He died on the way, of scurvy and dysentery. Ludwig Becker had been a member of the Melbourne German Club and Frederick Schoenfeld produced this 1861 lithograph for the club as a memorial portrait. -- Public domain -- http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ludwig Becker Self Portrait (between 1850..1861) SmallFiltered.jpg]
