Views of the Northern Territory of South Australia
An album of views from the Northern Territory. The first 16 photographs are by Paul Foelsche, while photographs on pages 27, 31-32, 34-36 are by Captain Samuel White Sweet, taken between 1868 and 1872. Pages 14, 15, 18, 19, 22-25 and 28-29 are missing and two small photographs on page 33 are by an unknown photographer. All prints are albumen silver photographs taken with wet plate glass negatives. It is possible the album was created by E.S. Wigg & Son in Adelaide (label inside front cover). They acted as agents for Sweet and continued to reproduce his images after his death. Sweet is believed to have taught Paul Foelsche the art of photography. [Information supplied by Karen McGee, University of Adelaide.] Most of the images in the album have already been accessioned under separate numbers, using alternate copies of the prints. Because of this, only those that are unique to the album are digitised here; to see the other images do a NUMBER search on B 4646, B 4652, B 4657, B 5040, B 5062, B 5780, B 5783 - B 5784, B 8752, B 9748 - B 9750, B 8762, B 10104, B 10106 - B 10108, B 10114, B 10118, B 10120, B 10123 - B 10124. See 'contents' for details of the unique images. A researcher has suggested that image 33A (Escape Cliffs) pre-dates the abandonment of Escape Cliffs in January 1867, and was likely taken in 1864 by Arthur Hamilton and Charles Hake, who had been involved in surveying and photography at Escape Cliffs, and, becoming disillusioned with the disastrous expedition, left on the 'Forlorn Hope' on 6 May 1865 with a box of camera apparatus.
