From the Maitland Mercury report:
An intricate painting by renowned botanist and former Paterson rector Herman Montagne Rucker Rupp is about to become part of the Royal Botanic Gardens’ prized collection. Paterson Historical Society will donate the 1928 painting to the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens early next year.
“This painting is an original by Rupp so it’s pretty important and we didn’t want it buried here where no one could find it, because it’s quite precious,” Paterson Historical Society president Dr Cameron Archer said.
