In 1882, George Musgrove teamed up with J C Williamson and Arthur Gamer as a theatre production team, pooling their skills and funds for the premiere Australian production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Patience at Melbourne’s Theatre Royal. The production was illustrated in The Australasian Sketcher with Pen and Pencil – 15 July 1882.

Congrats on the centenary, Lynn.

Thanks Geniaus – from one former librarian to another ! 🙂
