[QUOTE="architrave, post: 9748126, member: 3723"]That is a different person to Thomas Hill Laidlaw. The Sydney-based artist is mentioned in an article about ship paintings on JSTOR.

However it does say: "Thomas Laidlaw (1860 – 1945) listed his occupation in the 1903 Commonwealth electoral roll as 'artist' but also practiced as a shipping agent and photographer, a skill he appears to have applied professionally in providing evidence for divorce proceedings." [URL]https://www.jstor.org/stable/26783780[/URL] Unfortunately it doesn't say whether he worked outside Australia. If he didn't, it would make Thomas Hill Laidlaw a more likely candidate. There are various drawings of Hawick by another TH Laidlaw, (perhaps the father of the one who died in 1906), dating from the 1880s.
