A$200 · Offered by Douglas Stewart Fine Books

[Between 1890 and 1900]. Albumen print photograph, 205 x 155 mm; in manuscript in the negative at bottom left 624. Australian Aboriginal, N.S.W. / H. King Photo., Syd. ; mounted recto of its original 19th-century album leaf (the leaf has been professionally split ); in very good condition. Unfortunately this image bears one of Henry King s characteristically generic captions unhelpful to the viewer, and unsympathetic towards the anonymous sitter.
