John Calcott St Quentin

John Calcott St Quentin (fl. 1863–1869) was a notable New Zealand painter, designer and workers' advocate. A supporter of William Sefton Moorhouse, he unsuccessfully stood for various elections in Christchurch, seeking membership on the Canterbury Provincial Council and Christchurch City Council.[1] Despite failing to get elected for office, his 1868 design, involving native birds and plants, for the Christchurch borough seal was approved.
