Overall an important, content-rich album of early, well-preserved photographs of Australia and Tasmania, by local studios. "Greenham and Evans was a commercial photographic company. It had studios in the following locations: Sylvester Street, Coolgardie 1895; Barrack Street, Perth 1895-96; 175 Barrack Street, Perth 1897; 151 Barrack Street, Perth 1898-1900 (Davies and Stanbury 1985, p.171). The company was eventually owned by Denis Brown Dease who arrived in Perth from Melbourne in 1893 (Cato 1955, p.179)". ( University of Cambridge ). "Henry King was born at Swanage in Dorset, England, and brought to Australia as a baby. Very little is known of his early years, apart from what can be gleaned from registers and directories: he served an apprenticeship under photographer J Hubert Newman, married Elizabeth Laing in 1879 and then entered into a partnership with William Slade. In 1880 Slade and King established a photographic studio at 316 George Street, Sydney, whi.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good condition. 63 large albumen photographs by the renowned British born Australian photographer Nicholas Caire, in a wonderful Australian photograph album, comprising 36 views of Melbourne, 18 of New South Wales, and 9 of Ballarat. Most pages feature at least one photograph with the name of the town…on a label laid down above the image, and a period title written in ink below. These include a number of very interesting photographs with identifying business signage or posters, including one of the partially built new cathedral with its protective construction fence plastered with posters. Ballarat's Mining Exchange building is another remarkable image depicting some 50 well dressed people posing in the street in front of the building. Caire (1837 - 1918) worked under the photographer Townsend Duryea; by 1865 he was making images of the Indigenous Australians in Gippsland. In 1867 he opened his first studio in Adelaide, and in 1876 a second studio in Collins Street, Melbourne, focussing on portrait photography. The invention of the dry plate process spurred Caire to take up landscape photography; he set up a new studio in South Yarra and began the landscape photography for which he is renowned.

Very large format albumen print photograph, 215 x 270 mm; dated in manuscript in negative lower left '1 Jan 1874'; the verso has a contemporary inscription in pencil 'No. 1' and a straight-line wet stamp in green ink whose lettering is unfortunately indecipherable; the print has three vertical folds, with a short tear at the bot…tom edge of the central fold; the photograph is preserved in the previous owner's archival mat, on which she wrote in pencil 'Nicholas Caire mount' - presumably, this is a reference to the remnants of a mount that must have perished. The scrubby, scarred landscape certainly makes it possible that this fabulous outdoor group portrait was taken somewhere on the Central Goldfields. Nicholas Caire was living and working in Sandhurst (Bendigo) at this time. There was a surprisingly large number of social events held in Bendigo on New Year's Day, 1874 - in fact, if truth be told, there was probably more entertainment on offer than there would be today. We believe the men in our photograph could have been attending the Oddfellows Picnic on the Campaspe River near Runnymede, to the northeast of Bendigo. A clue to their identity, though, might be found in the presence of the distinguished Indian gentleman who is prominent in the centre of the back row. On that morning - 1 January 1874 - a journalist in the Bendigo Advertiser gave a summary of all the local events that would take place in the day and evening: 'ODDFELLOWSPICNIC.The Oddfellows hold their annualpicnictoday, on the banks of the Campaspe, at Runnymede, and as the place is easily attainable byrail, and is a very pleasant place, and numerousamusements are to be provided, it is expectedthat there will be a large attendance.EAGLEHAWK FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.The Friendly Societies, of Eaglehawk, holdsports at the Botanic Gardens' reserve, Eaglehawk. A procession of the societies willstart from the Town Hall for the Gardens in the forenoon. Innocent sports andgames of all descriptions will be provided, sothat visitors will have every opportunity ofenjoying themselves.PROMENADE CONCERTS AND BALLSThere is to be a promenade concert at theSydenham Gardens given by Nicholl?s fineband while in the Oddfellows' Hall in theevening, Hallas?s City Band will give a promenade Concert. At Nissen's European Hotel,theBendigoDeutsche Liedertafel hold their firstanniversary ball in the evening.THEATRES. .At St. James' Hall Miss Blanch Stammers'and Mr. Garner will appear in the elegantcomedy of " The Happy Pair," and this will befollowed by the pantomime of "RobinsonCrusoe." At the Theatre Royal there will be avaried entertainment, concluding with the pantomime of " Beauty and the Beast."THE NEW YEAR'S RIFLE MATCHESThe annual meeting of theBendigoRiflestakes place to-day at the Back Creek Butts.Firing commences at 9 a.m., and as there arefive distinct matches, shooting will not concludebefore 6 p.m. From the number of entriesmade for the handicap matches there will, nodoubt, be a large gathering of our riflemen atthe Butts. That portion of the public also whotake an interest in shooting will, it is expected,pay a visit during the day to the convincingground. The Ladies' Trophy, which was subscribed for by the ladies of Sandhurst, consistsof a handsome silver tea and coffee service, andis on view at Mr. M. W. Bent's, Pall Mall. Thefiring for this, the principal prize, will commence about half-past one o'clock. Prizes of the total value of about £35 are to he competedfor.' Provenance: Private collection of Joyce Evans OAM (1929-2019), Melbourne.

Albumen print photograph, 183 x 131 mm, mounted on a leaf of thick card removed from a 19th-century album, inscribed in ink on the mount '"Hanging Rock", Mount Macedon, Vic.'; some insignificant spotting confined to the edges of the image, otherwise a strong print with excellent tonal range, in very good condition. A very early…photographic view of one of the most romanticised beauty spots in Victoria. The National Gallery of Victoria (Accession Number PH106.6-1988) holds another print of the same image, which it dates to around 1876. It is on the original mount with Caire's printed information, as follows: VIEW OF THE "HANGING ROCK," NEAR MOUNT MACEDON. / COPYRIGHT REGISTERED. ANGLO-AUSTRALASIAN PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY, MELBOURNE. 10 Temple Court, Collins Street West.J.W. FORBES, Agent. VIEWS OF VICTORIA. / (GENERAL SERIES.) / No. 6. / VIEW OF THE "HANGING ROCK," NEAR MOUNT MACEDON. / The Hanging Rock is situated about 5 miles in a north-easterly direction from the Railway Station at Woodend, / and is a very picturesque spot. Its formation is singularly peculiar, consisting of gigantic masses of basaltic rock / thrown up on end in a projecting or hanging position. Our illustration represents but a portion of the Rock, as it / is not possible to obtain a view of the whole of it in one picture. The height of these large boulders of rock vary / from 150 to 200 feet.
