Wingate album

This photographic print is pasted in on page 67 of a leather-bound folio album containing 62 sketches and watercolours and 33 early photographs, many signed by or attributable to Thomas Wingate (1807-69), former British army officer and second husband of Eleanor Terry nee Rouse (1813-1898).
Eastwood House was the property of Edward Terry, youngest son of John and Eleanor Terry. He acquired the Eastwood Estate near Ryde in 1863 and was the first mayor of Ryde and was a member of the NSW Parliament for a short time but was better known in his day as a sportsman, a mainstay of the Sydney Hunt Club and a keen and fearless rider. He was born in 1840 at the Terry family property Box Hill near Windsor, New South Wales and married Isabel Benson in Hobart in May 1865. Isabel Terry is the woman on the right of the photograph and the young child being held by the woman near the barn on the left of the image may be her eldest child, Leslie Terry.
Another copy of this photograph is held in the Wingate Papers in the Mitchell Library, State Library of NSW [A 3804].
