Bachmann, Theo, c. 1912, Photograph, B 71826/1-100
Collection of several hundred 3" x 4" (quarter plate) glass plates negatives taken by Theo Bachmann. Originally housed in numbered envelopes, they feature the Bachmann and Plunket families, as well as more general scenes. in Adelaide and the surrounding area. The original envelope number (where it exists) is shown in square brackets after the description of each image, and can be cross-referenced to the index (see B 71826/656). Where there is a description on the envelope, this has also been added. The index may well have additional information about the images, but this information has not been added to this database record. Additional information 1: 'Lagergren' was a friend (and best man) of Gus Bachmann (Theo's brother) - see image 9. Additional information 2: Mr and Mrs Plunkett were Bachmann family friends. Mr Plunkett was often called 'Pip' and Mrs. Plunkett 'Mother'. The Mother and Father referred to in the photos are not necessarily Theo's parents, but more often are Mr and Mrs. Plunkett (just to make things confusing) - the photos were taken in the Bachmann backyard just off West Terrace in the city. See photos 19-23. Additional information 3: The Plunkett 'girls' were Kate, Rose and Hazel - the photos were taken in the Bachmann backyard just off West Terrace in the city - see photos 42-47.
