This section contains information about the people and the companies associated with the South Australian photographic trade, including camera operators, retouchers, colourists, photo-material suppliers, etc. You can scroll down the list on the left, choose a name, and the entry will appear in this panel. An asterisk, like this * means that the file has at least one illustration, no asterisk means text only. |
Under List of Names you will find the names of about 700 people and companies known to have operated in South Australia between 1845 and 1915.
Sometimes a photographer is known only from a single advertisement or item in a newspaper, a directory entry, or the imprint on the card mount of one of his surviving photographs. These entries amount to only a few lines, and one hundred and fifty examples have been included under 150 Small Files
Travelling Photographers is about the men who serviced the towns and small communities in rural South Australia, setting up their tents, portable or mobile studios wherever there was the prospect of a little trade.
The rest of the menu is devoted to individual photographers and their work. One of these, Henry Tilbrook, is of special interest as he left behind in his reminiscences a fairly detailed account of his experiences on photographic excursions he made between 1894 and 1905, including the Flinders Ranges. His file is so large it had to be given its own sub-menu.
