The Victorian College for the Deaf was opened in 1860 and is Victoria's oldest deaf school. It was opening by the Deaf Englishman, Frederick J Rose, and was relocated to the building seen here on St Kilda Road in 1866, which was built by William Ireland. The deaf sign language used and taught by Frederick J Rose was primarily that of a London dialect of British Sign Language, which heavily influenced the development o Australian's own sign language, Auslan, and by 1891, the so-called "combined method" (manual and oral) was introduced. In 1913, the State Government took over complete responsibility of the education programs of the Victorian Deaf and Dumb Institution.

[Ernest Edwin Abbott.] 43.
[n.d. c.1930.]
Etching. 180 x 273mm. 7 x 10¾". Little creasing.
Ernest Edwin Abbott (1899-1973) was born in Bideford, Devon. In 1911 he left alone as an ironmonger for Western Australia. In 1913 he married Florence Radcliffe Olde, collar worker, also from Bideford. According to the Electoral Rolls of 1919 and 1924 for Kooyong, Victoria, a subdivision of Kew, he was described as an artist. They finally moved to Melbourne where he later died, three years after his wife. He was mainly self-taught. Abbott was a craftsman so had studios and made his own engraving tools and printed his images on a flat-plate press. He is best known for italglio prints, watercolours and some oils. In 1920 having moved to Melbourne he took a studio in Oxford Chambers, but after about a decade he gave up his city studio to focus on printmaking at his home, particularly dry-point etching. His work focused around Egyptian, Australian and English scenery. Abbott is not known to have exhibited during his lifetime, although a retrospective exhibition was held in 1993.
