• General note
  
  The Sydney Morning Herald of 21 November 1846 p.2 notes that a "lady modeller" had completed a wax portrait of Leichhardt - this is most likely a reference to Mrs Walker.
  
  Confirmation of Leichhardt identification comes from comparison of medallion with Charles Rodius' lithograph of Leichhardt at P2/385
