St. Kilda, Vic C. 1920. Studio portrait of an unknown man seated in a chair, posing as an Australian infantry corporal. The sculptor May Butler-George used photographs like this, taken at her Drill Hall studio in St Kilda, to assist her in constructing several bas-relief sculptures for the Australian 2nd Division Memorial at Mont St Quentin, France. An early version of the panel titled "The 2nd Division Infantry Attack, August 1918" rests on the easel to the left. Note that the facial features of the Australian in the early version are similar to the those of the posing model but were changed to that of a younger man before the final casting.
