"Mr. J. S. Moore sends a variety of examples of river scenery. Typo Rocks, Rose River, being tbe most important. His work, though very careful, is a trifle hard, but all his smaller works, very modestly priced, are pleasing." The Age, Monday 4 April 1887, page 5

 

"Mr. J. S. Moore is a careful worker, and when advanced enough to hide the evidences of such care will doubtless take a good place in art circles. "Typo Rocks" and "Rose River" are the best specimens of his work exhibited."   Fitzroy City Press (Vic. : 1881 - 1920), Thursday 7 April 1887, page 2
