• ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
  
  George Washington Lambert (1873-1930), artist, was born on 13 September 1873 at St Petersburg. The family decided to migrate and George, reaching Sydney with his mother and three sisters in the Bengal on 20 January 1887, soon went to Eurobla, near Warren, a sheep-station owned by his great-uncle Robert Firth. These experiences of bush life gave him an enduring love for horses and rural themes. After several years in England and Europe, Lambert returned to Australia in 1921, and died on 29 May 1930 at Cobbity, near Camden. He was buried in the Anglican section of South Head cemetery.
