![The Great Bursting Up Victorian Stream Tin Mining Company … J Woods Minister of Railways Victoria for 88 000. Shows a caricature of John Woods, member of the Legislative Assembly, seated on a pipe holding a money sack labelled £88,000 and looking back at a group of men, some scrabbling on the ground, looking for something; their faces are caricatured so it is likely they were familiar people of the day. One is possibly Louis Lawrence Smith who name had been linked with Woods in a scandal in 1873. The Latrobe river and bushland in background, the tree behind Woods has a sign "La Trobe" pinned to trunk, another "To Europe"; a kookaburra in the tree also has a caricatured face. Date: [between 1870 and 1880?]. ID: IE1344015.
