panel 34

Panel number: 34

Petition Sheet Number: 25 

Person honouring: Martha Williams 

Relationship to makers: None 

Martha Williams is one of a number of petition supporters who, it is assumed, could not write and probably could not read either as it shows a cross and the words’ “Her mark” next to her name and to that of Caroline Andrews, the name above Martha’s. The signature below Martha’s is Mary Ann Littlejohn and the handwriting of all three names is similar. Is it possible that Caroline and Martha were in some way connected to Mary Ann?

Panel materials: All materials already owned, most likely previous op shop purchases. Cotton sheet, cotton doily, gold thread, black ink, oil pastels, stamps, watch.
