Stanley’s card circa 1890’s living in St Kilda. There is a reference to his father Henry being mayor of St Kilda about that time. Stanley’s Uncle Maurice and eldest brother Henry jnr were Melbourne’s pioneering practitioners. From a FB post by Ralph.

Link to an artefact made by the Woolwich Chemical Co circa 1932, the year that Stanley died and with whom he was employed at the time. It is a bottle for an anaesthetic (ethyl chloride) and is now kept by the Australian Society of Anaesthetists.
