He also advertised his services as a teacher, and offered for sale 'a most elegant collection of drawings consisting of Natives of New Zealand and New South Wales, Views, Flowers, etc.'. He styled himself 'Read junior', noting that patrons 'be particular to observe that R.R. jun. has no connexion whatever with any other person in the same profession', not wishing to be tainted by association with the other artist Richard Read in Sydney - his convict father.
