GOLDIE, Dr William H. d.1904

Born in Auckland, second son of David Goldie, timber merchant, and elder brother of artist C. F. Goldie. Was studying medicine in Edinburgh while brother was in Paris and, a keen amateur painter, joined his brother there during a vacation and went sketching with him. Was also an amateur ethnologist and C. F. Goldie, with his interest in painting Maoris, was probably influenced by this. In 1903 W. H. Goldie exhibited with ASA but died in 1904. Many of his watercolours still survive.
