Group of [women] Old Colonists [mosaic]

Jones, Henry, 1872, Photograph, B 19985

Photographic mosaic (composite)arranged by Adelaide photographer Henry Jones bearing the inscription 'Group of Old Colonists'. The majority of the women depicted arrived in South Australia, or were born there, between 1836 and 1840. In May 1872 Jones placed advertisements in the Adelaide press inviting 'lady old colonists' to attend his studio to have their portraits taken for 'a companion group' to the mosaic he has creating of men who attended the Old Colonists Banquet at the Adelaide Town Hall on 28 December 1871 (see B 47769). Women had been excluded from the banquet by its host Emanuel Solomon. Jones began photographing women in June 1872 and was still taking photographs for the mosaic in 1881, the year that the work was completed. The mosaic was later owned by pastoralist Thomas Bowman who donated it to the Public Library of South Australia in 1909. The mosaic contains 598 portraits arranged in roughly alphabetical order.

From left, standing: Wilf Dowden, Harry Jones, Hilda Jones, Mrs Pohlner, Mr Pohlner, Mr Jones senior, Milford Crouch, Reg Crouch. Children in front: Max Dowden (born 1927), Claire Jones, Doug Jones. A researcher has provided the following information: Mr Pohlner is August Wilhelm Friedrich Pohlner (1858-1948), who lived at Tooralie Station, Hallett S.A. at the time of the photo. August Pohlner had been a very successful farmer in the Hallett area since 1878. Mrs Pohlner is Clara Brady (1871-1949), wife of August since 1890. Hilda Jones (1891-1960) is August and Clara's eldest of their 10 children. Henry is her husband, a returned soldier, living at Nackara S.A. Julia and Doug are their children, born 1927 and 1927 respectively. Max and Reg Crouch are brothers, possibly living at Tarlee SA, as they were in 1939, according to the S.A. Voters' Lists. August's father, Carl, came to SA in 1847 on ship "Hermann von Beckerath", aged 16, with his father and 3 brothers, aged 7 to 12. They settled in Bethany. Carl's fourth brother, Alexander, stayed in Germany with his pregnant mother, who was aged in her 40s. Alexander was only 3. In 1856 Alexander came to Australia on ship "Vesta" with his sister, Auguste, as well as her husband and baby. The following year, their mother arrived with the baby (now aged 10) who was born a few weeks after the men left for SA in 1847. She had never seen her father and brothers. The sons were now grown men, some married with children. When Alexander grew up, he married Maria Behn and they lived for many years in the Dimboola area.
