In those days it was common for professional ‘street photographers’ to offer their photographic services on the streets in major cities. My grandfather Bernard Ingleby 1878-1941 was an Advertising writer and part time poet who published 42 poems, most in The Bulletin and one in The Lone Hand, between 1904 to 1928. As a result he had close ties with the artistic people of the period 1910 to 1940 in Melbourne and Sydney, including sculptor - Guy Lynch, Artist - Unk White, Poets - Henry Lawson, Victor James Daly, John Keith McDougal and Garry Lyle. Artists – Percy Lindsay (best man at Bernards’ 1905 wedding in Melbourne, although family legend apparently wrongly claimed that Henry Lawson was the best man], Walter Hobbs, Edgar James Turner and Jack Sommers [artist & poet]. My parents Rupert & Una Ingleby were close friends of Guy Lynch and Unk White, initial contact most likely as a result of Bernard’s connection with The Bulletin and his socialising with the many artists and poets who had their work published in it. As a 19 year old, in 1897-1898 Bernard was an ‘observer’ in Clement Wragge’s meteorological observatory, first an arctic tent, then a hut on the summit of Mount Kosciuszko. Guy was born in Melbourne, Victoria and the family moved to Auckland, New Zealand and in 1915, he fought at Gallipoli and in France. He moved to Australia in 1922 with his brother Joe Lynch, a cartoonist. Joe and Unk White used to sketch people on the streets of Auckland. In 1929 Guy studied in London at the Royal College of Arts. His sculptures include: 1931 a bust of writer Beverley Nichols, 1938 a bust of Sir Isaac Isaacs, Paris - a bust of Lieutenant General Baron Birdwood - before returning to Sydney in 1938. The war memorial in Devonport, NZ has a statue of the ‘untidy soldier.’ Other works include “Australian Venus,” and “The Digger” he made a bust of Dame Nellie Melba’s grand-daughter Pamela and a garden sculpture “Victory of Orpheus.” He later created the figures for the battle diorama ‘Pozieres’ at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. The three (3) large doors fitted to the Mitchell wing of the SLNSW, have 18 panels incorporated into each of the doors. The left door is of Aboriginal heritage, the middle door is of Explorers and the right door is Aboriginal heritage. The panel Guy created is on the right door and is titled, ‘Carrying the euro – Luritja Tribe.’ In 1924 he created The Satyr - being a large plaster sculpture held at the Art Gallery of NSW for which his brother Joe was the model. It was displayed at the Art gallery in 1989 in an exhibition titled, ”Stampede of the lower gods.” In 1927, Joe fell off a ferry in Sydney harbour and drowned. Joe had been on his way to a bohemian party at the Mosman home of George & Natalie Finey with a group of artists. (Ref: Poetry of Place, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney by Edwin Wilson) In 1977 Guy’s wife Madge had a smaller bronze cast made from The Satyr and it was erected in the Royal Botanic Gardens near the gates, directly behind the Sydney Opera House, where it looks out onto the harbour to the spot where Joe drowned. Poet, Kenneth Slessor wrote an emotive poem titled ‘Five Bells’ about Joe’s drowning.
