In accordance with ADB, I have altered year of death which was previously indexed as 1891 (no further details i.e. day, month or place, had been listed herein). ADB lists 24 August 1890, South Melbourne, Victoria. Although LibAus lists 1891, I have been unable to further verify year of birth via Ryerson, Vic BDM (paid access), NSW BDM and Australian War Memorial Nominal Roll; pending further clarification have asserted date uncertain.

BiographyHistory

George Patterson was an advertising entrepreneur and businessman who 'actively supervised the advertising pages' of The Home : An Australian Quarterly from the journal's inception in 1920 until 1925. While Patterson relinquished 'personal control' of the journal's advertising content, he maintained his 'long association with the publications of Art in Australia' by continuing to work 'in a consultative capacity, as Director of Advertising'.
