Photography in Colonial Australia
Photography in Colonial Australia examines the Australian books of the nineteenth century that use original photographs as a means of illustration. For the first time in Australia, Robert Holden has assessed the importance of photographically illustrated books.

Birds of Our Bush
Excerpt from Birds of Our Bush: Or Photography for Nature-Lovers, Illustrated From Photographs by the Authors In the early days of the Gould League of Bird Lovers, the executive secretary, Mr. H, W.
