About aka Rix Carlton Cole
Born on the Isle of Wight in 1890, Herbert Cole came to New Zealand as a child.

These are housed at the Royal College of Surgeons, London and in the Hocken Library, Dunedin. Cole also painted a number of New Zealand landscapes, which he signed 'Rix Carlton'. Cole died in 1962.
