Note 3: Reg No 1936/5466 - age 65 - (b 1871) - parents Robt Shirlow and Rebecca (Resecca) Flanigan The Age (Melbourne) MR. JOHN SHIRLOW. With the death of Mr. John Shirlow, at his home, Glen Huntly, on Monday night, Australian art is poorer by the loss of a distinguished etcher, to whom the art of his country, in whatever form manifested, was of deep personal interest. He was born at Sunbury about seventy years ago. Though individual local painters, such as Tom Roberts, may have produced etchings prior to Shirlow, he was the first to take the art up de finitely as a profession and the issue of a portfolio set in 1904 found him fairly established in public favor. His early career was a battle against adverse con ditions, pecuniary and otherwise, but his stubborn will triumphed, and his work, which showed a reminiscent leaning to street subjects and old colonial build ings, came to be sought after by private collectors and public galleries. In his earlier days he was a prominent figure on the council of the Victorian Artists' Society, and in addition to black and white exhibited occasional works in color which, though in some respects sound, did not command the attention of his achievements with the bitten line. In 1921 he was appointed a trustee of the Melbourne National Gallery, and wielded an influence on behalf of Australian art on the walls of the galleries. His later election to the Felton Bequest Board, gave further opportunities in this re spect. Mr. Shirlow's ability in teaching was demonstrated as art master at Scotch College, and more intimately as origin ator and instructor of a class in etching at the Technical College. His broad humanitarianism and his generous love of Youth and anxiety to help it in a difficult world was shown markedly in letters to the editor of "The Age" pub lished during a long tale of years. John Shirlow was to the last young in mind and aspiration. Mr. Shirlow leaves a widow and four children. The remains will be cremated at the Spring Vale Cemetery at 4 p.m. to-day.
