Description
Albert Henry Fullwood (1863 –1930) was the Australian official war artist to the 5th Division in the First World War. From 1878, Fullwood studied art at evening classes at the Birmingham Institute. After graduation, he migrated to Sydney in 1881 and obtained work at John Sands Limited as a lithographic draughtsman and designer. He later worked on The Sydney Mail and other illustrated papers of the time. He kept up his painting, and in 1892, two of his water-colours were purchased for the national gallery at Sydney. In 1895, Fullwood took a leading part in forming the Society of Artists at Sydney and was a member of its first council.

Fullwood is represented in the national galleries at Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, at Dresden and Budapest, and in the Australian War Memorial at Canberra.
