Foelsche, P., c. 1880, Photograph, B 48886/1-39
ALBUM: Attributed to Paul Foelsche, comprising 39 portraits of Aboriginal people of Port Darwin. For more information about Foelsche's Aboriginal portraits, please see the South Australian Museum website re "The Policeman's Eye" exhibition, curated by Philip Jones, who wrote; "Despite his role as a powerful police official, Paul Foelsche prepared these portraits with great care and sympathy. The people they depict all passed away several generations ago, and these images can be regarded safely now, without offending the living or the spirits of the dead." -- information from South Australian Museum website (no longer available).
